Hollywood peeling: secrets of stars to guard your beauty

Jessner chemical peeling is a gentle technique that harmoniously combines a gentle effect on the superficial and middle dermal layers, a short recovery period and a pronounced rejuvenating effect.

The special formula of the emulsion ensures enhanced exfoliation of dead cells and launches an intensive regenerative process.

Depending on the number of layers applied, the product acts as a superficial or medium peeling.

Post-peeling rehabilitation takes a short time and makes it possible to quickly return to normal life, with the exception of exposure to the sun.

An excellent product for maintaining the natural beauty and youth of the skin without the use of plastic surgery methods!

Essence and advantages

In fact, Hollywood peeling is not one, but three types of procedures, each of which allows for gentle but intense exfoliation of dead skin cells.
Thanks to them, the pores are well cleaned and the skin begins to breathe. The procedures are so quick and safe that, provided quality ingredients are available, they can be performed at home. That’s why they were taken note by the ever-busy stars.

In addition, they have a number of advantages over other peeling methods:

• can be performed at any time of the year;
• do not damage the integrity of the epidermis;
• do not cause severe burns;
• do not cause pain;
• normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands;
• give results after the first procedure;
• improve subcutaneous blood circulation;
• stimulate active regeneration processes.

After 2-5 peels performed sequentially, the effect can last from 3 to 6 months. Considering the relatively low price of the procedure (especially if you do it yourself), these are excellent indicators.

Hollywood facial cleansing with calcium chloride. Properties of the composition for facial skin

Another name for the procedure is “peeling-rolling”. It is associated with a chemical reaction that occurs when two of its components interact.

Calcium chloride combines with baby soap and forms a reaction in which the soap precipitates, thereby forming pellets. They serve as scrubbing particles for cleansing the face. The result is impressive. Positive reviews after cleansing the face in this way have made this procedure very famous.

Peeling gained popularity due to its main property: deep exfoliation of the upper layers of the skin. Her regenerative abilities then increase significantly. It becomes more tender, smooth and renewed. In addition, the Hollywood procedure has other equally important properties:

1. Regeneration. After this procedure, the skin is restored at the cellular level. Its metabolic processes are resumed and blood flow improves. Nutrients are better supplied to the surface of the skin, as a result it becomes more elastic and soft.
2. The effect of stress. Peeling creates temporary irritation of the epidermis. But this is not a negative property. Thanks to “stress,” all processes in the skin awaken, it begins to intensively renew itself and restore its natural protective layer. Of course, this effect will not be useful if used frequently. For a beneficial effect, the breaks between procedures should be at least seven days.

3. Cleansing. This property means not only the exfoliation of dead cells and the removal of surface impurities, but also a deeper effect. Peeling cleanses the skin from the inside. As a result, the pores will be clean and inflammation will gradually disappear.

Indications

Cosmetologists consider the optimal age for such a procedure to be from 30 to 45 years. It helps to combat the following problems quite effectively:

• signs of skin photoaging;
• multiple small wrinkles;
• sagging and loss of elasticity;
• dull complexion;
• shallow pigmentation;
• small scars and scars;
• comedones and acne;
• acne marks and spots;
• increased sebum secretion;
• manifestations of rosacea.

Peeling perfectly evens out the skin texture, refreshes its color and makes the face lighter, visually rejuvenating it.

Types of peeling

Hollywood peeling is called peeling, which in its classic form is performed with phytic acid. However, “star” cleansing methods also include retinoic peeling and rolling with a solution of calcium chloride. We will take a closer look at each of these methods of refreshing and rejuvenating the face.

Classic

To perform the classic version of Hollywood facial cleansing, you will need glycolic and phytic acids. At home, their concentration should not exceed 20%; in the salon it can reach 35-40%.

You should buy such drugs only in specialized professional stores or on the official websites of manufacturers and their representatives. The result of the procedure depends 90% on their quality.

The step-by-step technique for carrying out the procedure is as follows:

• thorough make-up removal is performed;
• the face is wiped with a non-alcohol tonic;
• a thin layer of glycolic acid is applied;
• after 3-2 minutes there is a layer of phytic acid on top of it;
• the mixture is left on the face for 10-15 minutes;
• then thoroughly washed off with summer running water.

Finally, a soothing mask is required, and then a good moisturizer. In case of severe redness of the skin (which is quite possible due to the high penetrating ability of glycolic acid), a foam with panthenol will be useful, which can be left on for up to half an hour.

Chlorine peeling

This type of Hollywood facial is ideal for doing at home. It is simple, safe and gives really excellent results, although it cannot be practiced very often as it seriously dries out the skin.

For this you will need a 10% solution of potassium chloride purchased at a regular pharmacy and solid baby soap without any fragrances or additives.

The execution technology is as follows:

• it all starts again with makeup removal;
• Apply a chloride solution to clean, dry skin (as a tonic);
• wait until it is completely dry, and after 2-3 minutes - the second layer;
• then in the same way a third and maybe a fourth;
• We wet the fingertips with clean water and soap them;
• Using soft but intense circular movements, roll up the calcium chloride;
• the process lasts until dry grayish crumbs form under your hands;
• Rinse your face with running warm water.

The skin after such peeling is practically not irritated, but it really needs intensive hydration. Therefore, it is advisable to use a gel or cream with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid.

Retinoic peeling

Gives especially good results on dry, aging skin with multiple fine wrinkles, which it perfectly smoothes and very refreshes the face. But it is not combined with antibiotics, chemotherapy and is not done on freshly tanned skin - this can lead to hyperpigmentation.

The procedure requires glycolic acid in a weak concentration - up to 10-15%, retinoic acid - 15-25%, depending on the type and condition of the skin, and a neutralizer. All this is also purchased from reliable suppliers.

Do not confuse retinoic acid with retinol - these are similar in action, but different in chemical composition!

The procedure is performed as follows:

• remove fat and all cosmetics from the face;
• Apply glycolic acid to clean, dry skin with a flat brush;
• after 2-3 minutes on top of it - retinoic;
• keep the composition for up to 15 minutes (no more);
• a neutralizer is applied on top of it;
• Wash off any remaining product with lukewarm water.

Finally, depending on the skin reaction, use a moisturizing mask or a good soothing cream. If the procedures were performed in the salon, you can go home after 10-15 minutes. It is important to avoid wind, sun and sudden temperature changes.

Features of skin care after cleansing

It is necessary to take care of your face after exfoliation as carefully as possible. This effect on the epidermis makes it more sensitive and less resistant to environmental factors. So, in order to maintain the effect of the procedure, you need to pay attention to the following recommendations:

• do not wash your face for 24 hours after peeling;
• actively use nourishing and moisturizing creams;
• do not peel off flaky areas and crusts;
• for a while, refrain from applying makeup and masks that have not been approved by a cosmetologist;
• avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen;
• refuse to visit the bathhouse or sauna.

Combination with other procedures

Sometimes peeling alone is not enough to achieve the desired result. If age-related changes are a concern, then, in addition to Hollywood cleansing, mesotherapy, anti-aging injections, contour plastic surgery, and laser resurfacing are allowed.

Since this type of peeling has a short recovery period, additional procedures can be done immediately after completing the course.

Review of popular brands

Manufacturers have invented many types of drugs used for Hollywood peeling. Let's present the most popular brands:

1. Mesopeel Jessne - helps against wrinkles, unevenness, post-acne marks. It has a hydro-glycerin base.
2. Jessner Solution Pee – used for rejuvenation through mid-cleanse. Contains three acids.
3. Solution Jessner Peel is a professional product used in salons. Considered one of the best.
4. Timeless peel cosmedix – contains vitamin A and lactic acid. Stimulates the processes of renewal and rejuvenation.

Companies producing the above products recommend using their additional products designed to speed up the rehabilitation period and maintain the effect of the procedure. You can buy them in specialized stores.

Recovery

During Hollywood peeling, patients often feel a slight tingling sensation, sometimes even a burning sensation. It usually goes away completely in a maximum of two hours. Minor redness may last until the evening. This is a normal reaction of the body to a mild, but quite intense impact.

On the second day the skin tightens. A feeling of dryness appears and a thin crust forms. It requires very careful care, since when microcracks appear, they can become infected. Therefore, the main task of the second day is to constantly moisturize and soften the skin. Ideally, it is better to spend this day at home and regularly apply a moisturizing spray, and use a high-quality cream in the morning and evening.

Then peeling begins. You should not try to speed up the process so that there are no marks or scars. Therefore, it is important to follow the basic rules of post-peeling care:

• do not sunbathe or go to the solarium;
• do not steam your face in the shower or bath;
• do not sweat or engage in active sports;
• do not abuse decorative cosmetics;
• do not swim in pools and open water;
• Always apply sunscreen before going outside;
• Avoid overheating and sudden temperature changes.

Taking into account the fact that to obtain a lasting effect it is necessary to perform at least 2-3 procedures with an interval of 7-10 days, and the final recovery after them takes up to a month, these prohibitions will remain in effect for quite a long time. And you need to be prepared for this in advance.

In addition, during this period you will have to give up facial massage and other salon rejuvenating procedures.

Question answer

It all depends on the type of cleansing. With superficial exfoliation, peeling occurs on the 2-3rd day, it is mild and passes quickly. In the case of medium cleansing, the skin peels off from the next day and for 4–7 days.

To quickly get rid of this side effect, you need to regularly use moisturizing and regenerating products, and you should not remove exfoliated skin with your hands.

How long should you leave the Jessner peel on your face so as not to harm your skin?

The average duration of the procedure ranges from 5 to 15 minutes, but it is better to determine the exact time with a specialist who will take into account the seriousness of the existing problems.

How long after application should I wash off the cleansing composition?

Most often, the composition is not washed off, but is neutralized with a special solution after 10–15 minutes. If a mixture was selected for cleansing that needs to be washed off, then this is done at home 4–8 hours after the procedure.

Contraindications

Hollywood peeling is one of the softest. It belongs to the superficial gentle products with a slight tightening and rejuvenating effect. But even with these qualities, it is not suitable for everyone.

The main contraindication is individual intolerance to any of the ingredients. Also, the procedure cannot be performed if:

• scratches, abrasions and other damage to the skin;
• exacerbation of existing chronic diseases;
• any cancer problems;
• active form of the herpes virus;
• insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus;
• pregnancy and lactation.

Phytin peeling most often provokes allergies. Therefore, before using it for the first time, you must do a test: apply a little product to the bend of your elbow or in the area behind the ear. Wait for 5-10 minutes and if no unpleasant skin reactions appear, you can safely carry out the procedure.

Soothing masks

After cleansing, the skin calms down on its own within 30 minutes. If redness persists, a soothing mask will help. As a result:

• irritation will pass;
• the remaining peeling will be removed;
• the skin will be saturated with vitamins;
• there will be a feeling of freshness.

Recipe No. 1 with apple and carrots

Grate one apple and one carrot, add 4 tablespoons of yogurt or kefir. After mixing, apply to the face. After 15 minutes, everything can be washed off with warm water.

Recipe No. 2 with oatmeal

The flakes should first be crushed, then poured with hot water. When the flakes swell, add a teaspoon of honey and sunflower oil, apply to the skin of the face, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse. Finish the procedure by rubbing with a piece of ice with a frozen infusion of sage or chamomile flowers.

Complications and side effects

When performed correctly, Hollywood facial peeling gives excellent results without severely damaging the skin or causing side effects. This is why the stars love him so much: minimal risks and the fastest possible recovery.

However, if the technology is violated, which quite often happens when peeling is done by non-professionals at home, the following troubles may arise:

• prolonged redness of the skin;
• severe swelling of the entire face or just the eyelids;
• hyperpigmentation in certain areas of the skin;
• more pronounced manifestation of rosacea;
• exacerbation of sluggish inflammatory processes.

Therefore, for those who are not confident in their own strengths and skills, it is better to go to the salon. The rest need to carefully study the instructions for the drugs used, in no case exceed their exposure time and be sure to do everything step by step, without changing the proposed sequence of steps.

Salon procedure protocol

In 95% of cases, Hollywood peeling with phytic acid is carried out in a cosmetology office. Salon exfoliation reduces the risk of side effects to a minimum: there is no danger of overexposing the composition on the face, getting a chemical burn or complications. The results from using professional cosmetic peeling products will also be more noticeable and last longer. In less than an hour, the cosmetologist performs the following actions:

• make-up remover, during which the facial skin is freed from decorative cosmetics and degreased with special products;
• applying a weak solution of glycolic acid to clean skin, which helps to “loose” dead epidermis;
• applying a mask with phytic acid over the glycolic film;
• the exposure time of the peeling product on the skin varies from 15 minutes to 24 hours (depending on the indications for the procedure, skin sensitivity and the desired effect);
• At the end of the session, the product is removed from the face with a cotton pad soaked in cosmetic milk. The remaining composition is washed off with warm water;
• A moisturizing or soothing mask is applied to clean skin.

The Hollywood peeling procedure causes a slight burning and tingling sensation on the skin. This is a normal reaction that occurs after the acidic compound is removed. After a day, under the influence of acids, the face turns red, the skin tightens and begins to peel off. The next 5-7 days are rehabilitation time, when it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of post-peeling care. A week after chemical peeling, the skin is completely restored: it becomes silky, elastic, matte, without wrinkles, pigmentation and other aesthetic defects.

The rehabilitation period after Hollywood peels is short, but still requires compliance with some simple rules for caring for skin damaged by acids. During the week after the procedure, you need to use moisturizing and wound-healing creams (for example, Bepanten), make masks based on enzymes, and protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet rays using sunscreen lotions with SPF of at least 35.

Incorrectly performed Hollywood peeling can cause some side effects:

• excessive redness of the skin (erythema) that does not go away for more than a week;
• swelling of the face and eyelids;
• hyperpigmentation of certain areas of the skin (especially in fair-skinned women);
• development of inflammatory processes;
• worsening rosacea (expansion of the capillary network).

Only strict adherence to the procedure protocol will help you avoid complications after Hollywood peeling.

Summing up

According to reviews from most of those who have tried one of the Hollywood peeling recipes, the results are truly impressive. Which method is best for you will have to be determined experimentally, or better yet, consult a cosmetologist.

Chloride is the simplest, but it is not suitable for very dry skin and does not deal with pigmentation very well. Phytic is the most effective, but can cause allergies. Retinol requires caution when handling, as it can cause hyperpigmentation. The results can be easily assessed by comparing photos before and 7-10 days after peeling, or better yet, two weeks after the entire course of procedures.
