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 do not completely detach, it can lead to the appearance of dry patches and flakes. Lip peels offer several benefits to the lips that we invite you to discover.
The exfoliating action of the peel therefore allows it to remove impurities and dead skin, and stimulate cellular renewal at the lip level, which contributes to their densification. Furthermore, the peel reduces irregularities and the lips appear smoother. Finally, performing a peel regularly also helps to maintain plump lips and keep them healthy. Indeed, the smoother and softer the lips are, the more voluminous they appear. Subsequently, we advise you to apply 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 have a lovely rosy colour, while a slowing of the blood tends to make them bluish. On the other hand, by improving blood circulation, the distribution of nutrients by the blood becomes more efficient, which allows the lips to be properly supplied.
Following the application of a peel, the surface of the lips is unified, smoothed, and freed from dead cells present on its surface. This then provides a favourable environment for the application of skincare or cosmetic products. Indeed, the nourishing and repairing active ingredients found in lip balms or masks are more readily absorbed by the lips when they are not covered in 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 long-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 striations on their surface can be observed.
