Everything you need to know about scrub, gommage, and peeling

As part of your weekly skincare routine, most experts advise exfoliating your face and body skin regularly. Exfoliation allows us to remove dead cells present on the surface for a more radiant and healthy complexion. Suitable for all skin types, even the most delicate, the only recommendation is to avoid harsh ingredients that can cause irritation and redness. It can happen that when the skin feels attacked by harmful chemicals, would tend to produce more sebum to protect itself. This is the so-called rebound effect. Your skin can be treated instead with the Active Beauty Limited Edition collection by Terme di Saturnia Beauty & Health, tailored for those who believe in positive beauty and healthy routines that respect the skin’s natural balance. Let us emphasize the characteristics and differences between scrub, gommage, and peeling.

Scrub or gommage, that’s the question

The scrub is the most commonly used for peeling off dead epidermal cells. This gentle form of exfoliation, based on vegetable micro granules, can have either gel or cream texture and is ideal for dry, combination, oily skin, and acne. Applying soothing skincare products made from natural and quality ingredients, like Acid Cream pH 5.5 by Terme di Saturnia Beauty & Health, is a great way of taking care of and at the same time protecting your skin. Rich in botanical AHA complex from extracts of fruits, it reduces the pH thanks to its acidic nature and removes cells without irritating the skin, for a more bright and more hydrated look. Other top picks are the Thermal Body Scrub and Moisture-Rich Elasticizing Oil, which completes the natural process of cellular regeneration of your body. While sea salt stimulates skin turnover, the blend of precious eudermic oils repairs the skin, improving its elasticity and firmness.

An alternative for exfoliating your skin is the gommage, which returns minimal risk irritation and helps promote an instant glow. Approved for very sensitive skin, it has much smaller micro granules than scrubs and boasts of a more effective e moisturizing action, due to specific substances and nourishing vegetable oils. The white clay of the Glow Mask, for example, can improve cell renewal, in addition to purifying and micro-exfoliating. In minutes, it visibly smooths the appearance of the skin tone.

How enzyme peel really work

If you can’t find the advantages of mechanical peeling, other methods can be used, such as the enzyme peel, which requires beauty specialists in order to perform professional treatments on the skin. This effective method, different from the chemical peel, utilizes fruit and vegetable enzymes, to gently remove dead skin cells and provide a noticeably smooth complexion. In addition, it combats the large pores and impurities of oilier skin, as well as wrinkles, signs of aging, and dark spots from sun exposure. As a consequence, it increases the absorption of your next skincare products.

The Thermal Enzymatic Peeling by Terme di Saturnia Beauty & Health offers many benefits such as advanced skin refining and improved blood circulation. Using this gel-based peel consistently helps to revive your skin tone, as a result of the enzymatic activity of proteases produced by a process of fermentation.
