Peeling for the scalp. Recipes for hair loss, dandruff, oiliness, for growth, sensitive skin

Peeling is a cosmetic procedure to remove dead skin cells of the upper layer of the skin. The principle of action for the scalp remains the same as cleansing on any part of the body – there is a controlled damage and destruction of the upper layers of the skin, which leads to tissue regeneration.

Is scalp peeling useful

The benefits of cleansing the scalp are undeniable. Due to the mechanical and chemical effects on the skin of special products, deep cleaning of the pores and saturation of the tissues with oxygen take place, which has a beneficial effect on hair growth and helps strengthen them.

The main advantages of peeling:

• elimination of pollution;
• removal of a derivative of the sebaceous glands;
• elimination of residues of cosmetics;
• improved blood circulation;
• increased tone of the scalp;
• stimulation of cell metabolism;
• deep nutrition of hair follicles in the future;

  

• acceleration of hair growth.

Possible harm

Provided that the procedure is carried out correctly, it does not adversely affect the condition of the skin and hair. There is one drawback associated with the active work of the sebaceous glands.

By cleansing the skin of dead cells, peeling enhances trophism, which contributes to the significant production of subcutaneous fat. In this regard, the hair gets dirty faster and requires daily cleansing with shampoo and balm.

Contraindications to the procedure

Peeling for the scalp has some contraindications, which must be taken seriously.

These include:

• hypersensitivity of the scalp;
• the presence of microcracks and other damage to the skin;
• skin diseases: eczema, psoriasis;

Of all the possible options at home, mechanical and fruit peeling can be done. Mechanical peeling – cleansing the scalp with the use of abrasive particles (scrub or gannage). In addition to particulate matter, peels typically include vitamin and mineral complexes.

Therefore, the procedure not only cleans the upper stratum corneum, but also promotes deep skin nutrition. The procedure has the form of a relaxing head massage using a scrub that is rubbed into the area of the hair follicles.

Fruit peeling is classified as chemical. Its essence is the use of a mixture of fruit and synthetic acids, which gently affect the scalp and cleanse it. The mixture can be purchased at the store or prepared independently using gruel prepared from fruits.

Features of peeling by skin type

Choosing the type of peeling for dry skin type, it is worth giving preference to components that will not overdry it.

It should also be limited to the number of procedures performed. The procedure for owners of dry hair and skin is recommended to be performed no more than 1 time in 10 days. After the course, a two-month break is required and it can be repeated again.

Sensitive

For owners of sensitive scalp, it is necessary to be careful with the cleansing procedure. It is necessary to select the most gentle compositions of the peeling complexes so as not to harm the skin.

Most often, peels based on fruit acids or hardware peelings are used in a cosmetology salon. It is not recommended to carry out the procedure more often than 1 time per month.

With hyperkeratosis

Hyperkeratosis of the skin is a pathological thickening of the skin that occurs as a result of untimely exfoliation of dead cells. Peeling with hyperkeratosis should be more aggressive in order to achieve the maximum effect from the procedure.

Best of all, chemical peels cope with this purpose, the effect of which is similar to the natural regeneration process. Peeling gently but deeply affects the skin and helps to cleanse without risk of damage.
