Composition and effectiveness of peeling

The essence of fruit peeling is that the acids contained in fruits, when penetrating into the deep layers of the epidermis, burn out dead cells, improving the condition of the skin. A similar procedure refers to chemical peeling.

AHA acids, which are present in professional peeling cosmetics, are extracted synthetically during the processing of fruits and berries. You can also get them at home from fresh fruit. Weakly concentrated acids have a gentle effect on the upper layers of the epidermis. They:

• normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• neutralize free radicals;
• remove dead skin without affecting healthy cells;
• promote collagen production;
• provide normal breathing to the lower layers of the epidermis.

This kind of peeling is used to eliminate various skin problems and to clean them, as well as to prevent the appearance of age spots, blackheads, acne and other inflammatory manifestations.

After exposure of the skin to AHA acids and alpha hydroxy acids, the following positive trend is observed:

• the skin acquires an even peach color;
• the amount of acne is minimized due to good cleansing of the pores;
• pigment spots and inflamed areas left after acne are eliminated;
• metabolic processes are stabilized at the cellular level, so unpleasant oily sheen and flaking go away;
• Small facial wrinkles are smoothed out.

Important point: The composition of cosmetics for fruit peeling is selected taking into account the problems of your skin. For example, to eliminate peeling it is recommended to use malic acid. Want to whiten your skin a little? Then you will have to introduce dairy products into the mask. If you are actively fighting age-related changes, use tartaric acid, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastane.

Benefits of fruits for skin

Fruits and berries contain various acids. Here is a list of those that can benefit our dermis:

1. Apple acid, which is found in apples, pears, strawberries and tomatoes. It has a cleansing effect on the skin, removing dead skin cells. It is absolutely harmless, so it is used even for sensitive skin.
2. Lactic acid. In addition to dairy products, it is present in apples, tomatoes, blueberries and grapes. It not only cleanses, but also rejuvenates the skin.
3. Glycolic acid, extracted from sugar cane and unripe grapes. Promotes exfoliation and perfectly removes age spots. In addition, it is suitable for women who are showing the first signs of aging. Thanks to collagen activation, fine wrinkles are smoothed out and the general condition of the dermis is improved.
4. Wine acid, made from grapes and oranges. Perfectly rejuvenates and makes the skin lighter.
5. Lemon acid(lemon, orange, kiwi, grapefruit, pineapple). In symbiosis with tartaric acid, it best cleanses the upper layers of the epidermis, moisturizes the skin and fights inflammatory processes.

When preparing cosmetics for peeling at home based on fresh fruits, “abrasive” particles must be introduced to provide scrubbing. For example, it can be crushed grape seeds, coffee, semolina, White clay, crushed sea salt.

When using gooseberries, strawberries, raspberries, and apricots, you should not use “abrasive”. If your cleansing emulsions are based on orange, kiwi or pineapple, add a little white clay to the mixture.
