Skin peels or
peelings are
exfoliants, but usually they are called peels and not
masks, because they penetrate deeper than a regular
exfoliant. During professional and home
versions of peelings many substances can be used to peel
your skin so it can renew itself. The new
skin is more beautiful, uniform, and depending on the
peeling, it can
boost
collagen-making, and make the skin healthier and
younger.
When are peelings used?

can benefit from peels. Doctors use them to
treat scars,
dark spots or
hyperpigmentation, uneven tone,
acne, expression lines, to
diminish wrinkles, make pores look smaller, revitalize
the skin, eliminate dullness, and
rejuvenate the skin.

are permanent, such as
lightening of dark spots and scars, while some results
are temporary. Some of the longer lasting results are pore
size reduction, and fewer expression lines,
wrinkles,
acne, etc. The duration the results last depends on
the type of peel used – the deeper the peel,
longer-lasting the results.

experienced and knowledgeable the professional should be.
