What it is
ABR peeling in the field of cosmetology appeared relatively recently, but is already very popular among women who want to have well-groomed beautiful skin and look younger.
ABR peeling (Holy Land) is a new type of deep exfoliating procedure that is designed to combat pigmentation, acne, wrinkles and stretch marks of the skin.
Alpha, beta acids and retinol are used as active ingredients.
The secret to the success of such manipulation lies in the abbreviation, the decoding of which means “alpha-beta acids and retinol.” By observing strict proportions of these substances, the result does not take long to arrive.
ABR peeling contains vitamin A (retinol), which has a pronounced photosensitizing effect.
In other words, the procedure can only be performed in the autumn-winter period. You are also not allowed to visit solariums.Vitamin A is contraindicated for pregnant women, so during this period it is necessary to refrain from peeling.

Client reviews
Yulia, 23 years old: “I have oily skin type, enlarged pores and blackheads in the T-zone. On the advice of a cosmetologist, whom I regularly go to for cleanings, I underwent 4 procedures of Holy Land superficial fruit peeling over the winter. As a result, the skin is smoother, the pores are cleared and are less noticeable. I liked that the redness after the procedure only lasted for 3 hours. Now I maintain the result with the help of anti-comedogenic lotion Holy Land Super Lotion. I plan to carry out the procedure again next winter.”
Preparation
In order for a cosmetic procedure aimed at exfoliating dead cells to be carried out with the highest quality and with minimal side effects, it is necessary to properly prepare for it.
Before applying the chemical composition, a few days before the appointed date, the stratum corneum must be leveled. To do this, experts recommend that clients use special tools. Due to such procedures, the sensitivity of the skin to ABR preparations increases.

It is prohibited to carry out other exfoliating procedures less than a week in advance.
If there is a need to take any medications, you need to inform the cosmetologist about this in advance.
Execution steps
ABR peeling involves following a specially developed protocol. All actions must be performed in a strictly defined sequence.
First, the specialist must thoroughly clean the skin of decorative cosmetics, particles of dirt, dust, sebaceous secretions and other contaminants. To do this, he can use soap products, which usually contain ichthyol, sugar and azulene.
Next comes toning. The entire surface of the face, including the area of the eyelids and lips, is treated with a special lotion. This allows you to additionally provide the epidermis with the necessary amount of moisture.
After completing these manipulations, the peeling process begins. The chemical composition is applied to the face using a brush. It is not advisable for the drug to come into contact with the eyes or mouth area.
Peeling in spring and summer
Facial peeling belongs to the category of aggressive procedures associated with some trauma to the epidermis.
The distribution of the substance occurs in the following sequence - frontal part, temporal part, area behind the ears, neck, chin, cheeks, area between the nose and lip. Leave the solution for no more than five minutes.
After this, problem areas are re-treated. In this case, the drug should be applied for 20 minutes.
After the required time has passed, the remaining product is removed with a cotton pad, which is moistened in water.
Next, the neutralization process begins. It is necessary in order to eliminate the unwanted effects of acid on the skin. A special lotion is applied to the entire treated surface. During the same period, the cosmetologist can perform a light massage. After ten minutes, wash off the product with cool water.
To tighten pores and relieve inflammation, the specialist uses a mask that has a whitening and healing effect. After 20 minutes, it is washed off, and the surface of the epidermis is treated with Panthenol or azulene ointment.
At the final stage, a cream is applied to the skin, which not only provides the skin with additional hydration, but also helps prevent the formation of freckles and age spots.
Skin care after
Immediately after ABR peeling, patients may notice the appearance of peeling and redness of the skin. This condition is considered normal and disappears after 4-7 days. In order for the healing process to proceed as quickly as possible and with minimal complications, the skin requires special care during the post-peeling period.
Typically, overall recovery may take about a month. At this time, it is necessary to use moisturizing, regenerating, photoprotective, and antioxidant products. It is thanks to this approach that it is possible to normalize the regeneration of the skin at the cellular level.
The supply of sufficient moisture to the epidermal cells prevents its dryness and accelerates epithelization. For such purposes, cosmetologists advise using moisturizers that contain hyaluronic acid.
What peelings can be done in summer?
Peeling has long taken pride of place among skincare procedures.
In addition, to prevent the skin from losing moisture, it is recommended to use products such as Panthenol, shea butter and phospholipids, which restore the epidermal barrier.
Often, against the background of peeling, crusts begin to form on the surface of the skin. In no case should you tear them off yourself, which can only cause harm and increase the recovery period.
For one month, it is recommended to avoid saunas, steam baths, swimming pools, and going to the solarium. During this time, it is prohibited to sunbathe in open sunlight. Before going outside, you need to apply sunscreen to your face.
Until approximately 14 days after the exfoliating procedure, cosmetologists do not recommend using decorative cosmetics, which can prolong the healing process and provoke the emergence of new problems.
