Although I have the NVQ2 in beauty I have never really used an acid peel exfoliant on a client - suppose I have always been used to the granular type exfoliants on my skin and have never used a professional skin care range that had the acid type in its range.
This will soon change in the next month or so and I am re-doing my homework from college and the different products that I havent used a great deal or for some time.
Now I know that the acid that is in these type of exfolients disolves the dead skin but why does this not disolve the good skin cells that are on the skin at the same time.
I have tried a low strength acid type peel - similar to the type that is available over the counter and cant say that I was impressed.
So how does the stronger professional only ones know how to just disolve the dead skin cells and not the good ones.
Apologies if you feel I should know this but it was one of those things in college that I just took as was the case without really knowing the reasons and the skin science behind it!
