Milk peeling at home

More than a couple of thousands of years have passed since the most beautiful of all women - Cleopatra lived on Earth. Of course, today we all know: in each of us the Egyptian queen lives. However, the question remains: how to wake it up? We will use for this one of the three secrets of the most beautiful, according to the opinions of numerous fans, women. Namely: we independently organize a milk "bath" Cleopatra at home!

Why do milk peeling?

The term "peeling" came from the English peel - "exfoliate." So we have to “hinder” the dead particles of the skin, cleanse our velvet (in the future) cover of husk. And we will do it with nothing more than lactic acid.

What is lactic acid peeling

Milk peeling is an ecfolation solution of lactic acid, which is used by cosmetologists to rejuvenate the skin of the face and body. It belongs to chemical surface peels. The principle of this method of purification lies in the chemical composition of the mixture, namely, in acid. Since lactic acid is produced by our body independently (yes, this is the very substance that accumulates in our muscles, if you do not play sports for a long time, which is why they are desperately sore after the first light training), the procedure of such rejuvenation can be practiced independently at home. However, do not actively get carried away and recklessly rush headlong: first, read the article about milk peeling so that:

• conduct it correctly;
• do not harm your body;
• achieve the maximum effect in the shortest possible time.

The effectiveness of milk peeling

What effects should Cleopatra, who decided to treat himself with milk peeling at home?

1. Skin bleaching.
2. Improving her tone.
3. Increasing the degree of hydration of dermis and epidermis - in other words, active moisture.
4. Getting rid of acne, acne, black dots, reduction of pigmentation.
5. Prevention of the appearance of early wrinkles.
6. Clalings and alignment of skin color.
7. Removing stretch marks.
8. Increased elasticity and skin elasticity.

In order to feel the maximum efficiency of milk peeling at home, you should start practicing it as early as possible. Girls younger than 30, who have already begun “homework”, are unlikely to feel significant changes in their appearance. But they will not notice the appearance of small wrinkles, reduce inflammatory processes, if any on the skin, in a word, extend their youth! But women of a more mature age (40+) may not feel the effect of the procedure either at home or in a cosmetic salon. Take care of beauty from youth, dear girls!

Recommendations and contraindications for milk peeling

The advantage of milk peeling over other superficial chemical procedures on the skin is that its active substance is absolutely organic to human nature, which means that the procedure can also be carelessly carried out, including allergies! And for girls with sensitive skin, milk peeling will become a rescue circle to an inevitably impending age.

However, there are a number of contraindications that cannot be lost if you want milk peeling to benefit your health and appearance.

1. If you wear under your heart or breastfeeding a child.
2. In the presence of diabetes.
3. Even small wounds, abrasions, scratches and other open or irritated skin areas (the same herpes) can sharply react to lactic acid getting there.
4. Oncological or dermatological diseases.
5. Individual intolerance to the components (you can consult this with your attending physician or dermatologist).
6. After a long stay in the sun, including on a fresh tan, it is not recommended to apply milk peeling.

How does milk peeling work?

So, we got to the very sacramental question: how does milk peeling work and how to conduct it correctly at home?

To begin with, it should be understood that there are two methods of conducting milk peeling: independently prepare an exforating mixture or buy it in a store. With the right approach to carrying out the procedure itself, the effect of both the first and the second mixture will be the same. However, if you are not confident in your abilities, that you will correctly calculate the proportions for milk peeling, you better contact the ready -made product.

What components of milk peeling should you pay attention to?

You can find out the indicators indicated below, by carefully studying the label on the packaging of the ingredients if you are preparing a mixture for peeling with lactic acid of the house yourself. Observing the recipe, you can be sure of the safety of the prepared mixture for peeling with lactic acid without any special knowledge and skills.  However, it is still worth the care of this knowledge in order to comply with safety precautions during the anti-aging procedure at home.

1. The concentration of fruit and lactic acid (total) should not exceed 20%, otherwise there is a risk in case of careless use to get a burn of the skin of the skin.
2. For the same reasons, the pH level should not be higher than 3.5.
3. Hydroquinone - if you have met this component as part of your drug, in no case use it! This toxic substance causes violations in the endocrine system of a person.
4. If glycerin is included in the composition of milk peeling, it should only be used in conditions if air humidity is not lower than 65%, because Otherwise, he will extend moisture from your skin instead of taking it from the environment.

If you are not sure that the ingredients that you are going to use correspond to the above standards, do not risk: do not become easy prey for those who want to enrich themselves at your expense.

Prepare a peeling mixture with lactic acid at home

The list of home cosmetics recipes, including milk peeling, is constantly updated. There are both folk remedies and recipes created by the efforts of experienced cosmetologists. The most important thing in creating a mixture for milk peeling at home is not to make a mistake with the concentration of lactic acid. Therefore, in this part of the article we will consider several proven compositions of exforating solutions.

1. One of the most common ways is to create a mixture for milk peeling Hilak Forte. In addition to the milk, this pharmacy also includes citric and phosphoric acids, so before use, make sure that these components will not harm your skin: do not risk if your body can react to some substance aggressively. A few drops of the drug can be added to the mask (if it does not include lactic acid) in order to increase its effectiveness.

2. To create the most effective mixture, purchase a solution with lactic acid in a regular or veterinary pharmacy (or in an online store). It is applied and withstanded from 1 to 4 minutes, depending on the sensitivity of the skin and on how long you are piling.

Important! The concentration of lactic acid in such a mixture should not exceed 10%-15%.  If you could not find lactic acid of a suitable concentration, take more saturated and, having done simple calculations, bring it to the desired percentage. Such a mixture can be brought to mind by adding the required amount of water. In this case, make a proportion to calculate the amount of water required for breeding lactic acid to the necessary concentration.

3. Buy a sour -milk product (kefir or sour cream is suitable), add a little crushed in a blender or fruit, berries, vegetables rubbed in a mortar. Drink this sour “cocktail” until smooth.  Apply to the skin of the face and leave for 30 minutes. So unpretentious complex surface peeling can be performed every summer!

The advantages of the last recipe are obvious. Firstly, the content of lactic acid in the products used is very low (varies within 5%) than in a mixture for milk peeling based on pharmacy drugs. So, the procedure can be carried out more often. Secondly, this is a great way to get rid of the in the summer of who began to deteriorate the products: slightly acidic fruits, fermented berries, soft vegetables, which can be donated from the dining table to the cosmetic table without a twinge of conscience. However, the effect of such peeling will not be great, unless the peeling inherent in a dry type of skin will leave.

What are the most priority brands (according to reviews)

If you do not want to stand in the kitchen with a pestle and a mortar or pour over measured cups and measure portions of lactic acid, preparing a cosmetic mixture, you should buy ready -made milk peeling. Especially for you, we have created a list of the best manufacturers of milk peeling based on the reviews of scrupulous customers.

Milk peeling: Principles of lactic acid action

I want to complete this section with a description of the principles of lactic acid on the skin, so that you understand better: will this procedure help or, conversely, will aggravate the condition of your skin?

The effect of milk peeling on the skin is by no means magic. It has a number of properties, thanks to which you can observe a good effect from the procedure.

1. Exfoliating action.  Loemic acid destroys the bonds between the cells of the epidermis, as a result of which the process of separating the dead particles of the skin is launched, and this, in turn, stimulates its renewal.
2. Rejuvenating effect. The same lactic acid increases the rate of synthesis inside the cells and between them, we help metabolic processes. This smoothes small wrinkles, makes the skin more elastic.
3. Moisturizing action. Initially, the epidermal cells contain a moisturizing natural factor (NMF). In young people it contains a lot, and in the old ones there are few. Lactic acid itself is a component of a moisturizing factor, and also activates the processes of skin hydration.
4. Reducing fat excretions from cells. This process (sebostatic) is due to the fact that lactic acid has anti -inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Thanks to this, the skin becomes cleaner, acne, rash and acne irriticiously leave the skin.
5. Loemic acid accelerates cell division processes allows milk peeling to have the effect of lifting on the skin.
6. Among other things, lactic acid brightens the skin. Therefore, the dark -skinned and tanned girls should be used with caution so as not to look ridiculous.

How to do milk peeling at home (video)

So, now you understand whether you need milk peeling and which mixture is used. Now let's start the procedure itself.

If you have a free quarter of an hour, watch the video below. The effects of milk peeling are described in detail, it is told about the components of milk peeling, and the application technique is shown.

If you prefer to do everything in order, below in the text you will find a detailed instruction for actions.

Preparation for milk peeling

Since milk peeling is basically safe, some special preparation for it is not required. However, you should know the rules of “safety precautions” so as not to fall into risk group and not to find undesirable consequences on the face after the procedure.

For a couple of weeks before conducting milk peeling both at home and in a cosmetic salon, do not sunbathe. Let me remind you that the effects of ultraviolet radiation on the skin occurs not only during special procedures: an exploration on the beach or in a solarium. It is undesirable to undergo a procedure if you are in the mountains or during the summer period, when the weather is especially clear.

If you are not sure how your skin will react to the effects of lactic acid, it is better to start preparing for peeling for a while before. To do this, every day before bedtime, apply a cream containing 1-2% lactic acid or several fruit acids with low concentration.

Milk peeling mixture

If you conducted preliminary preparation, you can start directly conducting milk peeling.

Step 1. Peel the skin. Remove makeup if you peel your face.

Step 2. Degrease the skin with a tonic tonic.

Step 3. Pipiling - applying a special cosmetic substance with a low lactic acid content. It is carried out if you ignored the preparation for peeling and want to find out how your skin will respond to the effect of the mixture.

Step 4. Loam acid should be applied with a special cosmetic brush, if necessary, use cotton sticks. If you use a face peeling, you should adhere to a certain application route: the forehead - the whiskey - the side surfaces of the cheeks - the side surfaces of the neck - the neckline - the front surface of the neck - the chin - the area around the mouth - the nose - the area around the eyes (retreating from the folds of the upper eyelid 1 cm, from the lower - by 0.5 cm).

Step 5. Peeling neutralization is in the opposite direction: from the region around the lips to the forehead. To do this, you can use a special mixture or simply moistened with an alcohol solution of a cotton pad.

Step 6. Wash a lot of cool water. Hot water reacts with lactic acid, because of which it is impossible to use it after the procedure: it can cause extensive irritation.

Small secrets of milk peeling:

1. If you experience an unpleasant burning sensation, a hairdryer set for a cold blowing mode will facilitate your burden.
2. Lubricate the delicate skin of the eyelids and lips with a petroleum jelly so that they are not affected by the effects of lactic acid.
3. Do not touch the skin during the procedure!

Milk peeling recommendations at home

1. If you carry out the procedure yourself for the first time, at home or not sure of the quality of the mixture, do not neglect the precautions and preparation for peeling.  You will cost little blood if you find out in advance that your body reacts acutely to lactic acid.
2. Before the procedure, consult your cosmetologist. It is familiar with the features of your skin and will help choose the right mixture, guess proportions precisely for your type of appearance.
3. Try to minimize risks. For example, carry out milk peeling in the winter, when the probability of obtaining irritation and inflammation of the skin is lower than the rest of the year.
4. Before performing milk peeling on the face, experiment on other less open and delicate skin areas - for example, on a neck or abdomen.
5. Carefully monitor the reaction of the skin to lactic acid.   If the skin of the skin appears, peeling should be neutralized immediately.
6. The first procedure is best carried out using a low concentrated solution of lactic acid and for a short period of time (from 4 to 10 minutes). If the skin suffers peeling well, gradually the concentration of the solution and time can be increased with each next procedure.
7. Carry out the procedure in the bathroom or at a cosmetic table in good lighting so that cold running water is in quick accessibility. Keep all the jars with the necessary cosmetics at hand in case of an unforeseen situation.

After milk peeling

Despite the fact that the milk peeling procedure itself can pass successfully, its effect is easy to turn into negative if you do not comply with the postpilling regime.

1. After the procedure itself, it is useful to devote time to moisturizing and calming the skin. Since most likely after peeling it will look reddened and can even pinch. Apply a moisturizing mask or cream (with retinoids), try to relax and not injure the skin. A good method is to draw on the skin a piece of ice (frozen distilled or micellar water, brewing from chamomile or other healing herbs).
2. Avoid causing direct sunlight. Be sure to use protective cosmetics with SPF 30+.
3. Do not use decorative cosmetics for at least a day if the procedure was carried out on your face. If the peeling was applied to the skin of the hands, do not use aggressive detergents without rubber gloves. Do not do hair removal shortly after the procedure.

If the procedure is carried out according to all safety regulations, but the results confuse you, you should figure it out that this is the right skin reaction to milk peeling.

1. Tangible heat and moderate tingling, while lactic acid is applied to the skin and “works”, is quite acceptable: it will pass shortly after you remove the peeling from the face and treat the skin.
2. The epidermis can peel off for several days after the procedure.
3. All redness should pass during the first two days.
4. Owners of delicate skin can have increased sensitivity. If she begins to bother you, use Panthenol or Shi oil.
5. Panthenol and olazol should also be used when receiving burns from lactic acid.

Adhere to safety precautions, and unpleasant consequences will not affect you.

How often can you do milk peeling at home?

Milk peeling, as has already been said repeatedly, is one of the safest ways of exfolting the skin. And, nevertheless, they should not be abused. The normal rhythm for this procedure is several times a year. You should not spend it whenever you think that your pores are clogged or the quality of the skin has worsened. Firstly, probably in these cases it will be enough for you to change a diet or get by with tonics-scrubs; And secondly, you can inadvertently remove the healthy cells of the epidermis than to violate the integrity of the skin (imperceptibly, at the cellular level), which will lead to the negative effects of milk peeling. And if it seems to you that several times a year throughout your life is too little, then read about phenolic peeling, which can only be carried out only once in your life!

Do not risk being disappointed in milk peeling! With proper use, this procedure will help you extend youth for many years.
