Summer has not canceled the beauty and feminine attractiveness. On the contrary, it gave us additional opportunities to take care of ourselves, although it made some adjustments to the usual care procedures. And we should know what peelings can be done in the summer? How to conduct them? For whom are these procedures safe? I will now try to answer these questions. And if there is anything left behind the scenes, be sure to add to the article in the comments! Agreed?

What is it and when should you use it with caution?

The desire to maintain youth and radiance of the skin is normal at any time of the year, both spring and summer. Moreover, we have all the necessary means for this. For example, a procedure such as exfoliation, or peeling, helps those who have various types of problems:

• Scarring;
• Pigmentation;
• Flabbiness;
• Ingrown hairs;
• Inflammatory diseases;
• Photoaging;
• Enlarged pores;
• Increased secretion of subcutaneous sebum;
• Dullness.

Many people prefer to use special face masks at home, but these are more suitable as aids for maintaining skin tone and solving a small number of problems from the list. Such cleansing masks are sold in huge quantities. The main thing is to choose the right product based on your skin type and the problem that needs to be solved. But there is also professional peeling; it is done in the salon. It would be correct to use both methods of cleansing and eliminating deficiencies.

Is it possible to exfoliate in summer? Yes. Just take a few points into account:

• Cleansing should be gentle. Superficial.
• It is necessary to use protective equipment with a protection level of SPF 50 or higher.
• 12 o'clock rule! At this time, you should not expose your skin to additional influences: no cosmetic products and you should not go outside.
• Wash with purified water, foam, gels for sensitive skin.
• Drink at least 2 liters of water per day.
• Use minimally (or better yet completely eliminate) foundations, powder, etc.
• You will have to temporarily avoid visiting bathhouses and solariums. And even postpone a trip to the sea.

If you have concerns, it is best to consult a dermatologist before getting a chemical peel. Do you sometimes find yourself with rashes, itching and redness after exfoliating? It will be useful to carefully study the composition; perhaps the mask contains an ingredient to which you are allergic. And it is best, knowing about allergies, to read the composition of the product before purchasing it.

Facial peeling in summer - skin care features

Everyone knows that in the summer the sun is at its highest activity and you shouldn’t joke with it, especially during the period of skin peeling. To ensure that summer facial peeling does not leave any side effects, it is necessary to pay special attention to both the preparation for peeling and the post-peeling period.

Cosmetologists recommend including special cosmetic creams with high biological, chemical and physical filters (index not lower than 20) into your facial skin care program ten days before peeling. Sunscreens that block the intense production of melanin by the skin (products labeled “sun block”) are also a good way to prevent the manifestation of negative consequences on the face after summer peeling.

And despite the fact that face peeling in summer

does not provide for a rehabilitation period, you should still not forget about restorative and moisturizing facial skin care, because After peeling, any type of skin is partially dried out and some peeling may be observed on the face.

In conclusion, it should be noted that a summer peeling course consists of at least 4 sessions and, depending on the condition of the skin, can reach 10 procedures. If you want to peel your face in the summer after sunbathing, then it is important to take into account that the skin should be in an absolutely calm state and all active processes caused by sun exposure should be completed (approximately this happens on day 10-14).

What peelings are there?

There are two main directions for removing dead skin cells:

• Chemical. Exposure to any compounds. Most often this is fruit peeling. An excellent solution for young skin and solves the problems of aging skin. Fights all types of rashes, avoids microtraumas, stimulates the production of elastane and collagen, and tightens pores. Suitable for different ages and skin types.
• Mechanical. Polishing the face with scrubs containing solid particles.

Due to the fact that there are different cleaning methods, you can choose an individual peeling for everyone. I'll tell you about some ways.

Almond

Of all the types, this one is considered the simplest and safest.

Its action: tightens pores, evens out tone, removes small wrinkles, relieves inflammation. It is suitable for preparing for more complex types of exfoliation. Such as laser or chemical.

Advantage: suitable for all skin types and colors: dark, light, hypersensitive; has a minimal rehabilitation period.

Gas-liquid

Exposure of the skin to chilled saline solution and oxygen; vitamins are often added to the solution.

Action: removes scars, gets rid of superficial wrinkles, tightens pores, evens out facial tone, fights acne.

Advantage: not only cleanses, but also vitaminizes the skin, great for any time of year, including summer.

Carbon

This is laser cleaning using nanogel (oxygen amplifier)

Action: removes pigmentation, smoothes wrinkles, removes inflammation, evens out and refreshes complexion, tightens pores.

Advantage: tangible results after the first procedure, no recovery period, no redness, no discomfort.

Mesopeeling

Glycolic acid is injected under the skin.

Action: metabolic processes improve, skin quickly regenerates, copes with wrinkles, helps with inflammation.

Advantage: no superficial irritation, no rash, no redness, no peeling. This means there is no recovery period. And the result is visible immediately. But needles confuse me))) What about you?

Lactic

I would call this method stress-free. The skin is easily cleansed and at the same time softened.

Action: eliminates fine wrinkles, gives elasticity to the skin, refreshes tone, eliminates pigmentation, grayness and dullness, eliminates dryness, improves blood circulation.

Advantage: short recovery period, can be done at home, suitable for all skin types.

You can make some fruit peelers yourself. But it's better to trust the professionals

Acid peels in summer - are they really safe?

The fact that acid peels should not be done in the summer is written on almost every corner. This is due to the fact that most of them have a deep exfoliating effect, due to which the skin loses its natural protection and easily burns in the sun. There is also an increased risk of collagen damage, wrinkles and unsightly age spots.

However, this does not mean that you should give up all acid peels in the summer. There are many safe substances that gently exfoliate the skin and do not have a photosensitizing effect. Moreover, they prevent the accumulation of color pigments in the skin, thereby minimizing the risk of color deterioration. Other benefits of using acids in summer include smoothing, hydration and deep nourishment of the skin.

What acids can be used for peeling in summer?

Before choosing a suitable acid preparation, the cosmetologist will conduct an examination and carefully assess the condition of the patient’s skin. It is very important that the procedure is performed by a professional - an incompetently chosen acid can do more harm than good.

Preparations most often used for peeling in summer:

• Mandelic acid. It acts gently, has an exfoliating, anti-aging and bactericidal effect. Peeling with mandelic acid reduces acne, inflammation, smoothes wrinkles and evens out color. This acid stimulates cells to repair the skin. The peeling effect is light and irritation is mild.
• Azelaic acid. It has anti-inflammatory, antiseborrheic, antibacterial and antihyperpigmentation effects. Peeling with azelaic acid is gentle and has no side effects. Ideal for dehydrated, vascular, sensitive and acne skin.
• Ferulic acid. This acid protects cells from free radicals, which accelerate skin aging. In addition, it minimizes damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and protects the skin from forming new ones. Works on the surface and does not cause severe irritation.
• Lactic acid. Especially recommended for patients with dry and very sensitive skin. It has a strong moisturizing effect, attracting water molecules and holding them in the epidermis. The effect of peeling with lactic acid is even more subtle than the effect of mandelic acid.

You can get professional acid peeling from a good cosmetologist in St. Petersburg at the Center for Aesthetic Medicine.

What happens to the skin after peeling?

During peeling treatment, the upper layer of the epidermis is damaged. The renewed skin is so sensitive that any external influence on it is fraught with dermatological problems. During the period of regeneration of the epidermis, subject to mechanical or chemical cleansing, it should be protected from:

• Ultraviolet rays;
• Wind;
• Frost;
• Various types of pollution.

Among the above factors, ultraviolet radiation is especially dangerous, since under its influence the formation of pigmented areas occurs, which are subsequently quite difficult to get rid of. Therefore, until the skin’s protective reaction is restored after peeling treatment, you should completely avoid exposure to the sun or visiting a solarium.

The time for which sunbathing should be limited depends on the individual recovery of the skin and the aggressiveness of the procedure performed. In addition to pigmentation, unrestored epidermis exposed to sunlight is at risk of photoaging - intense drying of the skin to the state of “parchment paper”, the appearance of a wrinkled network.

IMPORTANT! Photoaging has no age limits. Even at 20 years old, you can get a lot of wrinkles if you don’t follow the rules of post-peeling care.

In order for the skin to remain beautiful at any time of the year, it needs updating from time to time. The basic rule is that peeling in summer should take place only at the level of the stratum corneum without damaging the dermis.

Scrubs exfoliate dead skin particles, smooth the surface, have a light massage effect and improve blood circulation.

The most important danger in peeling in summer is the appearance of age spots. Ultraviolet radiation in summer is more aggressive than in other periods.

The skin cells responsible for the production of pigment, melanocytes, are not located on the surface itself, but are located deeper, in the lowest layer of the epidermis, closer to the dermis. Therefore, those peels that will reach those layers of the skin where melanocytes live will be the most undesirable to choose for the summer,” says cosmetologist Marina Drozdova.

She advises doing ultrasonic, gas-liquid, enzymatic or chemical peeling in the summer.

Ultrasonic peeling will push out surface impurities and toxins and rid the skin of accumulated sebum.

Gas-liquid peeling will remove the surface layer of the skin without injuring it and without causing hyperpigmentation.

Enzymatic peeling is gentle. Enzymes can remove toxins, fight pollution and waste products, and improve blood circulation.

Chemical peels can be used in summer. What is important here is what acid the peeling will be based on, its percentage or, if combined peeling is used, then the total percentage of acids and PH composition.

Peels based on lactic or mandelic acids can be successfully used both in winter and summer. Gel-based peeling serums, which contain several fruit acids, such as malic, citric, lactic and tartaric, are often used at the deep cleansing stage of skincare procedures in the summer. Chemical peels based on gluconolactone and ferulic acid have now become very popular. But, still, no matter how easy and safe the chemical peels used, they should be selected and prescribed by a specialist after proper examination,” the cosmetologist told the Kiz website.
