To preserve the beauty and youthfulness of the skin as long as possible, an incredibly large number of effective procedures have been developed. One of them is calcium chloride face peeling, also called roll-up peeling. This procedure allows you to quickly deal with many skin imperfections, make it more well-groomed and youthful. If you follow the procedure according to all the rules, the result will certainly exceed all your expectations.
Operating principle
Chloride peeling refers to chemical treatments for the surface layers of the skin, which must be done in the beautician's office. But if you study all the subtleties of the procedure, any girl can completely cope with such a procedure on her own at home. In this case, the result will be no worse than a salon one, and the cost of peeling will be minimal. Natural soap and calcium chloride are used for peeling. When these two components interact, they form tricabonic salts, due to which the so-called rolling effect appears. This procedure is ideal for those with oily and combination skin.
After peeling, you can expect the following results:
- exfoliation of the stratum corneum of the epidermis;
- deep cleansing of the sebaceous glands;
- lightening age spots;
- a noticeable reduction in inflammation and blackheads;
- narrowing of pores, etc.
The result from a home procedure is almost the same as from a salon.After the first application of the exfoliation, your skin will be visibly fresher, softer, smoother and more matte.
Contraindications
Despite all the advantages of the procedure, it has certain disadvantages. In particular, calcium chloride peels can dry out the skin severely. Therefore, if you already have dry and very sensitive skin, it is better to look for an alternative way of caring for it. It is also important that after such a procedure, noticeable redness will appear on the tissues. Therefore, it is better to peel at night, and certainly not plan it before an important event. And do not forget that after carrying out any chemical peeling, it is imperative to limit, and it is better to completely exclude exposure to the sun and a visit to the solarium. This will prevent ugly age spots from appearing on your face.
Also, chloride peeling should not be done if your face contains:
- purulent inflammation and ulcers;
- chemical burns;
- fungus;
- rosacea;
- fresh wounds and abrasions.
Do not roll up immediately after tanning (natural or in a solarium), during pregnancy and lactation, if you feel unwell and have a high body temperature. And also be sure to do a test for individual intolerance to calcium chloride. If you want to get rid of acne with the help of chemical peeling, then remember that in no case should you carry out the procedure during an exacerbation. So you will only aggravate the situation and provoke the occurrence of even more rashes.
If possible, make an appointment with a dermatologist to find out exactly if this type of cosmetic procedure is right for you. Choose an experienced professional. If these recommendations are not followed, dermatitis, burns, pigmentation and even scars may appear on the skin.
Be careful and careful, and then you will get only benefit from the skating, not time
Preparation
For a chemical peel with calcium chloride to show its maximum effectiveness, the skin must be carefully prepared. This step should not be neglected if you really want to achieve a good result. To begin with, how to cleanse the skin of all cosmetics, it is better to use a hydrophilic oil for this. Then wash your face with plenty of warm water using a foam or gel that suits your skin type. Next, pat your face dry with a paper towel. It is imperative that the skin is completely dry prior to the application of calcium chloride. The presence of moisture on fabrics is unacceptable. After that, you can proceed directly to the peeling.
Stages of the procedure
To perform rolling, you need only 2 simple products: fragrance-free baby soap, and an ampoule of 5% or 10% calcium chloride. Ordinary cotton pads will also come in handy. You can do this cleaning in several ways. We offer you 2 of the most effective options:
For newbies
If you are doing chloride peeling for the first time, follow the procedure in the following sequence:
- Soak a cotton ball in calcium chloride liquid and distribute it evenly over your face. After the substance is completely absorbed into the skin, it is necessary to exactly repeat the previous step. Wipe your face as many times as the amount of solution in the ampoule allows.
- Now take a simple soap and lather it well in the palms of your hands to create a large amount of lather. Then apply it to your face, spreading along the massage lines.
- Treat the entire surface of your face with gentle movements. If you feel the need to reapply the lather, be sure to add it. Make sure that your hand movements are smooth and soft, do not press hard on the skin or stretch it.
- When the rolling process no longer occurs, wash off the composition from the face using plenty of water. Pat dry your face with a paper towel.
At the end of the exfoliation, it is recommended to apply a moisturizing or nourishing mask to the face so that the skin heals faster after chemical exposure. You can also use the popular alginate masks today. After them, you need to apply a very small amount of your usual cream on the face.
For experienced
If you have already done a calcium chloride peel and you know for sure that your skin reacts positively to such a procedure, we recommend that you try a faster and easier way to perform rolling:
- apply 1 layer of thick lather to previously cleansed skin;
- soak your hands in a calcium chloride solution;
- perform soft and light movements along the massage lines of the face until lumps appear;
- massage your skin for a few minutes;
- rinse off the remnants of the product thoroughly;
- dry your skin;
- apply mask and / or cream.
This method is even more delicate, which means it is suitable for people with sensitive skin. This is due to the fact that the fabrics are protected from direct chemical attack by a layer of soapy foam. Therefore, it is definitely not worth waiting for a burn. Moreover, the effect of such a procedure is no less good. But even if you have normal skin that is not prone to allergies and rashes, experts recommend starting the procedure with a 5% calcium chloride solution.
And only then, after analyzing the results and the reaction of the skin, go to a more concentrated, 10% solution.
Follow-up care
The main distinguishing feature of chemical peeling in comparison with other care procedures is its long-lasting active effect. Do not think that peeling acts only when it is directly applied to the skin. Exfoliation, cell renewal and regeneration will continue for at least another 3-4 weeks. Therefore, during this period it is necessary to take special care of the skin.
Here's what to do after cleaning:
- Protect your skin from sun damage. Avoid visiting tanning salons and sunbathing. It is better not to peel if you are going to sunbathe at sea in a couple of days.
- Do not go to the baths, saunas and gym.
- Do not perform mechanical cleaning of your face.
- Limit the amount of makeup as much as possible.
After peeling, the skin will peel off, so you need to take care of its proper nutrition and hydration. To do this, it is necessary to apply masks not only after each rolling procedure, but also during the entire recovery period. You can use proven products that you have already used before and you know for sure that they will not cause a negative skin reaction. It is important to choose only hypoallergenic natural formulations. We offer you several recipes of proven masks that will become your helpers in the struggle for perfect skin and will enhance the effect after chemical peeling:
Oatmeal with chamomile
To prepare such a cosmetic product, you will need the simplest components: some oatmeal and the pulp of absolutely any fresh fruit, pharmacy chamomile in bags. You can replace them with fresh, but not frozen berries. Puree the fruit with a food processor, or simply finely grate the fruit. Then, combine the resulting puree in a small bowl with a little oatmeal. Pour boiling water over dry chamomile flowers, wait until brewing and pour the resulting broth into the blessed-fruit puree. Cool the mass a little and apply on face in an even layer for about 20 minutes.
After this time, carefully remove the remnants of the mask, wipe the face with toner and apply the cream that you usually use for daily moisturizing.
Clay anti-inflammatory
Clay masks have been famous for their miraculous properties since ancient times.Mix some cosmetic clay of any color with the pulp of a ripe banana, then add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to these foods. This oil is the leader among products that relieve redness and inflammation. Apply the resulting composition to your face and rinse it off after it is completely dry. It is better to use not ordinary water for washing, but a herbal decoction of chamomile or string. Also, do not forget to always moisturize your face, because clay can tighten the skin.
Whitening soothing
This is another version of an effective mask with the addition of chamomile, which will help the epidermis to recover much faster after chemical exposure. Half a glass of cooled herbal decoction must be combined with 1 small spoonful of oatmeal, 1/3 banana pulp and a drop of peppermint or calendula oil. Mix all the ingredients well and apply the mask on the face for 10-15 minutes, but not longer.
Drying
This mask effectively fights inflammatory processes in the tissues. However, it is recommended to use it only for owners of oily and combination skin. Mash half a banana, add a few drops of sage essential oil, a couple of drops of tea tree oil, and a pinch of any baby powder. Keep the resulting mixture on the skin for 15 minutes.
Moisturizing and brightening
This is another very effective mask that will help to significantly increase the result of the chemical rolling peeling. It has an antioxidant and pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, perfectly soothes the skin, fights against age spots. Its main component is phytic acid. You can get such a substance from any soy product, for example, baby soy formula. For 2 tablespoons of the mixture, you will need one spoonful of clean water. Mix the components and apply them all over the face, but keep it for no more than 10-15 minutes to prevent a negative reaction of the epidermis.
Restorative
Chemical peeling is a rather radical and aggressive procedure that forces skin cells to renew themselves much faster than they naturally do. Therefore, it is necessary to restore the necessary presence of coenzymes and other essential components in the cells of the epidermis. For this, special concentrated emulsions are suitable, which are sold in pharmacies. One of these drugs is alpha-tocopherol. This is an affordable budget drug, the use of which will have a positive effect on the condition of the skin.
Also, cosmetologists recommend using natural cosmetic oils to nourish the skin during the recovery period after cleansing. For example, grape seed oil, avocado, macadamia, jojoba and others. They can be used both in pure form and as auxiliary components in the formulations of creams, masks and serums. The use of oils is necessary not only during the rehabilitation period, but also with regular care to maintain the beauty and health of the epidermis.
The number of treatments required to achieve an optimal result directly depends on the condition of your skin. If you have normal skin that is not prone to acne, then you will need to go through a minimum course of skating. If you want to use peeling to cope with inflammatory processes on the skin or to eliminate the consequences of anka (scars, scars, stagnant spots), then the treatment will be more complex and long-lasting. On average, a course of chemical rolls consists of 1 procedure, which must be repeated no more often than once every 7 days. After 3 such weeks, you must take a break for at least 2 months. Then you can start cleaning again.
For sensitive thin skin without any problems, the course will be 1 procedure in 30 days.
In this case, the processing will be carried out only with a 5% solution.
Recommendations
- You should not carry out deep dry cleaning if there is at least one open wound on the skin. Otherwise, you risk getting a burn, as well as introducing an infection into the layers of already damaged skin.
- If you are the owner of combination skin, then cosmetologists advise to apply a concentrated solution of calcium chloride only on the forehead, nose and chin. The cheeks may not be treated at all or a minimum of the active substance may be applied to them.
- To make sure that this type of chemical peel is right for you, apply a small amount of soap solution and liquid calcium chloride to a small area of your hand. Roll up according to all the rules and rinse off the solution. Observe the reaction of the skin for several hours, and preferably days. If everything is in order, then you can safely start applying the product to the whole face.
- In order not to damage the delicate skin around the eyes and lips during the cleaning process, you must first lubricate the sensitive areas with a greasy cream and in no case apply the product to them.
- If during the procedure you feel a strong burning sensation, do not try to immediately wash off the active substance with water. First, remove as much of the product as possible with a dry tissue or paper towel. Then additionally cleanse the skin using soap foam.
- Exfoliate overnight, or rather postpone it for a weekend or vacation. This way you don't have to put on makeup the day after rolling or worry about your appearance. In addition, you will avoid introducing infections and bacteria from the environment under your skin.
- Change your pillowcases regularly to prevent infection from entering the epidermis.
- Limit your exposure to the sun as much as possible. If you still have to go outside, be sure to apply a good sunscreen with SPF 30, or better 50, all over your face. By the way, cosmetologists strongly recommend protecting your skin from the sun, not only during the recovery period after cleansing, but every day. This will prevent photoaging of cells.
- Use only good baby soap or natural soap with a neutral composition for peeling. If the soap contains SLS and parabens, you will not get the proper roll-off effect. It is also not recommended to use laundry soap, since it contains a large amount of alkali. And this will dry the skin even more.
- If you want to get not only a cleansing, but also a firming effect from a calcium chloride peel, then wait about 15 minutes before applying the final moisturizing mask after rolling. You will see, the result will not be long in coming!
