At Home Chemical Peel - AHA Peel
At home Chemical peel derived from the acids from fruits, milk, and sugar are just as effect as those peel off face mask peels and much safer to do at home.
An alpha beta daily face peel usually contains natural fruit acids like alpha hydroxy acid(AHA) or beta hydroxy acid (BHA).
A BHA or AHA peel is excellent for dissolving dead skin cells and unclogging pores. These natural chemical peeling agents offer a number of benefits to aging skin such as: - reducing enlarged pores
- eliminating fine lines
- exfoliating dead skin cells
In addition, AHA Peels can also:- increase collage production
- increase moisture binding properties
- help dissolve and remove stretch marks and other skin lesions
In addition, these natural at home chemical peels help enhance the absorption of moisturizers and enhance the benefits of anti-wrinkle creams like copper peptides. Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA) are the most common Hydroxy Acids. What's The Difference Between Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid? Glycolic acid is naturally made from pure sugar cane. It's gentle yet still helps slough off dead skin cells. I Love the way my skin looks after applying hydroxy acids!! My skin is exfoliated - like a mild peel - yet not overly dry.
Salicylic acid on the other hand, is oil soluble chemical peel agent and is very helpful in reducing enlarged pores, blackheads and whiteheads. It really tightens up your skin.
However, it's very important that your home chemical peel contains the proper ratio blend of acids and it should be pH balanced so as not to damage the skin.
Your Home Face Peel Regimen
Your at home chemical peel should include glycolic/salicylic acid - at least once a week if your over 30 years of age. And at a minimum of twice a week if your over 40.
The older you are the more help your skin needs in shedding those dull, dead cells....the more you need to use fruit based home chemical peels. This is why 40 and 50 year old complexion tends to look dull. But you can change that very quickly and easily. - On freshly cleansed face, take a cotton ball or gauze pad and apply a pH balanced micro peel serum
- Then lightly "buff" the skin with the with the AHA/BHA complex. Make sure to get the whole face and neck and leave on for a few minutes.
- Then rinse well and apply a good hydrating
moisturizer.
If you have oily skin you should still apply a moisturizer, but consider using an oil free,
oil controlling moisturizer
so you are still able to hydrate the skin without excess oil production.
