Peeling Gels

Peeling gels are a type of gentle physical exfoliant used in K-Beauty skincare. They typically contain fruit enzymes or other mild acids that help to break down dead skin cells. Upon application, the gel binds to the dead skin cells, forming small clumps that are then rinsed off, leaving the skin smoother and brighter.

Peeling gels are favored in K-Beauty routines for their ability to gently exfoliate the skin without causing irritation or dryness. They help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, enhancing the skin's ability to absorb the beneficial ingredients from subsequent skincare products.

Generally, peeling gels are suitable for all skin types due to their gentle nature. However, they may be particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin that cannot tolerate harsher forms of exfoliation. As always, a patch test is recommended before using a new product.

Peeling gels are usually used after cleansing and drying the face. Apply a small amount to the skin and gently massage in a circular motion. The gel should start to form small clumps as it binds to dead skin cells. Rinse thoroughly and follow with the rest of your skincare routine.

Peeling gels can provide several benefits, such as gently removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and promoting skin brightness and smoothness. Regular use can help enhance the effectiveness of your skincare regimen by ensuring better absorption of subsequent products.

While peeling gels are gentler than many other exfoliants, they may not be suitable for daily use for everyone. The frequency should be determined by your skin's tolerance and needs. For most people, using a peeling gel once or twice a week should be sufficient.

Immediate benefits like smoother, brighter skin can often be seen after using a peeling gel. However, consistent use over time is key for maintaining these results and promoting overall skin health. Always remember to use a sunscreen after exfoliation, as it can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
