Retinol peeling at home. How to do retinoic peeling at home

Chemical facial cleansing using retinoic acid is gaining more and more popularity: it is effective with a minimum recovery time. You can also do it at home, but in this case you need to pay special attention to the drugs: both the order of application and the final result will depend on them.

When choosing a drug for such cleaning, you need to remember the significant difference between retinoic and retinoic acids. Both substances contain vitamin A, due to which the face turns yellow, but retinoic acid is more effective.

Before choosing a specific beauty product, you should consult with your cosmetologist - he will study the condition of the epidermis and help you choose the right product, as well as tell you how often the procedure should be carried out.

The session can be carried out using ready-made retinoic formulations sold in salons or online stores, or you can make the mixture yourself. The most popular option is products based on retinoic ointment sold in pharmacies, which has an anti-inflammatory effect and speeds up recovery.

When conducting a session at home, you need to stock up on care products for pre-peeling preparation and recovery. In salons, such care series are used by default, and you should not neglect their application at home either: what better skin prepared for retinoic exfoliation, the greater the effect will be achieved.

Who is retinoic exfoliation suitable for?

If the goal is to get rid of mild acne or small age spots, but the epidermis has not lost its tone and there is not even a hint of facial wrinkles on the face, you should choose more gentle options for superficial exfoliation.

Yellow peeling at home should be carried out to eliminate the following shortcomings:

Acne, blackheads, visibly enlarged pores;
Mimic and age wrinkles;
hyperpigmentation;
Decreased tone;
Photoaging;
Dryness and peeling;
Lack of elastin

Retinoic peeling is strictly contraindicated within 6 months before pregnancy, during childbearing and feeding.

Retinoic formulations are not suitable for those who are faced with hypervitaminosis (excess normal level vitamin A in the body) and suffers from allergies, as well as liver diseases.

Like any other chemical peel, retinoic peeling is contraindicated in case of extensive dermatological lesions in the area of application, as well as during infectious diseases, including colds.

Time Frames and Limitations for Retinol Cleansing

Both salon and home retinoic and retinol facial peels are recommended during the cold season, since the sun's rays slow down the recovery process and reduce the effectiveness of the session.

The course of retinoic exfoliation can be repeated every six months, so it is better to start the cycle in the fall or spring so that the next sessions also fall on cool and non-sunny days.

It slows down the renewal of the epidermis and reduced immunity, so you should take care of the issue of taking vitamins and a balanced diet in advance.

2 weeks before the session of retinoic exfoliation, it is necessary to abandon traumatic facial cleansing, visiting the sauna and solarium.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION

Before you do yellow peeling at home, you should set aside time in your schedule - the course stretches for a month, so many people prefer to clean during the holidays.

Preparatory stage

Two weeks before the session, you need to stop using exfoliating products.

The basis of care during this period should be weakly concentrated exfoliants with glycolic acid - they soften the stratum corneum of the epidermis and enhance the effect of retinoic acid.

General application rules

Apply the peeling mass to a thoroughly cleansed and degreased face.
The session begins with the application of a solution of glycolic acid, then - products based on retinoic acid.
The retinoic mask is kept on the face for no more than 45 minutes - the duration depends on the condition of the skin and the desired effect.
If the goal is to fight age spots, it is acceptable to lightly rub the retinoic exfoliant into certain areas using cotton swabs.
The area around the eyes should be avoided, acid should not get into the eyes and mouth. Otherwise, rinse eyes with plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately.

Final stage

Acids must be neutralized with a mixture of one teaspoon of baking soda and a tablespoon of water. After that, the mask is left for another 7-8 hours, and then washed off with warm water.

The skin after a retinoic mask acquires a yellowish tint, it seems “tight” and dryish. Therefore, a thick layer of a moisturizer suitable for a particular type of epidermis should be applied to the face.

The neutralizing composition may cause a slight tingling or burning sensation. In the event that the sensations cause severe discomfort, you should immediately wash off all products and consult a dermatologist.

Carrying out yellow peeling

The retinoic peeling procedure can be divided into stages:

one). Consultation with a specialist– the cosmetologist will assess the condition of your skin, identify the existing problems and develop a scheme for further preparation for the procedure, determining the composition of the retinoic peel, the rehabilitation period, and identify any contraindications.

2). Preparatory– this stage includes a long-term preparation of the skin for chemical retinoic peeling. The duration of the preparation will depend on the composition of the ritinoic peel, the condition of the skin and other individual factors.

During preparation, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, masks and light scrubs are prescribed to soften and nourish the skin, special care products with glycolic acid, fruit acids, as well as creams or ointments with retinoids or retinoic acid are used. Such products will be recommended by a beautician.

The preparatory period may take from a week to 3 weeks. On average, two weeks are allotted for preparation. Longer preparation requires skin with a dark color and skin prone to pigmentation. The duration of the period can be significantly reduced with preparatory procedures at home.

It is the preparatory period that is very important, since the success of yellow peeling and the minimization of complications largely depend on it.

3). Peeling procedure- takes from 20 minutes to 1 hour in a salon and there are longer trains - up to 12-15 hours. This depends on the composition used, and more specifically on the concentration of retinoic acid. The higher the concentration, the shorter the exposure time and vice versa. Long-term formulations are more gentle. Along with retinoic acid, various auxiliary acids are present in the exfoliating composition.

The procedure itself consists in applying the composition in an even layer on the skin of the face. After a certain time, the mass solidifies in the form of a film, a mask. Then the mask is washed off or neutralized with a composition of water and soda. The composition for peeling has a characteristic yellow color, after application the skin takes on a yellow tint, which disappears on the first day.

Burning sensation and sometimes itching are typical during peeling. After removing the mask, there may be redness, tightness and swelling may occur.

Classic yellow peeling uses artificial vitamin A in its composition and it is more effective, aggressive.
The gentle yellow peel uses natural retinol and is less effective, but is suitable for very sensitive skin. Gentle retinoic peeling does not require special preparation and can be performed more often than the classic one.

At the first stage, the cosmetologist develops an individual course of peeling procedures and their frequency. It can be 3-6 sessions every 7 days or every two weeks, a month. Courses with different frequency of sessions are possible.

4). Follow-up or post-peel care- includes caring activities both after the entire course of yellow peeling procedures, and between sessions. This stage includes the use of moisturizers, masks, emollients for washing. It is important to use UV protection during the first few days, as the skin becomes more sensitive to the sun after peeling. The post-peeling period lasts for a month after the course of procedures.

During the first days, peeling, swelling and redness will be observed.

Exfoliation is a faithful companion of retinoic peeling and occurs approximately 2-3 days after the first procedure and can last for 3-4 days. It is invisible and mostly removed with washing in the morning.
Peeling is fine-grained. In no case should you peel off the skin yourself when peeling, but only natural removal when washing. The first peeling results can be seen after a week. The effect of retinoic peeling lasts for 4-6 months.

It is worth avoiding numerous tips on the usefulness of using hormonal ointments and creams in the post-peeling period. It is better to use products with panthenol.

Any cosmetic products used after yellow peeling must be approved by a beautician.

redness;

Since retinoic ointment makes the skin sensitive to ultraviolet light, it is recommended to choose spring or autumn for the procedure. This will make it possible to avoid sunburn, as well as schedule repeat sessions at a reasonable time.

Yellow (retinoic) peeling has won the sincere love of visitors to beauty salons. It helps to actively fight acne and wrinkles. In the salons, the course of procedures will be expensive: at least 15,000 rubles. For reasons of economy, a reasonable question is brewing: is it possible to carry out yellow peeling at home? Let's figure it out.

Features of yellow peeling

The procedure belongs to the category of mid-surface. This means that peeling removes only the uppermost, stratum corneum of the epidermis, without injuring the rest. However, the result after it is similar to the effect of medium peeling (it starts the processes of active tissue repair and the growth of new cells).

The peeling mass applied to the face has a bright sunny color. This shade gives her retinoic acid - the main substance of the composition. Retinoic acid is a synthetic derivative of vitamin A, which is important for youthful skin. Its content in the peeling composition does not exceed 30%. The “complete set” of other ingredients that enhance the activity of retinoic acid depends on the needs of the skin. For example, the mix might include:

other acids (ascorbic, phytic, kojic, azeloic, citric);
vitamins.

Peeling affects the skin in the following ways:

removes dead cells;
reduces the secretion of sebum;
fights skin pigmentation by slowing down the production of melanin;
has a lifting effect;
gives the skin elasticity / firmness;
accelerates tissue regeneration;
helps eliminate comedones, acne and post-acne;
narrows pores;
maximizes blood circulation;
promotes deep hydration of the skin;
fights wrinkles;
helps with unhealthy complexion;
protects the skin from bacteria, viruses.

Retinoic peeling is often carried out at the preparatory stages for plastic surgery. This procedure can be performed on the skin of the face, décolleté, hands, neck. Yellow peeling is also used to treat acne on the back or chest.

It is a gentle and atraumatic procedure. And the effect after it is really amazing: the skin looks hydrated, healthy, radiant, smooth.

Rentinoic peeling is suitable even for the most delicate areas of the face, for example, for the eyelids. The main difference between the procedure and other types acid peeling: the effect after treatment lasts up to 4 months. All this time, renewal processes take place in the skin tissues.

Retinoic peeling can be:

One day. It is also called nocturnal. The cosmetologist applies the composition to the client's skin. Then the client goes home and there already uses another tool necessary to complete the procedure. This composition is left on the face overnight. Therefore, peeling is called night. This method is considered more gentle and gentle.
two days. The cosmetologist treats the client's skin with special preparations for 2-4 hours. After this, the "ward" is released home, where after 2 hours he independently washes off the composition. The next day, the client comes back to the salon. There, his skin is again treated with retinoic preparations. This method not only takes a significant amount of time, but also has a longer rehabilitation period. Therefore, a two-day yellow peeling is much less popular among beauty salon clients than a one-day one.

Retinoic peeling is done as a course. Usually, the course of salon yellow peeling includes 4 procedures. The break between the first two is 2 weeks, between the next - a month. Courses of home retinoic peeling, as a rule, consist of 3 procedures. They are carried out with interruptions of 3 weeks. You can repeat the course of yellow peeling no earlier than six months later.

Who is shown yellow peeling?

Retinoic peeling is suitable for all skin types, even thin and sensitive. There are no special age restrictions either, however, people under 18 do not do it. The main "audience" of yellow peeling is women aged 30-35 who are faced with the initial signs of aging. However, the procedure is also suitable for girls aged 20-25 who suffer from acne or comedones.

Yellow peeling is indicated in the following cases:

skin pigmentation;
wrinkles;
skin aging;
acne or scars left after this disease (post-acne);
manifestations of photoaging of the skin;
loose skin, sagging facial contour;
shallow wrinkles;
bad complexion.

Yellow peeling is used to prevent skin cancer. Retinoids have the ability to damage abnormal cells that cause cancer.

Is it possible to carry out yellow peeling at home?

Retinoic peeling can be done independently. But you can’t do without the participation of a beautician. You will need his help in the following situations:

Identification of contraindications. In beauty salons, this issue is taken very seriously. The specialist will ask you in detail about the existing and even already cured diseases, the characteristics of the body, and conduct a thorough examination. On your own, you are unlikely to determine with high accuracy whether yellow peeling is right for you.

Preparation for retinoic peeling. This procedure is not carried out "right off the bat". Preparations have been underway for about two weeks. At this time, you will need to treat the skin with products with a low content of acids (for softening). And it is better to entrust the selection of such drugs to a cosmetologist. Also, some may need additional procedures, such as almond peeling.
Selection of funds. As mentioned above, cosmetic products for yellow peeling can have different compositions. Only a beautician can accurately determine which products are right for you.
control over the procedure. The specialist knows perfectly well what mistakes can be made when performing retinoic peeling. He will be able to give you advice on the "pitfalls" of this face cleansing.
The choice of creams for use in the rehabilitation period. After yellow peeling, it is necessary to moisturize the skin frequently. The beautician will select the best creams for you.

It is recommended to undergo a retinoic peeling procedure at least once by a professional. You will get a rough idea of how it is carried out. This will reduce the risk of errors during the procedure itself.

Preparations for yellow peeling

A set of preparations for retinoic peeling usually includes the following products (sold as a kit):

glycolic acid solution;
yellow peeling itself;
neutralizing agent.

You can buy such kits from cosmetologists. There are also shops selling professional cosmetics, but they often only sell products to specialists. That is, it is extremely difficult for a “man from the street” to buy these products outside a beauty salon. In addition, buying a kit from a cosmetologist has an undeniable plus: the specialist will select the products that are ideal for you. It is difficult to do this on your own.

The following brands are most popular for yellow peeling:

Yellow Peel;
Martinex;
Holy Land;
GIGI;
Carrot Peel;
Cosmedix;
Christina;
blockage;
New Youth;
Mediderma.

The cost of sets for retinoic peeling starts from 5 thousand rubles. Approximately the same amount on average will cost you one procedure in a beauty salon (3-5 thousand for a one-day peeling, a two-day session costs more - from 10 thousand). A set of funds is enough for several uses (usually 3) - it is more economical to do retinoic peeling on your own.

Preparation for yellow peeling

Preparation begins 2 weeks (with the consent of the cosmetologist, a little earlier, but no later) before the procedure. During this period, you will need to take the following steps:

refuse to visit the solarium, sauna, bath;
do not use exfoliating agents;
do not take vitamin A or drugs containing it;
do not attend laser cosmetic procedures;
use special creams with glycolic acid (let the beautician select them for you);
undergo cosmetic procedures, if necessary (for example, several sessions of fruit peeling).

Dark skin is more sensitive to retinoids, so the preparatory period for it lasts about a month.

How to do yellow peeling at home?

The time of exposure to the compositions on the skin depends on the characteristics of specific products. The funds of some manufacturers are kept on the face before applying the neutralizer for several hours, others - 15-45 minutes. Therefore, it is very important to carefully read the instructions for the peeling kit and follow it scrupulously. In general, the procedure looks like this:

The skin must be thoroughly washed and dried, then wiped with an acid solution (included in the peeling kit). This is done to soften the skin: it will be easier for the “main” composition to penetrate into its layers.
Apply the main retinoic composition. Maintain the time specified in the instructions.
Apply a neutralizer (also included in the kit). Do not rinse. Leave for the time specified in the instructions (usually about 8 hours). When using a neutralizer, you may experience a slight burning sensation on the skin. This is a normal reaction.
Thoroughly wash off all the formulations from the skin and apply a special cream to it (it should be selected by a specialist).

When performing yellow peeling on your own, keep in touch with your beautician. If there are any problems or complications, the specialist will be able to give you timely advice or provide the necessary assistance.

rehabilitation period

The rehabilitation period lasts 1-2 weeks. Immediately after the yellow peeling, your skin will be tight and reddened. On the second day, it will begin to actively peel off. On the third and fourth days, peeling will intensify. Do not pick off the scales: you can injure the skin. Let them fall off on their own. During all these days, the skin may itch, become covered with red spots. On about day 5, redness, itching and peeling will begin to pass.

During the rehabilitation period, the following conditions must be met:

wash with mild, neutral soap;
moisturize the skin with creams (up to 3-4 times a day);
in the first few days do not apply decorative cosmetics;
for at least a week, protect the skin from sunlight with SPF products (from 30);
do not go to the solarium, sauna, bath, do not sunbathe naturally;
do not treat the skin with abrasive cosmetics (for example, scrubs) until the end of the entire course of yellow peeling.

After the procedure, you will need the following cosmetic products:

moisturizing cream;
thermal water;
enzyme masks.

Let the cosmetologist select all these funds for you. He will also determine the necessary frequency of use of these products.

The skin begins to peel off strongly approximately on the second or third day after the yellow peeling. For this reason, the procedure is best done a couple of days before the weekend. Then the "period of active peeling" will fall exactly on the weekend. You can go to work with a more or less smooth face.

Contraindications

This gentle procedure also has contraindications. These include:

herpes (acute stage);
skin lesions with flat warts;
hepatitis and other liver diseases;
rosacea;
allergy to retinol;
any chronic diseases in the acute phase;
the presence of wounds, scratches, rosacea on the skin;
cardiovascular diseases;
lung diseases;
fungal diseases;
pregnancy and lactation, pregnancy planning.

Also, yellow peeling is not carried out after recent treatment with drugs such as Roaccutane and Isotretianoin. With caution, this procedure is suitable for blood diseases.

You can often find the opinion that yellow peeling is allowed to be done even in summer. Theoretically it is. Practically after it, skin pigmentation can begin in the sunny season (even when using protective equipment). Therefore it is better to summer period refrain from this procedure.

A little about the procedure

Retinoic or so-called yellow peeling is considered one of the effective procedures facial skin care. Green peeling can be called more effective, which is also carried out with retinoic acid, but with additional components. The highest quality facial cleansing will be after 3-5 sessions of chemical peeling with lactic or glycolic acids, of course, with breaks in between, which the beautician will tell you about. It is the use of these peels that creates an excellent preparatory "base" for the access of retinoic acid to the skin and 100% effectiveness of the procedure.

Peeling with retinoic acid: properties

Retinoic acid, used for peeling at home, is quite effective in the treatment of acne and post-acne.

It was for these purposes that acid was first used in cosmetic procedures.

Over time, it was noticed that thanks to yellow peeling:

the number of mimic wrinkles decreases, deep wrinkles become less pronounced;

the skin is tightened, the oval of the face becomes more pronounced and clear;

pigmentation decreases, the spots become lighter and less noticeable;

scars and stretch marks can be treated;

stimulates the production of elastin and collagen;

the development of certain types of bacteria stops;

can prevent the occurrence of comedones.

It is thanks to the described properties that this tool has become a leader in cosmetology. Also, chemical peeling with retinoic acid, when exposed to the skin, stimulates active cell division, supplies the skin with oxygen, which is very good for restoring aging skin.

Precautionary measures

Before you start doing retinoic acid peels at home, here are some important things to know:

2. Yellow peeling should not be done more than once every 2-3 weeks.

3. Peeling with retinoic acid 10% can only be done if 2 months before the procedure you have done 3 chemical peels using lactic, glycoic or similar acids. If this is your first peeling this season, the acid should be taken at a lower concentration, preferably 5%. How to do lactic acid peeling with DMAE at home, the article will tell you.

4. It is forbidden to carry out the procedure for pregnant women, nursing mothers, if they are allergic to aspirin.

5. Peeling is not applied to moles, warts; before the procedure, the growths are covered with a plaster.

How to make yellow peeling yourself?

To prepare a cleansing composition, you need to take:

1. Distilled water - 3 ml

2. Retinoic acid (20%) - 3 ml

Important! Use only glass, plastic or ceramic bowls to prepare your cleanser.

Carrying out the procedure:

1. Cleanse the skin of the face, you can use distilled water, tonic, cosmetic milk, etc. Read the article on how to make face tonics at home.

2. Mix the ingredients, get retinoic acid 10%. Be sure to pour acid into water, and not vice versa!

3. Using a brush, apply the product to the face. The area around the eyes is not processed!

4. Leave peeling on the skin until the morning.

5. Wash off with plenty of warm water. For a complete cleansing of the skin, you can use a makeup remover.

After cleansing the skin, it is better to apply a special cream designed for post-peel care. Mosquet oil helps the skin recover well, you need to take 5-6 drops, rub it in your palms and apply to the treated areas. When the composition is absorbed, the skin should be treated sunscreen with a factor of 30.

Feelings after the procedure

Consider the main points that will help you figure out what will happen to the skin.

30 minutes after cleansing the skin, you will feel a slight burning sensation, which will pass in 2-3 minutes.

After 60 minutes, your skin will tighten, there may be a feeling of slight tightness. Therefore, try to smile less, talk less, i.e. watch the facial expressions so that the wrinkles that appear at the moment are not fixed. The lifting effect will last 2-3 days.

On the second day, the skin will darken a little, do not worry, this is part of the process, which lasts only 1 day.

Try to drink more liquid, this will help moisturize the skin. This is especially true for older women or those with dry skin.

2 days after peeling, the skin will peel off. This process will take 7-10 days. Each part of the face will be cleansed differently, most often the forehead skin is removed last. It happens differently for everyone.

After peeling, you will feel that the skin will be very dry. Don't worry, it's all right, because. the skin is already dead and its task is to protect the “new” skin, just formed and filled with elastin and collagen. To slightly reduce the feeling of discomfort and tightness, use moisturizers.

Important! When carrying out the peeling procedure with retinoic acid, be as careful as possible. This acid burns the surface layer of the skin, therefore, improper mixing or a higher concentration of the product can harm the skin.

Differences between retinol and retinoid facial peels

By sound, it may seem that we are talking about the same species, but this is not so, although both of them belong to the category of "yellow". Retinol peeling contains retinol, i.e. vitamin A. Retinoic peeling contains retinoic acid (isotreonine).

Retinoic acid is a metabolite of vitamin A. Therefore, its action is much more powerful. Accordingly, retinoic peeling is more effective than retinol peeling at the same concentration. Many cosmetologists avoid retinoic peeling, since the process of skin regeneration takes much longer, the predictability of the result is much lower than that of the opponent (retinol peeling).

Retinol or retinoid peeling belongs to the category of superficial-median. Since it is quite gentle, it has no contraindications even for young skin. The retinol procedure stimulates the synthesis of surface layer lipids, restores the cell population.

The effect of retinolic acid

Due to the improvement of cell metabolism, after peeling with retinolic acid, the cells begin to produce collagen and elastin more intensively, which favorably affects the elasticity of the skin. Retinol peeling reduces the possibility of skin oncology.

Since the cell recovery period is short, it practically does not interfere with the daily routine. This peeling has a stimulating effect on the skin, despite its thickness. For all its merits, retinol peeling is very inexpensive, about 2 thousand rubles for one procedure.

What to do at home

The benefits of retinoic peeling

If your skin “began to forget” what “elasticity” is, there are dark spots in large quantities, then retinoic peeling is what you need. For the first procedure, it is best to go to the salon to see what and how. And then, if you have enough self-confidence, then you can experiment at home.

It is definitely impossible to carry out the procedure if:

The age has not reached 35 years - this is the advice of leading cosmetologists, provided that you do not have any special skin problems, i.e. no facial pigmentation, no scars, etc.
The physical condition does not correspond to the norm, i.e. you can not do peeling either at home or in the salon for pregnant women; in the presence of demodicosis, allergy to vitamin C, peeling is also contraindicated.

Regardless of where the procedure will take place, the skin of the face must be prepared. For several weeks before the procedure, special creams containing acid should be applied so that the skin of the face and neck does not experience stress. The dosage of acid in creams is gradually increased.

Increasingly, the procedure is being practiced at home. Before you get started, watch the video tutorials, talk to your beautician about all the nuances. After the information is collected, all "the will is gathered into a fist", you can proceed.

In the pharmacy, you need to purchase Differin cream, which dermatologists recommend for the treatment of acne. Before peeling, check yourself for allergic reactions. Even retinoic peeling at home requires post-peeling facial skin care.

moisturizing;
the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for external use;
application of regenerating agents.

Retinol peeling process

Another option for rejuvenation at home can be retinol peeling. You can not carry out the procedure:

if you are pregnant or breastfeeding;
if there is herpes, dermatoses;
if there are allergic reactions to vitamin A;
if you are taking systemic retinoids.

Retinol peeling at home can be done by a specialist or you can do it yourself. The face is pretreated with glycolic acid. Then a peeling solution is immediately applied, after which, after 15 minutes, it is necessary to apply a neutralizing solution to the skin of the face. Post-peeling care is mandatory and is completely identical to retinoic peeling.

Be sure to consult with your beautician regarding the procedure itself at home, the choice of means for post-peeling care. You should not hope for a “Russian chance”, any of your mistakes out of ignorance can turn into serious consequences.

Peeling procedure from what is at hand.
To carry out this type of peeling at home, the advice of a cosmetologist is not required. Contraindications to it, as well as indications, are described above. You will need cucumber, aloe leaves, chamomile, green tea and gelatin.

This peel is also suitable for sensitive skin. We prepare 0.5 cups of brewed green tea and the same amount of chamomile decoction, one tablespoon of aloe and one bag of unflavored gelatin.

We clean the cucumber, take out the seeds and prepare mashed potatoes from it. We filter through gauze, the resulting mixture, then decoctions of green tea and chamomile. Put the gelatin in a small saucepan and pour 0.5 cups of a mixture of green tea and chamomile decoction. We heat over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved, but do not boil. Next, aloe and cucumber juice are added, everything mixes well. Let the mixture cool down for 20 minutes.

On the prepared clean skin of the face, the resulting mixture is applied with a spatula in a thick layer. Avoid the area around the eyes and lips. For 20 minutes we “fall out of reality” and enjoy peace. The frozen mask is easily removed from the face, for this you need to grab the edge on the chin and pull it up from you. Residues should be removed with plain warm water, use linen soft tissue not a terry towel.

Approach your appearance, and especially the skin of your face, with all responsibility. Peeling (regardless of whether it is retinol or another) is a rather serious procedure, despite the simplicity of its implementation. Think over each step, even if it seems simple to you. Only then will success be on your side.

First, clean your face and apply 2 layers of cream. It will help remove dead cells. Next, use the peeling agent directly. Acid must be applied even to the skin around the eyes. Without washing off the retinoic mass, cover it with a mixture of baking soda and water (in a ratio of 1: 2). This is a neutralizing mixture. It can be washed off after 7-8 hours.

During this time, you may feel a burning sensation. Do not be alarmed, this is a normal reaction, just the cream interacted with the skin and the cleansing process began. At the end of the procedure, you need to wash your face with water at room temperature and apply a moisturizer that you usually use.

After a few hours, the skin will begin to exfoliate and get rid of the dead layer. This process is very active. No need to speed it up, helping to remove skin particles manually. In this case, it is better to use moisturizing creams and thermal water.

Each procedure requires a system to consolidate its effect. Retinol peeling at home should be done 3 times (1 time in 3 weeks), and repeat after six months.

Post-peel care

Care consists in the use of moisturizing cosmetics, as well as drugs with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and regenerating properties. In order not to irritate the skin and soothe it after chemical exposure, it is advisable to use thermal water, creams that do not contain dyes, fragrances and preservatives.

The skin after exposure to reninoic acid is very vulnerable and requires special care. It must not be exposed to direct sunlight. She needs to re-hydrate. Therefore, be sure to use daily masks, creams with a moisturizing function.

Apply a high protection cream (SPF over 30) to your face before going outside. Do not interfere at this time and the adoption of antihistamines.

Contraindications

Experts do not advise women under 25 years of age to resort to such an effect on the skin, since at this age it is possible to use more gentle cleansers with no less success.

Allergy to aspirin.
Diseases of the liver, respiratory organs and heart.
Skin injuries.
