There are many ways to remove dead skin. One of the most useful methods is to use peels that are appropriate for your skin type. Chemical peels, facial cleansers, foam cleansers, cleansers, scrubs, and various serums can all remove dead skin from the surface, but peels are the most effective.
What is Dead Skin?
Our skin is made up of multiple layers of keratinized cells, which are produced in different layers of our skin and then undergo shape and structural changes as they migrate to the surface. When they reach the surface, they become anucleated, flatten and die, but new cells are always produced to replace them. The human body usually loses between 30,000 and 40,000 epithelial cells per day. The exfoliation process does not always go flawlessly, and if this process does not proceed properly, dead skin can accumulate and cause dull, scaly exfoliation, clogged pores, lack of water, and keratin buildup.
What are the symptoms of callused skin?
The topmost layer, within the epidermis, is the stratum corneum, which consists of the dead skin cells mentioned above.
Symptoms:
Dry; flaky skin
Itchy,
Thick; rough skin,
Dehydrated, or even fat-deficient
Blackheads, clogged pores, acne, milia are common
How does it develop?
Our skin consists of 3 main layers: the hypodermis, the dermis, and the epidermis. The latter is the topmost layer, where cells are produced. The epidermis is made up of different layers, where cells undergo many changes. If any process is disrupted, it can easily lead to incorrect cell division, or they are shed too soon or too late, or even nucleated cells reach the skin surface.
Can it be harmful to our skin?
Accumulated cells can clog pores, thicken the epidermis, inhibit skin respiration, and cause inflammation and blackheads to develop more easily. Bacteria can also multiply more easily, which leads to the development of acne-prone, inflamed skin.
How can dead skin formation be prevented?
Removing dead skin cells from your skin is essential for clear and glowing skin. Here are some things you should do to get rid of dead skin cells from your skin:
1: Determining your skin type is important to know your skin's deficiencies and needs. It also affects your product selection. Therefore, you must first determine your skin type.
2: Your skin care routine should include products that are appropriate for your skin type and that remove dead skin from the surface of your skin.
3: Include a peel, mask, facial cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and serum in your routine.
4: Using a pore-tightening facial wash gel simultaneously removes dead skin cells from the skin and opens pores.
These skin care products should be applied to clean and healthy skin. If there are open wounds, infections on the skin, or if we are dealing with sensitive skin prone to atopy, the skin should be cared for with suitable products and methods.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels are designed to remove dead skin cells quickly and effectively. There are products that only remove dead skin cells, and there are those that also remove healthy skin. They are effective in fighting signs of aging, are effective for pigment spots, acne scars, but are also perfect if you want smooth, beautiful, radiant skin. There are several types of chemical peels:
1: AHA: Alpha Hydroxy Acid: These exfoliating acids target the problems mentioned above. They have a photosensitizing effect, so the use of sun protection is mandatory, which is why their use is recommended in an evening routine.
2: BHA: beta-hydroxy acid: These acids penetrate the pores and exfoliate, fighting blackheads and clearing them, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin. These acids are not photosensitizing, so they can be used at any time of day!
When using both acids, the skin needs to get used to them, it needs to be built up, as they can cause irritation! They help the skin's self-regeneration process, improve skin breathing. Maruderm's exfoliating serums make the skin radiant and effectively remove dead skin cells.
