Coral peeling: what is it and how to care for your face after?

Skin peeling is a mandatory cosmetic procedure for a modern woman. One of its popular species is coral, which is distinguished by its unusual composition and long-lasting effect.

Peeling is the most popular and fastest procedure for removing dead skin cells. On average, skin cell renewal takes up to 30 days, but due to many negative factors, this process can take time. Coral peeling allows you to not only remove dead cells and make wrinkles less noticeable, but also start the production of collagen. So the body responds to skin microtraumas that occur during this procedure.

The technology of coral peeling is a mechanical cleansing of the skin of the face with the help of natural ingredients, where the main component are particles of coral. In terms of effectiveness, it is also compared with diamond peeling. Only peeling with corals can be regulated, since the depth of penetration of particles and skin cleansing depend on their quantity and time of the procedure. Therefore, this type refers to surface or middle peeling, where the degree of exposure is chosen by the client.

The procedure for cleaning the face with coral particles is absolutely safe, since The main components of such a drug are the following substances.

• Particles of coral, crushed to a powder. Red Sea corals are popular for their healing and cleansing properties. Coral microparticles remove the surface layer of dead cells and penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, thereby cleaning the pores.
• Dead Sea salts act not only as abrasive particles, but also as carriers of micronutrients for the skin. Thanks to salts, blood flow improves, blood vessels become stronger and cell renewal occurs faster.
• Essential oils, including shea butter, which is known for its nutritional properties. This component allows you to saturate the skin cells with useful elements and vitamins. Thanks to oils, blood circulation is accelerated, metabolism is regulated.
• Plant components, which include algae extract. The main role of this extract is skin rejuvenation, as it includes antioxidants. In general, plant-based ingredients are involved in skin repair, help strengthen skin cells and prevent inflammation.

The natural composition allows you to use the procedure for women of any age and with any type of skin. Peeling is useful for sagging skin, "stale" complexion and enlarged pores. It also helps to cope with facial wrinkles, scars and age spots.

This procedure allows you to normalize the sebaceous glands, thereby reducing the appearance of acne and blackheads.

It is worth abandoning the procedure during the season of the most active sun (spring-summer period). The skin has a protective mechanism against aging, but this requires a thickened upper layer of the skin. During peeling, it is removed, and the skin becomes most vulnerable to ultraviolet light.

To minimize vulnerability and the photoaging process, this procedure should be carried out in the winter season. The sun is not so active, which means that the risk of complications is minimal. That is why competent cosmetologists do not recommend carrying out the procedure in the summer, despite the use of protective creams from ultraviolet radiation.

As with any procedure, coral peeling has a number of limitations.

Do not carry out this procedure with the following problems.

• There is rosacea, that is, the presence of so-called vascular asterisks. If you conduct a coral procedure in the process of exacerbation of the disease, then you can make the vessels even more susceptible to adverse environmental factors. Therefore, such a procedure is recommended to be done only in remission and after a thorough examination by a doctor.
• Demodecosis or a disease associated with the presence of a subcutaneous tick. As a rule, these parasites live at the mouth of the sebaceous glands, and after peeling their mass reproduction and distribution over all areas of the face occurs.

• Herpes. Regardless of the place of manifestation: on the mucous membrane or on the skin, the procedure should be carried out no earlier than six months after the exacerbation. If there is an urgent need for peeling, if an insignificant time has passed after the treatment of herpes, it is necessary to take antiviral drugs. Experts recommend starting to take them 1-1.5 weeks before the expected date of the procedure.
• Pregnancy, feeling unwell. The process of cleansing the skin with corals is painful. Therefore, it is not known how the body will respond to pain.Even after the procedure, you will have to endure discomfort for several days.
• The presence of wounds on the skin or a weak pain threshold of the skin.
• Individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

Coral peeling is less traumatic for the skin than similar procedures, but experts do not recommend conducting it at home. Such a procedure has nuances on which the quality of the result depends. First of all, it is necessary to consult a competent doctor who will examine the skin, if necessary, conduct the necessary tests and talk about the future result.

Only then should you sign up for the procedure. The choice of a beauty salon should also be taken more carefully, since not only the appearance, but also the health of the body as a whole depends on the quality of the procedure done.

In general, salon peeling consists of three main stages.

About a month before the procedure, a salon specialist conducts soap peeling. This allows you to improve blood circulation, stimulate the process of cell renewal and, of course, remove the surface layer of "dead" cells. This stage can significantly reduce the risk of further complications. In some stores, this process is carried out immediately before the procedure itself.

At this stage, the specialist examines the skin and selects the necessary tool to remove makeup, sebum, dust and dirt. After this, steam skin treatment is carried out. This is done to open the pores and soften the skin.

Only after this, the doctor applies a peeling agent to the face using a special device or hands. At the same time, the patient chooses the time and intensity of rubbing the composition himself. On average, the main stage lasts 4-10 minutes. At this time, coral particles and salt remove the dead layer of cells, and the plant extracts and oils that make up the peeling nourish and saturate the cells with vitamins. Then the scrub is removed, and a napkin dipped in cold water is applied to the skin, since the cold allows you to remove irritation and pain.

After cooling, masks are applied. The first mask is applied for 10-15 minutes for better retention of coral particles in the skin, and, consequently, a more effective effect. The next mask is applied with slightly patting movements until completely absorbed. The main goal of this process is to protect the skin from negative environmental factors, including ultraviolet rays. In addition to protection, the components of the gel mask have a lifting, nourishing and moisturizing effect.

The final stage includes applying a special cream that stays overnight. Its components help soothe irritated skin and reduce pain from the procedure.

Since such a peeling cannot be attributed to a sparing look, it is often not recommended to conduct it. Perform the following procedures only a month after the first peeling. At the end of the coral procedure, the skin recovers up to two weeks, and in some cases this time increases to three weeks.

Peeling with coral particles is often considered the safest procedure, but complications sometimes occur.

• Pustular rash. If after the procedure such a rash appeared on the face, then, most likely, the technique of applying peeling was violated. At the same time, bacteria managed to get on the skin, which provoked a rash. An underestimation of the severity of the disease or poor skin care after the procedure could also serve as such a side effect. Another factor that triggered the appearance of a rash may be a weakening of the immune system. As a rule, such a rash goes away without medical treatment, but creams with vitamin B5 can be used to speed up recovery.
• Exacerbation of herpes. This could be due to the carelessness of both the patient and the specialist. Since herpes can also develop on the oral mucosa, which is not always noticeable. With an active form of herpes, this procedure is contraindicated.
• The appearance of pigmentation. This complication could result from exposure to the sun without a protective cream. Another reason is an individual reaction to peeling. In the second case, all types of peelings are contraindicated.

After such a rather painful procedure as coral peeling, it is necessary to allow the skin to fully recover. To do this, on the first day you can’t contact with water, any physical activity and frequent contact with the face are prohibited. According to reviews, the first two days you can feel severe pain and burning, since the peeling particles remained on the surface of the skin and continue to cleanse it. On the second day, the skin may turn red. The degree of severity of color depends on the type of skin and the intensity of the procedure.

Some also note a feeling of tightness of the skin. It passes by itself within a couple of days. In this case, it is not recommended to use creams or fat emulsions. They are unlikely to remove the feeling of tightness, and they can bring bacteria. To prevent bacteria from entering, it is recommended to change the bed linen every time before going to bed, and also treat the pillowcase with steam during two days.

As patients note, after tightness, peeling of the skin begins, the degree of which is also individual. At this time, it is strictly forbidden to rip off the scales, as this can harm the update process. To alleviate this condition, you can use aqueous concentrates and serums for the face. Starting from the second day, you can wash your face and do it better with a solution of chamomile. Within five to seven days, it is necessary to completely exclude physical activity, visiting a bath or sauna, pool and water.

An important part of post-peeling care is the use of sunscreen with SPF 50. It must be applied every time you go out, regardless of the time of year when the procedure is done.

Numerous reviews and photos before and after the procedure make sure the effectiveness of this peeling. Its undoubted advantage is the individual choice of the degree of exposure to the skin. So, for easy cleansing and improving skin color, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for no more than two minutes. To smooth out small irregularities in the skin and support overall tone, the procedure should last no more than 3-4 minutes.

To get rid of fine wrinkles, lighten the skin and reduce pigmentation, you need to spend up to 7 minutes. If you need a deeper cleansing to get rid of wrinkles, acne or with the aim of rejuvenation, then you should spend up to 10 minutes.
