Peeling sensitive skin

Loads of people with sensitive skin will skip using a peeling because they’re scared it might negatively impact their skin. However using a chemical peeling is just as important for sensitive skin types as for any other skin. It’s just a matter of using the right peeling for your skin. We have created a special category to help people with sensitive skin choose the right peeling for their skin. Here we will help you understand what a peeling is, whether it’s safe for sensitive skin and what chemical peelings are the best choice for your skin.

What is a peeling?

A chemical peeling is a usually watery solution that helps unclog pores by removing dead skin cells that are on the top layer of the skin. By removing dead skin cells it stimulates your skin to create new cells, removes impurities and helps to reveal a more glowing skin.

Chemical peelings are infused with acids. The most known and used types of acids are AHA, BHA, and PHA. The different acids in the peelings also have different effects. BHA is best for people with oily and acne-prone skin since it better penetrates the skin and reduces inflammation as well as regulating the sebum production. Someone with dry skin might want to choose an AHA peeling because AHA’s are humectants, meaning they can retain moisture. When suffering from extremely sensitive skin a PHA peeling might be the answer to your worries. PHA is like the new sibling of the AHA acid. Because of the large size of PHA molecules they are very mild on the skin. Meaning that they don’t penetrate the skin as deeply but can still effectively get rid of dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin.

Overall, adding a chemical peeling into your routine can be the answer to a lot of your concerns. It’s just a matter of finding the right chemical peeling for your skin type, based on your needs. An important note to remember is to not overuse the chemical peeling. Start off with 1 to 2 evenings a week. Oily skin types might want to slowly increase use while sensitive skin types might want to stick to using the peeling twice a week.

Are chemical peels safe for sensitive skin?

Chemical peelings have a whole list of benefits for the skin. They can improve skin health by removing dead skin cells, unclog pores, improve wrinkles or hyperpigmentation, fight acne and more! AHAs and PHAs are both water soluble and work on the skin’s surface. Peelings with either of the acids help retain moisture, making them great for dry, sensitive and damaged skin.

Choosing the right gentle peeling for sensitive skin is key in achieving glowy and healthy skin. That’s why we advise to use an AHA or PHA peeling for your skin. These have all the benefits of a peeling and are safe to use for sensitive skin.

Peelings for sensitive skin come in different formats, from watery toners to pads infused with the peeling solution, or wash-off peeling gels.
