The primary purpose of a lip peel is to exfoliate. Exfoliation is a process that involves mechanically or chemically removing a layer of dead cells from the skin's surface. If these cells do not fully detach, it can lead to the appearance of dry patches and flakes. Lip peels offer several benefits that we invite you to discover.
The exfoliating action of a peel allows it to remove impurities and dead skin, and stimulate cellular renewal at the lip level, which contributes to their densification. Additionally, the peel reduces irregularities, making the lips appear smoother. Regularly performing a peel also helps maintain plump lips in good health. Indeed, the smoother and softer the lips are, the more voluminous they seem. Subsequently, we recommend applying a lip balm to hydrate and nourish them. This treatment will also enhance the plump effect.
Some active ingredients used in the formulation of peels have the ability to stimulate micro-blood circulation. Efficient circulation allows the lips to maintain a lovely rosy color, while a slowdown in blood flow tends to make them appear bluish. On the other hand, by improving blood circulation, the distribution of nutrients through the blood becomes more efficient, which allows the lips to be properly nourished.
After applying a peel, the surface of the lips is unified, smoothed, and freed from dead cells present on its surface. It then becomes a favorable ground for the application of care or cosmetic products. Indeed, the repairing and nourishing active ingredients present in lip balms or masks are more readily absorbed by the lips when they are not covered by impurities. Moreover, using a scrub allows you to have a good base for your makeup. The application of lipsticks and glosses is indeed easier when done on a smooth and soft surface. Furthermore, this allows for a more uniform and longer-lasting result.
Some peels contain active ingredients that stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, components of the dermis that promote good structure, flexibility, and elasticity of the skin. This synthesis tends to decrease with age, which explains the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. On the lips, the development of slight vertical lines on their surface can be observed.
