Move over plastic surgery. Did you know that your complexion can benefit dramatically from a peel procedure that makes use of natural ingredients? Ana Engelbrecht of Anaclinical explains the beauty of natural peel reactions.
Skin peels have been used since time memorial to bring out the best beauty blush. These procedures were first used thousands of years ago and their popularity persists today.
THE HISTORY
Superficial skin peeling dates back to Ancient Egyptian times, when Cleopatra (69 BC to 30 BC) bathed in sour milk to exfoliate her skin and reduce wrinkles, thereby improving her appearance. That long ago, the Egyptians knew that when milk sours, the milk sugar, lactose, is converted by bacteria into lactic acid. When alpha hydroxy acids, such as lactic acid, are applied to the skin, they cause the surface layer to peel off and reveal the smoother, blemish-free skin that lies underneath.
Then, between 27 BC and 1 453 AD, the Romans took a fancy to bathing in fermented wine (i.e. tartaric acid). Now well known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as being an acidifier, flavour-enhancer, stabiliser and sequestering agent, the Ancient Romans had somehow discovered fermented wine’s ability to soften and rejuvenate the skin.
