To preserve the beauty and youth of the skin as long as possible, women use a lot of different methods and means, most effective of which are peeling and scrub. These procedures help to quickly clean the skin surface from damaged particles, make it smooth and velvety, speed up the processes of regeneration in cells. These procedures are extremely important to perform regularly, because without timely removal of dead skin particles, even the most expensive creams and masks will not give results. The effect of scrub and peeling will be similar, but despite this, the procedures differ from each other. And today we will tell, what exactly is this difference.
Composition
If you formulate a difference in the compositions of peeling and scraper as short as possible and clearly, It turns out the following:
- Peeling is an acidic tool, which contains the smallest abrasive elements;
- Scrub is a more viscous substance that consists of small solid particles.
But not everything is so simple.
The difference in the compositions of these funds depends on what type they relate.
For example, there are the following types of peels:
- Chemical. The main component of this means is the concentrate of various acids (ana, fruit, etc.). It is these substances that activate the processes of regeneration in the tissues of the skin.
- Enzymes. Also, these peelings are called enzyme, since the impact on the skin is manifested precisely at the expense of certain enzymes.
In addition, they distinguish mechanical and hardware types of peelings. The first type of purification involves skin grinding using abrasives. The second is the impact on the skin with a laser, ultrasound, radiofrequency waves, low or high temperatures. The scrub includes abrasive particles that have a more gentle mechanical impact on the epidermis. The scrub is usually the gel, cream or even clay. And as abrasive components can be ground grape, nut or apricot bones, wax granules, sea or any other salt, coffee.
Operating principle
Peeling is the procedure for exposure to the skin, the result of which is removing dead particles. After peeling, the skin of the face becomes perfect smooth, clean and fresh. The appearance of the skin is improved, regeneration processes are launched. After the peeling of the pores becomes noticeably cleaner, and small wrinkles simply disappear.
Depending on what state is the skin, not only the type of peeling is selected, but its intensity.
For this parameter, peeling is divided into three groups:
- Surface. This type of procedure is assigned in the case when there are no serious problems on the skin and it is only necessary to support the epidermis in such a state. For surface peeling, preparations are used, which gently affect the tissue and do not cause severe skin peeling.
- Median. In this case, not only the skin surface is already affected, and the epidermis layers to the capillaries. Such a procedure is of greater intensity and helps to cope with minor imperfections on the skin of the face.
- Deep. This is the most complex and intensive procedure from all listed. It is appointed only when the skin needs serious and intensive care. For example, with complex treatment of acne, removal of scars, etc. Deep peeling should only conduct an experienced professional. After completion of the procedure, a long rehabilitation period will follow, during which the skin will be intensively updated and peel. The process is not easy, but the results after its completion will be magnificent.
Unlike peeling, the scrub cannot affect the deep layers of the skin.
Due to the use of this agent, only surface layers of the skin are extended. The skin is also becoming cleaner and renewed, the cells are enriched with oxygen. With regular use of scrub, your skin will always stay smooth and beautiful. And the scraping procedure itself does not take much time. After applying the scrub, nutritious and moisturizing face masks will be particularly effective. After all, if you do not extend dead cells before applying such funds, some of them just dried on the burdensome layer and does not apply epidermis.
And so that it is more clear to you, what is the difference between these skin care procedures, consider a few more differences in peeling and scrub:
- The scrub is effective only when cleaning the surface layers of the epidermis, it is possible to influence the deep level using peeling.
- After the chemical peeling procedure requires a certain time on the rehabilitation of the skin. A specific period depends on the degree of intensity of drugs, while after applying the scrub it is not necessary to remove the time for the restoration of tissues.
- If your skin is in a launched state, most likely the scrub will not help significantly improve the situation.
- Acid peelings of deep exposure should only be done in a cosmetology room, and home or professional scrubs are easy to use independently, in its own bathroom, without fear of any complications.
- Peelings must be applied with a large interval than scrubs.
- Some types of peeling, especially if to make them long-term courses, costs the patient is quite expensive. And scrubs are available for everyone, because they can be prepared even from the remedies. For example, residues of coffee grounds and salt.
It is also important to note that after the intensive impact on the skin of acids, you will have to follow the rules.
It will be necessary to limit, and it is better to completely eliminate your stay in the sun and in the solarium, do not walk during the restoration of the skin into the bath, sauna, swimming pool and fitness room. If possible, do not apply decorative cosmetics on the face of at least the first couple of days after the peeling. This is not a complete list of restrictions, since the rules of behavior during the recovery period differ depending on the type of peeling. But in general, we can safely say that after the efforts made, you will certainly get a chic result.
What's better?
To answer this question, even cosmetologists will not be able to unambiguously, because in spite of the fact that these procedures for the varied parameters are similar, they still have significant differences, therefore the conclusion is: to maintain peelings and scrubs to maintain the perfect skin condition. If we competently use these tools, you can achieve truly stunning results and keep the youth and beauty of the skin for a long time.
But it is impossible not to noted that the scrub can be easily used to process the entire body, while peeling is usually used only to purify the face.
Also, remember that the peelings are strictly not recommended to be carried out in a summer period or before leaving in hot countries, since when exposed to sunlight on the skin damaged after peeling, noticeable pigment spots may appear. In order to get rid of them completely from them, you will have to spend a lot of time and money, while the scrub can be used without fears at any time of the year.
Another important point is the rehabilitation of the skin after peeling. It is better not to plan a visit to the cosmetologist before an important event, since over the next few days the skin will be intensively peeling, it is due to this and tissue updates. And on complete recovery after the impact of deep peeling will be required for about a month.
Is it possible to combine?
If you are a happy owner of a normal skin type without any problems, then combining peeling and scrub not only possible, but also need. However, it should be borne in mind that these care procedures have certain indications and contraindications to use.
In particular, peelings of different types are recommended if your skin has the following problems:
- acne;
- black spots;
- Shallow wrinkles;
- dull color;
- scars and pedestal;
- hyperpigmentation;
- Excess selection of sebum.
Even one peeling procedure will allow you to significantly improve the condition of the skin. However, it is not necessary to use peeling if your skin is thinned and is characterized by increased sensitivity, as well as in the presence of open wound and abrasion, herpes, mercury inflammation. Chemical peels are contraindicated by pregnant women. They are prescribed drugs based on fruit acids. Also before carrying out the procedure of purification, it is necessary to make a test for individual intolerance to the components of drugs.
Chemical peeling has much more contraindications than the usual home scrub.
Therefore, before carrying out the peeling, you will definitely consult a specialist. In no case do not make a deep peeling at home yourself, because with improper handling you can only harm your skin, and not to improve its appearance.
Indications for the holding of a home or professional scrub are almost the same. With this tool, it turns out to be narrowed and clean the pores, improve blood microcirculation. Scrub perfectly prepares the skin to further care and enhances the effect of cosmetics. You can not use the scrub if you have an allergy to any component in the composition of the fund, and also if purulent inflammations are present on the skin. The fact is that the scrub's particles will "distribute" an infection from these wounds along the entire surface of the skin, and therefore the risk that after using scrub the amount of rashes will only increase.
It is also not recommended to use scrubs after a fresh tan, with general poor well-being and with any neoplasms on the skin, since small abrasive particles in the scrub are not always smooth and smooth, and therefore they can apply microtrase tissues.
So, peeling and scrub differ from each other, and therefore decide which type of procedure is suitable for you right now, after consulting with a specialist. Do not forget that these procedures help clean and update skin cover, but with their help it will not be possible to achieve a significant effect of rejuvenation and skin lifting. Use funds with caution, follow all the recommendations of the doctors, and you will get beautiful and clean skin for a long time!
