How to properly peel your hands?

Perhaps nothing shows the true age of a woman like her hands. Lack of proper care, sun and wind, chlorinated water and cleaning products have the most damaging effects on the skin. But this is not a reason to despair - it is possible to turn back time. To do this, you only need to carry out the peeling procedure once a week, and then very soon your hands will become soft and velvety again.

From a technical point of view, peeling is a simple skin polishing in which a layer of dead cells is exfoliated, thereby improving blood circulation and a rejuvenating effect.

The procedures can be deep, medium and superficial, and the more layers of skin are removed, the deeper the peeling is considered.

As a simple care procedure, superficial exfoliation is sufficient, but for more significant problems, such as age-related changes, burns or scars, a deep effect is necessary.

Most often, peeling is done in salons; this is one of the most demanded procedures on the cosmetic services market.

With age, a woman's body begins to change, unfortunately, not for the better. The skin becomes dry, resulting in unsightly wrinkles. In addition, many of the fair sex are faced with such an unpleasant phenomenon as age spots - these and other problems bring to the fore the task of maintaining the attractiveness of the skin on the hands. Effective salon treatments can help.

Depending on the type of exposure, there are several types of peeling:

• mechanical - in this case, the main effect is made by a cosmetologist with his own hands using special exfoliating agents;
• hardware - such care is carried out using ultrasound, laser or cryotherapy;
• chemical - involves the use of various fruit acids.

Acid peeling is based on the action of acids, which help to effectively fight the first signs of skin aging. After their application, the skin gets burned, however, the stronger this burn, the faster the regeneration of the integument will begin.

This procedure requires little preparation. 2 weeks before the session, you should stop any ultraviolet procedures, including a visit to the solarium. If contact with sunlight cannot be avoided, then it makes sense to apply a protective coating in the form of photoprotectors with a class of at least 20SPF.

It is advisable to carry out chemical peeling in winter, when the activity of the sun's rays is minimal. Typically, chemical polishing involves moderate exposure in several main stages:

• cleansing the treated area of ​​the skin and its complete disinfection;
• applying several layers of the active substance, usually trichloroacetic acid is used for this;
• moisturizing.

To achieve the desired effect, you need a course of 5-8 procedures.

For girls 25-35 years old, chemical peeling is also used, but it is usually superficial, and retinoids or glycolic acids are used as an active substance. Usually 2-3 sessions are sufficient to achieve smooth skin.

At its core, this procedure is a micro-resurfacing, while the beautician massages the problem area using an active substance, usually magnesium oxide.

Such a procedure is aimed at removing the surface layer of the skin, as a result of which blood circulation improves, the production of natural collagen is stimulated, as a result, anti-aging processes are triggered.

These procedures involve the use of ultrasound, which specifically fights wrinkles and skin pigmentation disorders.

Cryotherapy, which appeared back in the 60s of the last century, has a good effect, but it has received its development in cosmetology quite recently.

Such care involves the use of liquid nitrogen or dry ice. In the first method, the temperature drops to -190 degrees. Cold air, penetrating deep into the pores, effectively dissolves all kinds of impurities and cleanses the skin. As a result of this effect, the microcirculation of blood and lymph is accelerated, which leads to the regeneration of the skin.

The use of dry ice assumes contact with even lower temperatures - down to -700 degrees. Cosmetic cold promotes rapid rejuvenation of the hands, the result of which is smooth and velvety skin of the hands without any spots, roughness and irregularities.

Most recently, beauty salons began to offer a rather original procedure - this is a peeling with small Garra Rufa fish. These are representatives of the carp family with a length of no more than 12 cm, which are widely used in cosmetology due to the following features:

• fish can remove the keratinized layers of the skin without any mechanical damage;
• their saliva contains diethanol - this substance promotes the healing of microcracks;
• in the course of their life, the fish produce a special mucus, which has a slight moisturizing effect.

For the procedure, a woman's legs or hands are placed in a special aquarium with warm water heated to 30-35 degrees. For one session, about 250 aquatic animals are needed, and no cosmetics are used.

Not every girl can afford to visit expensive beauty salons, but this is not a reason to despair - there are many simplest, but at the same time effective peeling options that can be used without leaving home and spending a minimum of time. Optimally, if such care is carried out on a weekly basis, after the desired effect is achieved, the interval between procedures should be increased to 10 days.
