But what exactly does it do, and how do you choose a peel that is suitable for your skin? We will show you!
What is peeling, and why is it important?
Our skin continuously renews itself, but dead skin cells often remain on the surface, clogging pores and making the complexion dull. Exfoliation helps to remove these, making the skin smoother, fresher, and more radiant.
Additionally, after exfoliation, serums, moisturizers, and creams are absorbed much more effectively, as nothing stands in their way.
If your goal is to reduce acne, blackheads, or minor skin imperfections, then peeling will be your new best friend!
What types of exfoliants are there?
There are several types of exfoliants, and your skin type determines which will be the best choice for you.
-
Physical peeling:
Works with fine particles that gently remove dead skin cells.Excellent choice for normal and oily skin.
Our tip: try the Maruderm Salicylic Acid + Tea Tree Oil Deep Cleansing Clay Mask. It helps to deeply cleanse the skin and gently removes excess dirt and oil from the pores. It transforms the skin to be smooth, soft, and radiant.
-
Chemical peeling (AHA, BHA):
It dissolves dead skin cells with the help of acids, providing a more even skin tone and softer texture.
Especially effective if you struggle with acne, enlarged pores, or dull skin.
Recommendation: the Maruderm AHA 10% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Facial Serum delivers gentle yet visible results. It helps to eliminate skin imperfections and renews the surface of the skin.
-
Enzymatic peeling:
The gentlest solution, ideal for sensitive skin. It removes dead skin cells with natural enzymes without causing irritation.
Our favorite: the Maruderm C-Vitamin Enzymatic Peeling Powder with Fruit Enzymes, which transforms the skin into a soft, hydrated, and even-toned complexion with its natural ingredients. The 3% vitamin C it contains gives the skin a natural glow, evens out skin tone, and helps reduce the appearance of spots with its strong antioxidant properties.
How to do peeling correctly?
-
Cleanse your face!
Use a gentle cleanser, such as the Maruderm Gentle Cleansing Gel for Sensitive Skin, which cleanses gently yet thoroughly.
-
Apply the peeling!
Gently massage it into the skin, then leave it on for the recommended time.
-
Rinse and hydrate!
Always use your favorite moisturizer after exfoliation, such as the Maruderm Skin Protecting and Regenerating Barrier Moisturizer, as our cream contains 5% panthenol and 1.5% ceramide, specifically formulated for the intense hydration of the skin, restoration of the skin barrier, and improvement of overall skin health. Don't forget the sunscreen!
-
Exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV rays, so always apply sunscreen during the day, such as the Maruderm SPF50+ Cica Skin Tone Evening Sunscreen Cream.
How often should you exfoliate?
It depends on your skin type:
-
Oily or combination skin: 1-2 times a week.
-
Dry or sensitive skin: once every 2-3 weeks is sufficient.
It is important not to overdo it.A too frequent exfoliation can cause irritation. Listen to your skin: if it turns red or feels tight, give it time to regenerate.
Plus tip: this is how you can enhance the effect
After exfoliation, your skin is much more receptive to active ingredients, so it's a good idea to apply a serum or moisturizer at this time.
Our tip: try the Maruderm Hyaluronic Acid + Collagen Anti-Aging Face Serum, which deeply hydrates, or the Maruderm Niacinamide 10% Face Serum, which helps to even out skin tone and reduce the visibility of pores.
