The doctor warned about the dangers of frequent peels

Peels help to get rid of keratinized skin cells, which is beneficial for our body, but excessive involvement in this procedure can cause significant harm to the skin. About this on August 21, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Anastasia Sokolova, a cosmetologist and dermatologist at SM-Cosmetology.

As the doctor noted, frequent peels lead to damage to the protective barrier of the skin, which can cause peeling, redness, acne, inflammation and other unpleasant consequences.

"The skin has a natural hydrolipidic barrier that protects against bacteria, dirt, and moisture loss. Too frequent peels thin this layer," Sokolova said.

In addition, according to the expert, summer peels can lead to pigmentation of the skin, and therefore to greater sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.

In addition, aggressive exfoliation, especially in the summer or without proper sun protection, can cause age spots. This is due to the fact that the skin becomes more vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation.

In addition to pigmentation, peels lead to premature skin aging.

In order not to harm the health of the skin, the cosmetologist recommended following the rules, using SPF protection and avoiding direct sunlight.
