Peeling from Hollywood?
Hollywood peeling is a chemical superficial peeling with a predominance of phytic acid in the composition of the drug. Advantages - there are no age restrictions, it does not depend on the season and the procedure can be done at any time. Therefore, the service is very popular among Hollywood stars (hence the name). Peeling gently exfoliates dead skin cells, restoring the skin's ability to breathe and improving complexion. Phytic acid removes harmful metal ions, the cause of inflammation and pigmentation, and the skin once again glows with health and freshness.
But compliance with safety measures during the process is a necessary condition. To avoid getting burned, you shouldn’t get too carried away with Hollywood peeling: after all, it’s a chemical peel. It is recommended to use only the services of qualified cosmetologists: they select the optimal number of sessions and timing.
The frequency of the procedure is slightly higher than other peels, and this is its advantage. The cells of the upper layer of skin will be constantly renewed, and the skin remains elastic and fresh. The procedure takes forty minutes and does not cause any noticeable discomfort.
Complete cell renewal occurs after just six sessions. The skin becomes velvety to the touch and the tone is evened out. Pores are reduced, the skin is protected from the appearance of acne and oily shine. It smooths out and inflammation goes away. There is virtually no healing time required. Even in summer you can perform a similar procedure.
In general, the best option is to carry out Hollywood peeling in a salon. The procedure is much more effective and noticeable. The risk of overexposure and burns is minimized. You can, of course, achieve freshness and younger-looking skin at home. But without practice and phytic acid, this is very difficult.
Succinic acid is also added to the complex for rejuvenation. It supports cells, preventing premature death, stimulates metabolism and improves skin immunity. In their pure form, such acids are, however, rarely used. Professional cosmetics from leading manufacturers are preferable.
Types of peeling
Hollywood peeling includes yellow peeling, retinoic peeling, calcium chloride and soap peeling, and phytin peeling. Yellow is very similar to phytin. The mixture applied to the face includes both phytin (it is the main component!) and retinoic acid, and the composition of retinoic peeling, along with retinoic acid, includes phytic acid as the main component. Retinoic acid temporarily gives a yellowish tint to the skin. Contraindications for all types of Hollywood peeling are the same.
Penetration of phytic acid is superficial. Only the epidermis layer is destroyed, no damage is caused to the lower layers. Therefore, of all types of peeling, Hollywood peeling is considered the safest for the skin. It is recommended to carry out the procedure when:
- age and facial wrinkles,
- fading dull skin,
- the presence of hyperpigmentation and photoaging,
- for scars, acne and post-acne,
- as an anti-aging agent,
- with increased sebum secretion,
- to stimulate collagen production.
It is recommended to carry out at least once a year.
You should not sunbathe for a month after the procedure. It is advisable to conduct the session without makeup, and after completing the peeling, follow all the specialist’s recommendations. Contraindicated for:
- acute skin allergies, inflammations,
- in the presence of skin diseases,
- with exacerbation of chronic skin diseases.
- during herpes,
- during periods of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Advantages and disadvantages of peeling with calcium chloride
A cosmetic procedure such as peeling helps eliminate excess oily skin, wrinkles, acne and their marks. It promotes epidermis renewal. You can peel yourself at home with a calcium chloride solution. This is a simple and effective procedure.

- Tissue regeneration improves.
- Removing dead cells from the top layer of skin.
- Has a rejuvenating effect.
- Suitable for treating elbows, knees and heels.
- The effect can be noticed immediately after use.

Before and after peeling with calcium chloride
The opinions of professional cosmetologists regarding home peeling with a calcium chloride solution are controversial. If the technique is violated, burns and tissue necrosis may occur. But if you follow all the rules, peeling gives excellent results.
Disadvantages also include the occurrence of allergic reactions. And with frequent use, severe dehydration of the skin begins.
We recommend reading about the types of chemical peels for the face. From the article you will learn about indications and contraindications for chemical peeling, medications for the procedure, technique, and skin care after. And here is more information about the benefits and indications for peeling with salicylic acid.
Carrying out
Peeling begins as usual, with skin cleansing and makeup removal. After this, a special solution of several acids is applied to the skin to exfoliate dead cells. This is followed by a mask made mainly of phytic acid. This alternation helps to achieve a fresh-looking skin.
After this, you can go home and after a day, wash off the remaining products on the skin with cosmetic milk or gel with plenty of water. There may be a slight tingling and slight burning sensation. They will disappear after a few minutes. Immediately after completion of the procedure, the skin is transformed, becoming smooth and acquiring a soft pink tint.
After a day, tightness appears due to the death of the upper layer of skin, and after three days peeling becomes more active. A week passes - the skin is completely renewed, fresh, becomes elastic, facial wrinkles disappear, and appears as if glowing from within. To obtain the most lasting effect, a minimum of three procedures are required with a two-week interval between each.
During the peeling course, it is important to use a moisturizer and make masks with enzymes. When peeling in the summer, a sunscreen with a high SPF factor (not lower than 50) is required.
Recovery after the procedure ↑
Despite the fact that everyone unanimously states that there is no rehabilitation as such after yellow peeling, reviews and photos say the opposite.
The skin begins to gradually peel off, as if after sunbathing. Of course, you cannot “help” her with this; you must give her the opportunity to cleanse herself naturally.
During this, it is necessary to use a moisturizing or nourishing cream, depending on the needs and time of year. You must stop using scrubs and alcohol-containing lotions! Take care of your skin and do not use creams containing retinol.
But what if you try to do this procedure at home?
Hollywood peeling at home
You can perform an analogue of Hollywood peeling at home. The skin is guaranteed to be fresher and the complexion will noticeably improve. To carry out the procedure, you will need five percent calcium chloride in ampoules and baby soap without fragrances or impurities.
Only when it interacts with calcium chloride, exfoliating dead salt cells are formed, tightening enlarged pores. The procedure will completely eliminate oily sheen and the skin will become matte. The pores are cleansed, and minor inflammations and pimples are dried out.
You can perform a home chemical peel with calcium chloride to cleanse and tighten the pores of combination and oily skin. At the same time, the procedure is contraindicated for dry thin skin, especially with exacerbations of acne and extensive inflammation.
Skin diseases, dehydration, injuries, allergies to peeling components, pregnancy and breastfeeding, fresh tanning or skin burns are contraindications.
Before starting a home chemical peel, you should carefully examine your skin to make sure there are no wounds. Even a small scratch can cause a burn. Therefore, it is better to wait for complete healing, and only after that carry out peeling. Start with a five percent solution. You can switch to ten percent only gradually so that the skin gets used to the effects.
For combination skin, you can apply the drug to oily areas and the T-zone. For dry areas, the amount of solution is minimal, and it is better not to apply the product at all. Around the eyes, along the red border of the lips, the area of the upper lip to the nose are areas where peeling cannot be carried out. An allergy test is required before the first procedure. The solution is applied to a small area of the back or arm. If after a few hours no unpleasant signs appear, then you can apply it to your face.
The solution can only be applied to dry skin. If a strong burning sensation occurs while sawing, you must thoroughly wipe off the solution with a napkin and then rinse with water and soapy water. It is advisable to carry out it in the evening so that the skin returns to normal overnight.
What is this procedure?
Hollywood peeling is carried out as follows:
- The doctor-cosmetologist, using the means at his disposal, removes the remnants of cosmetics from your face and performs preliminary cleansing of the skin.
- The surface of the facial skin is treated with a solution containing fruit acids and left for up to 20 minutes (a slight burning sensation may occur).
- The action of the acid is stopped by applying a neutralizing agent.
- The facial skin is treated with a special tonic cream.
After the procedure, the skin turns red, there is a feeling of tightness and dryness. Then the top layer begins to peel off intensively, thus removing dead cells. After the peeling ends (usually a few days after the session), the effect of peeling becomes visible.
Hollywood facial cleansing can be carried out either in courses or as needed.
In addition, modern manufacturers of cosmetics have developed many preparations so that this procedure can be carried out at home.
Two techniques
If the recommendations are not followed, pigmentation, dryness, uneven complexion, burns, and allergies may occur. Carrying out home chemical peeling with calcium chloride is possible using two methods. The first is long, the second is fast. However, the latter is intended for more experienced users who are already familiar with the process. Therefore, for the first time you should act according to a long-term scheme.
Start with cleansing the skin. It is washed with foam or gel and wiped dry. This is followed by application of the solution. To do this, carefully open the ampoule, moisten a cotton pad generously with the solution and apply it to the skin in several layers, about three or four. Take a short break between each to allow it to completely dry on your face.
Then moisten the baby soap with water and thoroughly lather your hands with it; you can also apply it to your fingers, previously wrapped in sterile gauze pads, or apply it to cotton pads. After this - facial massage with soap foam. It is important to move along the massage lines. As a result, white pellets are formed, along with which the upper stratum corneum rolls off the face. Hands are washed several times so that there is a sufficient amount of soap foam.
The solution is not applied around the eyes, except for the crow's feet area, and around the lips! There is no need to press: it is important to move smoothly and softly. It is better not to linger in certain areas for a long time, but to act evenly. When no pellets are formed during soaping, the remaining soap and solution are washed off with warm water. Finally, a nourishing or moisturizing mask is applied to the skin, followed by a nourishing or moisturizing light cream.
Homemade peeling with calcium chloride.
The second technique, after cleansing, involves applying one layer of thick soap suds to the skin. Next, the fingers are moistened with a solution of calcium chloride and gently massaged until white pellets appear. When the skin “creaks” under your fingers, it’s time to wash off the remaining foam with the solution. Next is applying the cream and nourishing the skin.
The course is carried out in one procedure once a week or ten days for three weeks. For sensitive skin, the limit is home chemical peeling once a month. In this case, half an ampoule is enough so as not to cause irritation.
How is peeling carried out in the salon?
Chemical facial cleansing in the salon begins with makeup removal and assessment of the client’s skin condition. Then the specialist applies a solution of several acids. After the acid layer has dried, the face is covered with soap foam to begin the chemical reaction. The specialist massages the face with his fingers until pellets form.
The next stage is removing exfoliated particles with water. At the last stage, the acid-treated area is covered with a mask with phytic acid: it continues the cleaning work. The product applied by the cosmetologist is washed off with a special gel one day after the peeling.
Before the first facial cleansing in a salon or at home, you need to conduct a drug tolerance test. A small amount of the solution is applied to the wrist and the skin reaction is observed.
Before cleansing your face with calcium, you need to make sure that the composition does not cause negative reactions on the skin. To do this, apply a small amount of the drug to a sensitive area of the dermis (usually the wrist, but you can test the product on the crook of the elbow). Be sure to wait 1-3 hours. If discomfort, rashes, burning or redness do not appear, you can proceed with the procedure.
It is better to start cleansing the skin in the evening. Even if slight redness or irritation appears, it will completely disappear by the morning.
Preparation
Before cleansing the dermis with calcium, it is necessary to carry out simple preparation of the face, which will increase the effectiveness of the drug. There are no special requirements here:
- Carefully examine the skin, make sure there are no wounds, purulent rashes, or cracks.
- Use your regular makeup remover.
- It is not recommended to wash your face or use aggressive detergents; it is better to use natural-based foam.
- Remove any remaining moisture, wait 2-5 minutes until the skin is completely dry.
You should not vigorously dry yourself with a hard towel - it can stimulate irritation even before the procedure.
Cleaning steps
Calcium chloride is used to cleanse the face in several stages, each of which must be performed strictly according to the recommendations. Carry out the procedure in this order:
- Soak the cotton wool disc with the preparation.
- Wait until the product layer has completely dried and reapply the composition.
- Repeat the process until the contents of the ampoule are completely used.
- Lather your hands until abundant foam appears.
- Using gentle movements, without applying force, massage the skin with foam; small pellets should appear in the process.
- Continue massaging until the pellets stop appearing.
Wash, remembering that the liquid should be cool - hot or cold water can cause irritation on the cleansed dermis. The final stage of the procedure is the application of nourishing cream. Be sure to make sure that it is not too greasy - oils can clog the pores that are freed from contents.
Features of the procedure for sensitive skin - there is no need to use calcium in its pure form, it will certainly cause irritation. You can prepare a soft peeling - mix an ampoule of the drug with a chamomile-based decoction (pour 100 ml of boiling water over 30 grams of plant material, leave). Use as usual - apply to face several times, each time waiting for it to dry, then treat with soap foam.
Skin care after home peeling
After peeling, special care is needed. The skin is dehydrated and needs additional hydration. Natural oils with vitamins E and Q are suitable for it: jojoba, avocado, macadamia, grape seed oil.
It is quite possible to make a mask from chamomile infusion, about 25 milligrams, and a teaspoon of finely ground oatmeal. A third of banana pulp is added to them and applied to the face for a quarter of an hour. Rinse off the mask with warm water and lubricate the skin with moisturizer. Chamomile can be replaced with calendula, sage, mint.
It is important to ensure that after opening the ampoule no pieces of glass get on the cotton pad: wounds cannot be avoided. If your skin is very dry, highly sensitive and prone to redness and rashes, home chemical peeling is not suitable for it. Caution is also required when cleansing combination and oily skin. Before using the “home version” of Hollywood peeling, it is advisable to consult a cosmetologist.
Homemade chemical peeling for sensitive skin
For sensitive skin there is a more gentle option. A cotton pad is moistened in a solution of calcium chloride and applied to the face, quickly wash hands, whip up foam, and begin to roll over the face. If there are no pellets, then a lot of dead layers have accumulated, and they did not have time to become saturated.
After washing with cool water, you can apply a new layer of solution to the skin. Next - another massage. It is important not to forget about the area under the chin! Do this several times until pellets stop forming under your hands. Then - according to the method. It is better to prepare the mask in advance so that it can be applied immediately after washing off the solution.
The effectiveness of yellow peeling
With the help of Hollywood peeling, deeper cleansing of the skin is possible. And yellow peeling is just such a variety. It is recommended to be used to eliminate scars and hyperpigmentation. Even in old age, this procedure is effective.
But there are also disadvantages. The first is that a longer recovery period is required, about two weeks. The skin is exposed at a mid-level, and maintaining a normal lifestyle during the rehabilitation period is difficult. Secondly, you should also not be in the sun: pigmentation is possible. Therefore, it is better to carry out yellow peeling in winter or late autumn.
When deciding to undergo a Hollywood peeling, you should decide on the location: home or salon? If the choice turned out to be in favor of professionals, then you should first find out whether a medium or superficial level of cleaning is necessary and what possible side effects are possible during the procedure.
