What is peeling?
Our face needs regular cleaning. Skin cells are constantly renewed, the keratinized top layer is not washed off with water even with the use of special washing gels. He needs help, this can be done with the help of peeling.
If you do not carry out a regular cleaning procedure, then dead cells clog pores. For this reason, nutrients do not penetrate in the required amount, and the skin ages and fades prematurely. In addition, clogged pores lead to blackheads, pimples and other blemishes.

Blood circulation improves, metabolism accelerates.
There are many types of peeling, but most of them must be carried out exclusively in specialized salons under the supervision of a cosmetologist. For home procedures, the following cleaning methods are suitable:
- Mechanical. It works on the principle of sandpaper – it removes the top layer of the skin with crushed solid particles.
- Chemical. Cleaning occurs due to a chemical reaction that is safe for health.
- Physical. The effect is achieved by pre-steaming the skin.
According to the degree of cleaning, superficial, medium and deep peels are distinguished. At home, only the first option is carried out.
The principle of operation of the peeling roll
Peeling roll is an ideal method of superficial facial cleansing at home. Its essence is a chemical reaction. Calcium chloride, which is applied to the face, reacts with the soap solution. As a result, a calcium salt is formed. It is she who rolls into balls, picking up the stratum corneum behind her. Hence the name of the procedure.
This type of peeling can be attributed to mild cleaning methods. It does not injure the skin, like scrubs with crushed apricot or grape seeds. But at the same time, such a procedure cleanses and smoothes the skin well, tightens pores, and starts rejuvenating processes.
