Review of professional biological skin peeling at home according to expert standards

Biological skin peeling is also known as biological skin replacement. This is a commonly used method in cosmetology that helps speed up the skin turnover process by quickly removing dead cells. Previously, these methods were often performed at beauty salons and spas at quite high prices. But now we can completely do skin peeling at home. However, the skin peeling process still has many risks, you need to clearly understand the following notes before performing skin peeling at home!

The effectiveness of biological peeling

Normally, in the skin cleaning process at home, we often only use the deepest cleaning step, which is exfoliation. However, exfoliation only helps you remove the dead skin cells at the top layer of the skin's epidermis. As for biological skin replacement products with high concentration acid ingredients (about 2%), the product will be more effective. Skin peels deeply affect the entire epidermal layer of the skin. Thanks to that, they help remove dead skin cells in areas that conventional exfoliating products cannot affect. Thanks to that, the effectiveness of peeling products on the skin is also easier to see.

The effects of peeling on the skin are undeniable. Although the acid concentration in skin peeling products is not too high. But the risks encountered by performing skin peels at home are a situation many people encounter. Among them, burns due to biological skin peeling are the most common problem. Therefore, before performing skin peeling at home, you need to clearly understand the following notes.

Before performing skin peeling

Before performing a skin peel, you should stop using strong active ingredients such as: Retinol, vitamin C, BHA... at least 2-3 days before performing the peel. At the same time, skin condition needs to be stable: No irritation, no open wounds. In case you have very sensitive skin, you should seek advice from an expert before deciding to perform biological peeling at home.

Choosing a biological peel product

On the market today there are many brands providing skin peeling products. So which skin peeling products should we choose? 

• Choose skin peeling products from major brands and are guaranteed for safety and quality by leading dermatologists.
• Buy genuine products or from official distributors. Avoid choosing stores that sell hand-carried goods of unknown origin.
• Refer to the experiences of people who have experienced the product on shopping sites, blogs, etc. at home and abroad.
• Start with low-level peeling products so your skin can gradually get used to it. This also avoids possible skin irritation.

Perform skin peeling

To avoid possible irritation or allergies to ingredients in skin peeling products. Testing the product on your skin before using is something you should apply. Use a small amount of product and apply to a spot on the inner arm area for 24-48 hours. From there, it's easy to check the skin reaction!

During the process of performing biological skin peeling, following the time and instructions from the manufacturer is mandatory. When we first start performing skin peels, we will not have much experience. Therefore, following the manufacturer's recommendations will help you minimize risks.

After skin peeling

• Use only gentle cleaning products.
• Focus on restoring and hydrating the skin.
