AHA peeling

Before the first rays of sun arrives in early spring, you can still take advantage of the exfoliating, skin rejuvenating, and anti-wrinkle effects of AHA acids. That’s why the beautician team from Solanie has put together the skin care routine you need to have your beauty in the best hands.

Skin rejuvenating at home

1. Cleansing: remove dead skin cells and dirt from your skin

Regular cleansing of the facial skin is the basis of effective skin care, as the impurities that accumulate during the day, mixed with the sebum on the surface of the skin, provide an ideal environment for the growth of various bacteria and inhibit the application and use of cosmetics applied to the skin. Thoroughly remove dirt and make-up residue from your skin with face and make-up remover. 

2. Tonifying: restore your skin to its ideal pH 5.5

As a second step, after each facial cleansing, tonify the skin with a cotton pad, omitting the eye area. The tonic restores the skin's natural pH value and prepares your facial skin to absorb and utilize the active ingredients that come later. 

3. Peeling: exfoliate to allow your skin to breathe

Exfoliation can be achieved by mechanical or chemical means. Mechanical peels include classic scrubs. Chemical exfoliants can be various acid peels or enzymes, gently help to remove dead skin cells, strengthen the skin's support structure, reduce wrinkles, fade pigment spots, make acne disappear, and make skin healthier, fresher and more radiant.

4. Serum: enhance the elasticity and immunity of your skin with a serum

Serums are high active ingredient’s cocktails. Due to their small molecular size, which ensure intensive hydration, reach the deeper layers of the skin and have a good effect when applied there. Serum can be used in the evening and morning, but this is highly dependent on the active ingredients they contain. Vitamin C is best in the morning, while AHA and anti-age ingredients are better in the evening. They can be water and oil-based. It is important to choose one based on your skin type.

5. Day cream: as a finishing step use a day cream that suits your skin the best

The final step in skin care is to use a cream that is appropriate for the time of day and skin type. There are several aspects to consider when choosing a facial cream. The condition of our skin, what is the purpose, hydration or wrinkle removal? In the summer, lighter, water-based creams are needed for the skin, while in winter, it is a fuller, oilier one. Do not forget about sun protection, and it doesn’t matter if it is summer or winter.

You can perform the above skin care routine steps once a week until the stronger sunlight arrives. Don’t miss the right time to make AHA peel treatment because just like your soul, your skin needs refreshment.
