Milky peeling - cleansing the skin with lactic acid

Milky peeling is a novelty in the world of beauty that is gaining popularity, because besides the visible effect after the first procedure, it also differs in its careful attitude to the skin. But despite the delicate effect, it is one of the most effective cosmetic procedures.

The secret of milk peeling

As the name suggests, this procedure is based on the use of products made from lactic acid, which automatically classifies it as chemical. At the same time, lactic acid peeling is one of the most benign ways of dealing with skin imperfections, since it affects only its upper layers. Due to its superficial effect, it can be used by owners of sensitive, capricious or allergic-prone skin.

Milky face peeling can be done not only by specialists in the salon, but also at home. To do this, you only need to purchase a special tool for home use, the concentration of acid in which allows you to carry out the procedure yourself, minimizing the risk of burns.

The procedure owes its effectiveness to lactic acid, which is capable of not aggressively destroying and exfoliating dead cells. As a result, increased production of collagen and elastin in the deep layers of the epidermis, and the skin becomes elastic, radiant and supple.

Milky face peeling will help to correct small wrinkles, lighten age spots, narrow pores and cope with acne. In addition, this procedure is often used to prepare the skin for serious effects.

Who is suitable and contraindicated milk peeling

As mentioned earlier, the effect of lactic acid on the skin is superficial, which means that it will not be able to fundamentally cope with such troubles as deep wrinkles, scars, severe pigmentation. That is why facial peeling with lactic acid should be chosen by those who wish to overcome the following imperfections:

• dull, sallow complexion;
• loss of elasticity;
• skin dehydration;
• acne;
• small wrinkles;
• unexpressed pigmentation.

The procedure will give the greatest effect to the owners of young skin, young ladies who are under 40 years old. After this age and with pronounced age-related changes on the face and neck (deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc.), milk peeling can be used as a supplement to the care, but not as the main means of rejuvenation and skin correction.

Despite the wide possibilities to use, peeling with lactic acid should not be carried out in the following cases:

• various skin diseases: dermatitis, eczema, herpes;
• lactation;
• pregnancy;
• oncology;
• diabetes;
• violations of the integrity of the skin: scratches, wounds;
• recent tan

Beauty Studio at your home

Milk peeling will appeal to those who, for whatever reason, cannot visit a beauty salon, since it can be safely carried out on its own using special “non-professional” compositions that are commercially available.

The level of concentration of lactic acid in such preparations allows to achieve an excellent result without the risk of burning the skin of the face. When buying, you need to pay attention to whether the instruction is attached to the tool, in which the scheme and rules for using the drug are explained step by step.

Home peeling with lactic acid will not give the same quick and obvious result as salon, so you will have to show a little patience: a lasting and noticeable effect will manifest itself after 2-4 procedures. However, even after the first application you will see changes for the better.

Rules and frequency of the procedure

Milk peeling can be performed as 1-3 times a year, and the course, doing 4-6 procedures with a difference of 10-14 days between them. Of course, the latter option is preferable, because the effect of such a directed effect on the skin will be much higher.

The process itself consists of a series of successive stages:

1. Cleansing the skin with a foam or gel cleanser and its subsequent treatment with tonic.
2. Applying a peeling agent. Many cosmetologists prudently put on the skin a small layer of less concentrated means to make sure that the client does not have individual negative reactions to the components of the preparation. This rule can be used by doing lactic acid peeling at home. The exposure time means in the cabin is 2-15 minutes. It depends on the condition of the skin and the concentration of the acid. Preparations for home use require much less time, usually 1-2 minutes.
3. At the end of the exposure time, it is necessary to wash the product with cool water, without any additional funds.
4. After the product has been washed off, you should apply a moisturizing or soothing serum or cream to the skin.

During the course and within 12–14 days after milk peeling, you need to:

• avoid sunlight (and, therefore, it is more convenient to hold it in autumn and winter);
• use sunscreen even on cloudy days.

Make yourself a safe milk peeling at home is not difficult. The main thing is to follow the instructions to the drug step by step and follow all the recommendations.

Milk Peeling Results

The effect of the procedure, whether it is milk peeling at home or with professionals in the salon, will be noticeable from the first time, which is confirmed by numerous reviews and photos before and after the session. At the same time, you will not find any side effects in the form of redness, itching, swelling or peeling, due to which there is no need to take a break from work in order to take care of yourself.

The reflection in the mirror will please you with an even complexion, radiant and elastic skin, bleached freckles and clean pores.

Risks and complications

Although this procedure is distinguished by its mild action, there is a risk of complications if the product is used incorrectly or if the recommendations regarding skin care are not followed before and after exposure. To keep them to a minimum, before you do a milk peeling, you need to make sure of the following:

• Shelf life means for peeling has not expired.
• There is no allergy to the components of the drug.
• The skin is not exposed (and will not be exposed in the future) to ultraviolet radiation.

Peeling cost

Both salon and home peeling with lactic acid collect well-deserved positive reviews. On average, the price for this service in the beauty salons "floats" in the range from 500 to 3000 rubles per procedure. It depends on the level and location of the salon, as well as on the brand whose drug is used for conducting sessions.

Carrying out this procedure at home is much cheaper. The cost of a jar of funds varies on average from 250 to 1,200 rubles, the price depends on its volume and manufacturer. Given that 100–120 ml of the drug will be enough to carry out 7–10 procedures, home milk peeling can be a good alternative to the salon procedure.
