In a more superficial way with exfoliation or in a deeper way with a peeling you will be able to eliminate dead cells and renew the most superficial layers of the epidermis. You will get a smoother and more uniform skin. Exfoliation is also an important step in proper facial hygiene. You can exfoliate your skin daily, even if you have sensitive skin, there are specific products that allow you to cleanse your skin without damaging it. If you have skin blemishes, open pores or photo-aged skin, a good option is to have a medical peel. It is a simple treatment that consists of renewing the most superficial layers of the skin, leaving it more luminous, uniform and smooth. It restores the skin’s homogeneous color, helps to tighten pores, and prevents the appearance of wrinkles by stimulating the formation of new collagen in the dermis. Additionally, various scientific studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of medical peels in preventing skin cancer, thus promoting the health of our skin. To perform a peeling, different chemical substances can be used at different concentrations depending on the type of skin, the area of the body or the needs of each patient. The most common are salicylic acid, glycolic acidand retinols. Several substances can also be combined in the same product in a way that increases the effectiveness of the peel while greatly improving its tolerance and recovery. In the following days the skin will peel slightly, replacing the most superficial layers of the skin with new ones. In most cases, the patient can apply makeup immediately after the treatment and continue with their usual routine. The most important thing is to avoid sun exposure during the weeks following a chemical peel, especially in the first few days. The weeks following a chemical peel are an ideal time to use specific treatments according to each person’s needs, as the stratum corneum is thinner and the epidermis more receptive. It is recommended to use cosmetics with depigmenting active ingredients in case of spots, vitamin C for dull skin, or glycolic acid for photoaging. Both TUDERMA Illuminating Serum and TUDERMA Intensive Regenerating Serum are especially recommended as a post-treatment after a medical peeling. Autumn and winter are very favorable times to have a peeling since we are less exposed to sunlight. In any case, if you decide to have a medical peel, we recommend that you apply facial sunscreen daily throughout the year.
