What is fruit peeling?

Fruit peeling procedure considered the softest and safest of all types of facial peeling. It is a type of chemical peeling, but is performed using fruit acids. The procedure helps remove dead cells superficially, reduce fat content and start the rejuvenation process. With the help of AHA acids, only spent cells are removed, while living ones remain intact and functional.

Although in cosmetology fruit acid is generally considered to be gentle, much depends on the type of acid and their combination. Also Facial skin type is important when performing the procedure. patient, depending on this, the type of peeling is selected.

The ancient Egyptians and Greeks were the first to use this procedure; even then they made masks from various fruits and berries. The effect was almost the same as using fruit peeling in modern beauty salons. In our time, until quite recently, peelings were usually prescribed to those who had skin problems:

• age-related pigmentation;
• scarring;
• defects on the skin surface.

Now the peeling composition is more gentle and can be used not for medical purposes, but for cosmetic procedures. They became very popular among young girls and women of different ages. They are used to cleanse the surface of the face of dead skin cells, get rid of rashes, enlarged pores, and normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

If you look carefully at the photo before and after fruit peeling procedures, you can see big difference on the condition of the skin. Such facial cleansing is always beneficial and many women have begun to give preference to such cosmetic procedures.

Fruit acids used for procedures are natural plant substances. During peeling, they can penetrate deep enough into the skin and reach the upper layers of the dermis. They are classified as a superficial type of peeling, therefore they are actively used to eliminate many skin problems, such as acne and age-related changes, as well as hormonal imbalance. If serious age-related changes are observed, then fruit peelings are powerless in this case. They only work mainly to solve the problem of moisturizing the skin surface and cleansing it. Fruit peels contain acids:

• dairy;
• glycolic;
• wine;
• grape;
• apple;
• lemon

Correctly selected composition depending on skin condition has a remarkable antioxidant effect on its upper layer and neutralizes the effects of free radicals. Acids even out the skin texture and, after cleansing, do not allow the lower layers to breathe normally. This further prevents the development of various skin problems.

Stages of the procedure

The entire peeling procedure in salons lasts approximately 20 minutes. Fruit acids are mixed and the desired cocktail is obtained. Vitamins A and E and others are also added to the main composition useful components, for example, very valuable for the skin hyaluronic acid. Peeling consists of three important stages:

• cleansing;
• applying fruit acid and removing it;
• use of emollients and sedatives.

The course of sessions lasts for 1-2 months over a certain period of time. Each time the cosmetologist increases the concentration of the cocktail of fruit acids, so the procedure takes less time, since the composition has an intensive effect on the skin of the face. The entire peeling procedure occurs as follows.

First, cleansing foam is applied to a damp surface, except for the area around the eyes. It is washed to a foam state and then washed off with cool water. Then, using a brush, apply the prepared fruit cocktail, starting with the least sensitive areas in the face and décolleté. Last but not least fruit acids Apply to eyelids and cheekbones. The composition is applied with gentle movements in the form of strips so that they do not overlap each other. After applying the peeling, a slight burning or tingling sensation appears on the skin. This can last several minutes, much depends on the individual sensitivity of the skin.

The next stage is neutralization and removal fruit cocktail from the surface of the skin. Lastly, a product with protective, moisturizing and soothing properties should be applied to the treated surface.

The time of exposure of fruit acids to the skin is considered a very important factor. This determines the effectiveness of the peeling procedure. The peeling exposure time is not strictly recorded, because everyone’s skin is different - barrier properties, thickness, skin type, sensitivity to acid and cosmetic defects. The effect after completing the course of procedures lasts from 6 months to 1 year, after which it can be repeated again if desired.
