Home methods

But not everyone has the time and money to visit a salon regularly. And to obtain significant results, one amber peeling procedure is not enough - a course of at least 5-8 sessions is required. Therefore, many people prefer to do it themselves at home. You don’t have to crush amber for this - you can easily buy acid at any pharmacy.

General rules

The first step is to thoroughly cleanse your face of makeup. Succinic acid molecules are not able to penetrate too deeply, and if the pores are clogged, the effect will be very superficial. After makeup removal, the skin is rinsed with clean water, blotted with a towel and wiped with tonic.

A necessary step is light steaming. This is done so that the pores open slightly and the product works better. For those who plan to do peeling with succinic acid constantly at home, it is advisable to purchase a portable vaporizer or sauna mask. But as a last resort, you can hold your face over a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.

A good warming up option is an infrared massager. It activates subcutaneous blood circulation and delicately opens pores. Ideal for people with mild rosacea, for whom an amber peeling procedure is beneficial, but a facial sauna is not.

Next you need to prepare the mask according to the recipe chosen in advance. This should be done only immediately before use in order to preserve all the beneficial properties of the components. The composition is applied in an even layer and left for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the type and condition of the skin.

After the peeling is removed from the face, the skin must be additionally moisturized. Although it does not dry out the epidermis too much. This will reduce the feeling of tightness and make subsequent exfoliation softer, almost unnoticeable.
