• Chemical peeling: Certain acids are used to break the bonds between dead skin cells and remove them.
• Mechanical exfoliation: Special tools such as an exfoliation brush or dermabrasion device are used to remove dead skin cells.
• Enzyme peeling: Natural enzymes are used to break down the keratin proteins that bind dead skin cells.
What are the benefits of exfoliation?
• Deeply cleanse the skin: Exfoliation removes dirt, oil and blackheads from the skin, leaving it looking cleaner and healthier.
• Improving the appearance of the skin: Exfoliation helps improve the appearance of the skin, unify its tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Stimulating collagen production: Exfoliation helps stimulate collagen production, giving the skin a more youthful and radiant appearance.
