In addition, a layer of keratinized scales prevents penetration nutrients into the layers of the skin, clogs pores and ducts sebaceous glands, destroys the protective water-lipid barrier and accelerates the aging process.
Homemade facial cleansing with scrubs with abrasive particles (mechanical peeling) and fruit acids (fruit peeling) helps solve this problem. Very effective are coffee scrubs for oily or combination skin, oatmeal scrubs with a moisturizing, nourishing effect for dry or aging skin, as well as sea salt or sugar scrubs, soft exfoliating gommage products for thin and problematic facial skin.
But it is useful to alternate the use of scrubs with abrasive particles with home peeling to give the skin a break from mechanical stress and avoid thinning of the epidermis. The use of fruit acids (alphahydroxy acids, AHA acids) refers to chemical peeling, through which the layers of the epidermis are exposed to active substances. As a result, the connection between the layer of keratinized particles and young cells weakens so much that dead cells begin to peel off easily. For peeling with fruit acids, you can use products prepared at home from natural products according to the recipes (which you will find below). You will definitely be able to choose a recipe for fruit peeling that suits your skin type, since for home cleaning A variety of AHA acids are used on the face.
