 What's a Fruit Acid and Facial Peel?
Fruit acid and facial peel is a type of treatment that rejuvenates the skin. Fruit acid is a "type of alpha hydroxy acid." These acids can be found in different acne treatments and anti-aging products. Fruit acid originates in diverse types of fruits such as apples, pears, oranges, lemons, and grapes. Apples and pears have malic acid, oranges and lemons have citric acid, and grapes have tartaric acid. Moreover, sugarcanes have a type of acid known as glycolic acid, but this isn't considered a fruit acid.
Fruit acid and facial peel work by penetrating the skin and breaking apart the "uppermost" layer of it. By doing this, fruit acid and facial peel removes the dead and damaged skin. Furthermore, it exposes a new layer of skin that's healthier. Overall, fruit acid and facial peel is an exfoliating treatment. The amount of shedding depends on the AHA concentration a fruit has. This treatment is recommended for people with oily skin.
You can find DIY or professional fruit acid and facial peels. Professional peels are usually stronger and can last about an hour. A dermatologist will clean your skin and later apply the fruit acid concentration. These peels are not painful at all. DIY is done by applying a fruit-based peel or products with fruit acid.
Fruit acid and facial has many benefits. According to LIVESTRONG: "AHA peels encourage cell turnover to help fade surface imperfections, fine lines, and wrinkles associated with aging skin." This treatment boosts the production of collagen and cleans the excess of sebum.
Your skin might look slightly red and dry after applying a fruit acid and facial peel. Don't worry; this is part of the treatment. If you feel any discomfort during this facial, talk to your dermatologist or stop using the product.
