It is not always possible to visit the beauty salon. Make a deep peeling face at home is quite possible. Currently, a large amount of exfoliating agents for home use are being produced. Procedures that used to be done only in salons can now be done independently.

Carrying out the procedure

With deep peeling, the upper layers of the epidermis are peeled off, right down to the lowest basal layer. Removing a significant number of dead cells allows the lower tissues to be exposed and to cause rapid skin renewal. Together with the outer part of the skin, the defects are also removed. The depth of wrinkles, scars and scars decreases while dark spots  turn pale.

Deep peeling at home is done with acids. They dissolve the surface of the skin, creating an extensive burn. Burnt fabrics form a crust and eventually disappear, revealing a more toned and refreshed face. The stunning effect persists for 5 - 10 years.

For deep peeling use phenol. It causes a burn of 3 degrees. Phenol exfoliation improves blood circulation in the upper layers of the skin, normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin. The procedure stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen threads provide strength and elasticity of the skin, allowing it to look young.

On the video, deep facial peeling at home:

1 - 2 weeks before the procedure, pre-peeling preparation is carried out. Apply a chemical exfoliation agent with weak acids to the skin (Base AHA with an acid concentration of 16%) and after 5-10 minutes wash off. Treatment with weak acids levels the skin, facilitating the penetration of the compound with phenol deep into the tissues. Before phenol peeling can not sunbathe.

Recipes means for deep exfoliation may vary from different beauticians. Most often, the composition contains 30 ml of phenol (88%), 20 ml of bidistilled water, 5 ml of hexachlorophene and drops of croton oil (10 per 100 ml of mixture). It is also necessary to prepare a neutralizing compound and a syringe with water. Water is needed to quickly flush eyes in case of accidental ingress of acid into them. The acid is neutralized with sodium bicarbonate solution (10% -15%) or neutralizing lotion.

Phenol peeling

The face is washed with soap, cleaned with alcohol and degreased with acetone. Hair hiding under the cap. Vaseline is applied to sensitive areas (the corners of the palpebral fissures and nasolabial folds). During the procedure, the head should be raised to 45 degrees, and the eyes are closed. To avoid getting an aggressive agent in the face, the container with the composition must be opened away from it.

The composition is applied with a brush on the forehead, then on the right cheek, nose, left cheek and chin. The area near the mouth is processed if necessary. The last to cover the composition of the upper and lower eyelids. So that the demarcation line does not appear at the junction of the treated and non-processed areas, a tool is applied on the edges of the face with pen strokes.

The composition on the basis of phenol is neutralized after 3 minutes. But if a grayish-whitish bloom and bubbles appear, the agent must be removed immediately. Then rinse the face with water.

Post peeling events

Immediately after deep peeling, the face looks swollen and red, like a baked apple. If the procedure does not cause complications, it will appear in public in 3 to 4 weeks. In some cases, the consequence of skin treatment with acids is allergic reaction  or the occurrence of scarring from burns. After injury, there remains a high probability of infection and the appearance of foci of inflammation.

Make a deep peeling of the skin at home can only with the help of a professional beautician. One should follow all his recommendations during the procedure and after it. It is better not to go out and not to contact with strangers in the first weeks after peeling.   It is advisable to carry it out in the autumn or winter, when the activity of the sun is minimal.

It is strictly forbidden to strip off the crusts, trying to expose the renewed skin as soon as possible. Its surface is very delicate and sensitive. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, hyperpigmentation may appear on it.

disadvantages

Phenol is very toxic. It is a poison that negatively affects the nervous system and irritates the airways. As a result of the absorption of phenol into the bloodstream, a chemical reaction may occur. Its consequence may be arrhythmia. Before you make a deep peeling, you must consult with a beautician. People who have heart, liver and kidney disease, do not need phenol peeling.

It is not recommended to do peeling with a concentration higher than 20% at home due to the risk of burns. For the first time, it is desirable to purchase a more benign composition of 5% - 8%. More concentrated product can be reused.

For 1 - 2 weeks before peeling you need to carry out pre-peeling preparation with weak acids. Do not replace the chemical procedure with scrubs. You can make enzyme instead of acid peeling. In the pre-peel period, you can not sunbathe. It is recommended daily, before going to bed, to apply on the areas where peeling will be carried out, alpha-hydroxide lotion (5%).
