One of the current popular rejuvenation procedures is peeling around the eyes. A certain part of girls and women resort to self-care for the skin around the eyes using massage or advertised creams, gels, capsules, serums, etc. But the massage must be performed correctly, and all cosmetics must be selected in accordance with age, skin type, and the nature of aging. It is better to contact a specialist with such questions.
Age is read by others from a person’s face. And it is precisely this that is subjected to various cosmetic procedures. First of all, the most delicate skin of the area around the eyes is affected by age. In the period from 20 to 25 years, the first wrinkles appear, which are called “facial wrinkles”. They are almost invisible in a relaxed state of the facial muscles. At 30 they become deeper. And at 35-40 they are clearly visible even with relaxed muscles. At 50 and older, wrinkles become especially deep, and drooping “bags” appear under the eyes. There is no escape from this, but it is quite possible that it can be delayed over time.
Indications and contraindications
Indications for peeling around the eyes are:
- pigmentation spreading under the eyes;
- network of fine wrinkles;
- swelling of the skin under the eyes;
- peeling around the eyes as a preparatory stage before plastic surgery.
Contraindications to peeling around the eyes are:

Opinion of cosmetologists
According to cosmetologists, peeling around the eyes eliminates fine wrinkles and increases skin elasticity. There are special formulations for this, but universal ones can be used.
The skin type and the problem that arises determine the choice of peeling. Expert advice will help you understand what type of cleansing will be most suitable.
The fight against aging is the main purpose of peeling. Cosmetologists recommend laser cleansing, which does not require long preparation and is effective. It is especially important for sensitive skin.
Experts believe that after 45 years of age, cleansing only eliminates fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid; Botox works better with deep wrinkles.

What are the different types of peeling around the eyes?
- Glycolic peeling - treatment of the areas around the eyes with fruit acids. Glycolic peeling has the most gentle effect on the skin and very rarely provokes the development of side effects. The glycolic acid preparation is applied strictly for a certain time, after which neutralization is carried out with a slightly alkaline solution. Glycolic peeling occurs without any unpleasant sensations, only in some cases there is slight redness around the eyes.
- Retinoic peeling - treatment of problem areas around the eyes with vitamin preparations. Retinoic peeling has the maximum antioxidant effect. Retinoic peeling is most often carried out in a salon, no more than once a month.
Sequence of actions of retinoic peeling:
- the skin is treated with exfoliating solutions;
- a product of retinoic, hyaluronic acid and other substances is applied;
- the composition is removed, the skin is treated with moisturizer.
Retinoic peeling is the most effective peeling for the area around the eyes.
- Laser peeling is one of the types of hardware rejuvenation procedures. An undeniable advantage of laser peeling is the ability to control the penetration of the laser beam and change the affected area. This rejuvenation procedure is carried out once or twice a year. The recovery period lasts no more than ten days, during which redness, peeling and slight swelling may appear on the skin around the eyes.
- Almond peeling involves the use of mandelic acid. Almond peeling has the most gentle surface effect due to the fact that lactic acid molecules are larger than those of glycolic acid.
- Milk peeling is performed using lactic acid. It is most suitable for particularly delicate, sensitive skin. Milk peeling helps to quickly eliminate pigmentation, a network of dilated capillaries, moisturize the skin and smooth out wrinkles.
- Yellow peeling is carried out regardless of the time of year. Its main advantage is the shortest possible rehabilitation period. Yellow peeling is often called a “weekend procedure.”
Paraffin procedure
Paraffin peeling is ideal for those who do not have enough time for salons, as this procedure can be easily performed at home. During the manipulation, some instructions should be taken into account:
- it is necessary to control the temperature of the paraffin, otherwise there is a risk of getting burned;
- After the procedure, staying outside is prohibited;
- It is recommended to carry out 10-15 procedures for the best results;
- contraindications must be taken into account.
