Vegetal peeling: skin regeneration and nutrition |

After enjoying the summer intensely, it’s important to pay special attention to our skin, as exposure to the sun can cause dehydration and dryness. Vegetable peeling, also known as gumming or gommage, is an aesthetic treatment that aims to remove dead cells and impurities from the most superficial layer of the skin, bringing brightness and improving its texture.

The technique also provides better absorption of products used after exfoliation, preparing the skin for other aesthetic procedures, such as depilation and skin cleansing.

How is done?

First, clean with a specific soap for each skin type, and then apply the exfoliating product evenly to the area to be treated. After drying – which takes approximately two minutes – the exfoliation process begins, with circular movements and light pressure, followed by rinsing with warm water. After complete removal of the product, it is important to moisturize the skin and use a sunscreen.

After the total removal of the product, it is important to moisturize the skin and use a sunscreen.

This procedure can be performed on the face and body by beauticians, physiotherapists and doctors.

Assessing your skin type and choosing the right products makes all the difference in the effectiveness of the method.
