Peeling is one of the simplest and most effective cosmetic treatments. It consists in exfoliating dead epidermis cells, thanks to which the skin becomes cleansed, smoothed and generally more beautiful. Peelings are called by many "the secret of youth" because they remove old, damaged epidermis and stimulate the formation of new, healthier skin cells.
There are as many as five types of skin peels. Each of them is characterized by a different action and intensity of effects. Mechanical peeling is the most popular and most frequently used, especially in home care. Also known as "scrub". It consists in rubbing off the upper layers of the epidermis with special exfoliating particles - all kinds of sea salts, ground coffee beans, spirulina and others.
A much milder option for the skin is an enzyme peeling, which instead of particles has in its composition special enzymes of natural origin, e.g. obtained from various types of fruit. We can come across cosmetics with enzymes of tropical fruits, such as mango, kiwi, papaya or pineapple, much more often. However, you do not need to look for them in the tropics, our Polish raspberries also have an enzyme that can exfoliate the epidermis.
However, if we want to focus on an effective, long-lasting effect, we should go to a beauty salon for a chemical peel. Acids are used to make it. The type and intensity of a given acid should be adjusted individually to the customer's needs. Chemical peeling should be performed by specialists who can ensure complete safety of the treatment and an excellent effect.
The other two, definitely less known types of peels are gommage peeling, popular mainly in Asia, and herbal peeling, which if done poorly, can severely irritate the skin and therefore can only be carried out in beauty salons.
Peeling is an excellent way to renew and rebuild the epidermis. External factors, such as: polluted air, strong wind, frost or sun, destroy the outer layer of the skin. Damaged epidermis is gray, dry, lacking vitality and shine. That is why it is so important to use peels regularly, which help the skin to regenerate, especially after difficult winter and summer periods.

In addition to comprehensive regeneration, peeling is a great way to deeply cleanse the skin, which then more easily and effectively absorbs the necessary nutrients. Peeling is therefore a great base for further treatments to improve the appearance and condition of the skin. An example of this is the HydraFacial treatment, during which GlySal acid peeling is performed before the introduction of active substances into the skin, thanks to which the skin absorbs the given substances better.
Nice Spa offers many different peels, these are mainly mechanical peels, performed during or before cosmetic treatments, or during a massage, and chemical peels, performed by qualified people with the necessary experience.
Mechanical peeling consists in intensive abrasion of the top layer of the epidermis with fine grains with exfoliating properties. They can be coarse grains, best for oily skin and body skin - then we are dealing with a coarse-grained peeling; or tiny, fine substances suitable for normal and combination skin, which we call fine-grained peeling. The exfoliating material can be of natural or synthetic origin and take the form of, for example, sea salt, sugar, finely ground coffee beans, spirulina and much more. The peeling treatment is performed with the use of intense, circular movements of the hands, wiping the dead epidermis off the skin surface.
Mechanical peeling will allow for deep cleansing of the top layer of the skin of all toxins and bacteria. The old, damaged epidermis will be removed and built up with a new one. After such treatment, the skin will become velvety smooth and ready for further care. A cleansed, healthy skin will be more oxygenated, and thus, it will be easier to absorb the nutrients applied to it.
This type of peeling is recommended especially for people who struggle with oily and combination skin types, but who also benefit from normal skin. For sensitive and couperose skin, it is advisable to use more delicate forms of peels, such as e.g. enzyme peeling. Systematic application of mechanical peels reduces the secretion by the sebaceous glands, the so-called sebum, thanks to which the skin is less sweating, does not glow, stays fresh and nourished for longer. In addition, mechanical peeling smoothes the surface of the skin, which becomes softer and more elastic, which is what every woman wants.
Already after the first application of the peeling, the skin is visibly smoother, healthier and radiant. Thanks to the continuous stimulation of circulation during this procedure, it also becomes more flexible and looks younger. Nutrients and various essential oils, contained in most of the scrubs at Nice Spa, give the skin softness, freshness and a beautiful fragrance. The whole procedure is therefore a pleasure for both the body and the soul.
It is worth exfoliating the epidermis regularly, not only in a beauty salon, but also at home. Treat yourself to a spa at home with the Zen Collection body scrub. This peeling will nourish and soothe your tired skin with the best natural ingredients such as Dead Sea salt, ground green coffee, Shea butter, sweet almond oil and many other nourishing substances. We also recommend other cosmetics from the Zen Collection series, you can find them all in the Nice Spa store.
Nice Spa offers its clients a wide range of facial beauty treatments, including chemical peels, which are very popular. This treatment is relatively simple, but should be performed by qualified personnel, because too much acid or improper treatment can cause severe skin burns.
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments involving the application of specially selected chemical compounds to the skin, most often acids, with strong exfoliating properties. The biggest advantage of acids is that, unlike mechanical peels, acids can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. So they do not only work on its surface, but get inside. Various types of acids are used during this procedure, each of them has different properties. TCA acid is perfect for people struggling with oily, acne-prone skin. Lactic acid will help reduce wrinkles and give the skin elasticity. On the other hand, glycolic acid stimulates the activity of fibroblasts, which delays the aging process of the skin.
Chemical peels are hugely popular because they have countless benefits. Acids are extremely effective, and at the same time minimally invasive, and quite cheap. The main effect of the treatment with the use of chemical peels is strongly exfoliated dead skin. The skin becomes cleansed both inside and out. Discoloration disappears, the skin becomes brighter and more radiant. In addition, many acids stimulate the natural processes of collagen and elastin production, as well as the activity of fibroblasts or the flow of fluids in the connective tissue of the skin, which increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin. In addition, glycolic acid and lactic acid have strong moisturizing properties.
Chemical peels are intended for people who have problems with oily, dull skin, with acne lesions or scars. It will also work well among mature people who want to keep the skin young, reduce wrinkles and tighten and firm the skin. It is also worth starting the acid treatment early enough to prevent the effects of skin aging at an early stage. This treatment is also recommended as a regeneration for the skin after a cold winter or sunny summer.
The effects of using chemical peels are stunning after the first treatment, and each subsequent treatment maintains and intensifies this effect. The skin becomes smooth, cleansed, wrinkles and discoloration are reduced. The skin is firm and elastic. The result is a new, healthier skin, free from blackheads, excessive seborrhea and other acne lesions.
Peeling, both mechanical and chemical, helps to maintain a beautiful and healthy appearance of the skin of the face and the entire body, primarily by exfoliating dead epidermis and stimulating its reconstruction processes. The saying that peels help to delay the aging process is correct. Mechanical peels offered at Nice Spa are available primarily during relaxing rituals, often combined with a massage. Chemical peels, on the other hand, are professional cosmetic treatments performed by our specialists. The spring period is the perfect time to regenerate our epidermis after a cold winter through peels and prepare it for the sunny summer.
