Our skin loses its ability to regenerate with age, but every woman wants to remain young and attractive for as long as possible. Modern cosmetology is constantly developing new ways to care for the face and body that can effectively and successfully cope with skin aging. One of the most popular methods in this area is yellow peeling, which was invented in Hollywood.
Yellow or retinol peeling is a chemical superficial-medium peeling. This cosmetic procedure is used to quickly restore the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and hands. The solution used to perform this peeling turns yellow during the procedure due to the content of the active component vitamin A - this is the reason for the corresponding name.
Too little time has passed
Whatever the type of exfoliation, massive peeling of the epidermis begins only some time after the cosmetic intervention. As a rule, changes appear only after 2-3 days . If the procedure is superficial, then small skin flakes will peel off. And in the case of medium or deep exfoliation, large-plate exfoliation is observed: the skin “peeles off” in larger dry flaps, and rehabilitation lasts from 5 to 14 days. You can ask your doctor or cosmetic product distributor on what day after peeling the peeling begins as part of a specific course of care.

The time for peeling has not yet come
The skin after peeling does not begin to peel off “this very second and now.” A certain amount of time must pass before this process begins. As a rule – 2-3 days.
At first, the face becomes a darker shade, then the upper ball begins to crack slightly and the keratinized particles begin to separate with varying degrees of intensity. This depends on several factors:
- depth of influence. Superficial peeling will not cause a particularly strong reaction and only slight peeling will be noticeable. The middle version of the impact involves the detachment of significant flaps of skin. The pieces look like dry, thin parchment. Under no circumstances should they be forcibly removed or scrubs used for these purposes. Deep peeling is a procedure performed only in a hospital setting and the rehabilitation period is characterized by very severe peeling, reminiscent of “molting”;
- exfoliant used. We have already mentioned this factor. The more aggressive the agent, the more pronounced the process will be;
- pronounced hyperkeratosis or the first procedure in many years. In this case, peeling will not happen, since your skin needs more extensive intervention to remove a sufficiently large number of dead scales that have accumulated over previous years or due to the individual characteristics of the epidermis.
Let us especially dwell on the fourth factor.
Recommendations for care if there is no peeling
- wash your face after cleansing
the next morning. To do this, it is recommended to use thermal water or regular mineral water, without gas. - You should not be exposed to open sunlight for a long time, even in winter; before going outside, you should apply a protective cream with a high UV factor.
- to do without makeup
for 3-4 days : this way the effect of the procedure will be more noticeable. - Within the time allotted for rehabilitation, it is recommended to avoid the use of further exfoliants
: such as, for example, tonics, exfoliating wipes, etc. - moisturizer
at night . Panthenol-based ointments work well.
Typical and atypical consequences
Typical effects of peeling are:
- Peeling – it can last 3-7 days.
- Redness - the intensity of this reaction is influenced by the depth and extent of the damage. The peak of redness is observed immediately after the procedure, then the redness gradually decreases.
- Swelling – appears, most often, after peeling the neck and eyelids. The skin in these areas is more delicate, therefore, the reaction will be stronger. Also, pre-swelling and puffiness may appear after a mid-peeling.
These consequences are considered normal and, with proper skin care, go away on their own.
If redness and swelling do not subside, but intensify, you should urgently consult a cosmetologist.
Atypical reactions after peeling:
- Rashes and pimples. This phenomenon can occur if the skin is not properly cared for after cleansing. If the rash is severe, you should consult a cosmetologist who will prescribe anti-inflammatory and anti-acne medications.
- Scars and scabs. May appear if exfoliating skin is scraped off.
- Hyperpigmentation. If the season for peeling is chosen incorrectly, such a reaction will not be long in coming. Peeling is not recommended in spring and summer, and after the procedure you should not be exposed to sunlight.
Cosmetologist's opinion
Lucia Jordanova, cosmetologist at La Femme salon (Znojmo, Czech Republic)
“It all depends on your skin type. The fatter it is, the less it will peel off. Sometimes even a chemical exfoliant does not cause active desquamation. Therefore, if after cleansing the face does not peel off, it is too early to draw conclusions about the specialist’s negligence or lack of effect. However, in order to completely rely on your cosmetologist, you must initially choose the right salon. It is advisable that a certified dermatologist vouch for peeling compositions, because the quality of acids with a high 60% concentration is especially important. And at home, patients without special medical education are allowed to use only products with a maximum acidity of up to 25%.”
Have you had a similar experience?
Why doesn’t my face peel off and should this always happen?
So, from all of the above, it becomes clear that peeling after peeling is a normal phenomenon that leads to skin renewal. For what reasons does this not happen?
Not much time has passed
Massive peeling of the epidermis, regardless of the type of peeling, appears only after a couple of days.
In addition, the intensity of exfoliation depends on the concentration of the solution used, so it is best after the manipulation to ask a specialist on what day after the procedure you should expect peeling.
Even before peeling begins, a reaction to the procedure will still be observed. The skin will become tense, it will be unpleasant to touch, and folds will appear during facial expressions. Such phenomena indicate that the procedure was carried out correctly, and peeling will soon begin.

Incorrect concentration
It is possible that your cosmetologist does not have enough experience and prepared the composition in too weak a concentration. But it is quite possible that a gentle composition was specially prepared for a novice client; in this case, this cannot be considered a mistake, just next time the concentration of the solution needs to be increased.
Individual characteristics
There are patients whose skin is resistant to damage to the epidermis. In them, even after aggressive peeling, peeling may not be observed. Also, the skin can get used to the effects of acids - frequent use of tonics, creams and masks with acids. Naturally, in this case the skin reacts much calmer to full peeling.
Gentle procedure
Aesthetic medicine does not imply universal solutions. For each patient, recommendations on the composition of the drug are selected individually and are based on specific indications.
If this is your first time peeling, you will be given a gentle procedure, therefore, the reaction will not be as violent.
In addition, not all peelings involve pronounced peeling:
- gas-liquid;
- carbon;
- vacuum;
- as well as a number of new generation chemical peels.
Lika: Effective peeling without redness or flaking on the face!
Greetings, dear readers!
It just so happened that my first product from the Sativa brand was the sensational new Active Enzyme Peeling No. 100.
Who knows when I would have become acquainted with the brand if it weren’t for my restless curiosity about an exclusive product in the eco segment.
This product is an alternative to traditional chemical peeling with AHA acids; it has the same properties, but does not cause irritation on the skin.
I was attracted to the following positions in peeling:
- gentle effect
- possibility to use it all year round
- clean and smooth effect
The extent to which my expectations were met is described in detail below, but first, briefly about the main thing.
I won’t dwell on the packaging for long, everything can be seen from the photo: an elegant, beautiful cardboard box in which I would like to see at least several sachets, or one larger size.
In my humble opinion, it is somehow not advisable to use such a box for a bag weighing 5 grams.
Shelf life: 24 months.
The cost is about 300 rubles, but I managed to grab two packages for 500 rubles.
All necessary information is duplicated in three places at once: on the back of the package, on the back of the bag and in the instructions.
But the most detailed and clear description of the application can be found in the instructions.
Link to composition
The service did not recognize keratinase , the very active component of the peeling. This is an enzyme that is obtained biotechnologically from certain bacteria. Keratinase very gently, without traumatic consequences, exfoliates dead skin cells.
The contents of the sachet are white powder with black specks. Reminiscent of starch or flour, the smell is neutral.
When mixed with water, the mass turns into a creamy texture. It really is like custard, very pleasant and soft to the touch.
The substance glides onto the skin easily and naturally, like a glove. Nothing flows or floats anywhere.
Maybe I was just lucky enough to mix the powder and water perfectly? After all, in other reviews, girls complained that the mask was poorly distributed, but not for me, all 6 times it was perfect (although I’m still a handyman
