“When I wear makeup, my sebum stands out and it bothers me.”

“How should I take care of tiny acne bumps?”

Many people experience white flakes once or twice a month, or worry about skin issues such as blackheads and small acne bumps.

Especially in spring, when the weather starts to warm up, sebum production increases while the skin can also become more sensitive, which often causes stress.

In this kind of state, when the skin is red and stinging, many people even feel hesitant about the peeling procedure itself.

However, peeling is a necessary step for skin care because it helps balance oil and moisture and clears away unnecessary dead skin cells.

That said, during sensitive periods, it is important to choose a method that is “hydrating and less irritating” rather than a peeling method with strong stimulation.

Today, we’ll take a closer look at Aqua Peel, a popular alternative.

The Principle and Effects of Aqua Peel

Aqua Peel is a treatment that cleans out pores using a device that sprays ingredients that dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, then suctions them out.

What makes Aqua Peel distinctive is that it is not just for dead skin care, but also provides “moisture replenishment.”

Aqua Peel is broadly divided into three steps.

First, AHA is water-soluble and helps gently dissolve dead skin cells on the skin’s surface.

It softens and removes the hardened buildup of dead skin cells, creating an environment where waste blocking the pores can be discharged more easily.

Next, BHA is an oil-soluble ingredient that penetrates deep into the pores and helps dissolve sebum and impurities.

After that, the device suctions out the dissolved waste and cleans up the inside of the pores.

The final step is moisture replenishment, which is the key part behind the name Aqua Peel.

While ordinary peeling focuses only on removing dead skin, Aqua Peel sufficiently supplies moisture in the finishing stage.

Because the skin immediately after peeling is in a state where moisture can easily evaporate, this process can help keep the skin hydrated and stabilize the oil-moisture balance.

The Treatment Interval and Precautions for Aqua Peel

After Aqua Peel, dead skin cells and waste are cleared away, and the skin may feel brighter and more hydrated.

However, if the oil-moisture balance is significantly disrupted, the effects may not last long with just one treatment.

In general, after about two weeks, dead skin may begin to build up again and skin texture may become rough.

For this reason, repeating the treatment every 2 to 3 weeks at the beginning can be helpful.

Once the skin condition stabilizes, it is appropriate to manage it every 4 weeks in line with the shedding cycle of dead skin cells.

Some people may feel satisfied with the results and want to have the treatment more often, but that can actually put stress on the skin.

Dead skin cells play an important role in protecting the skin from external irritation and preventing moisture loss, so removing too much of them can weaken the skin barrier.

If this condition is repeated, the skin can become even more sensitive and easily irritated, creating a vicious cycle, so please be sure to follow the proper interval.

Hongdae Aqua Peel is a treatment that combines the concepts of AQUA (water) and PEEL (exfoliation), and it is characterized by providing moisture while caring for dead skin.

Through the three-step process, waste is cleared from the skin surface and inside the pores, and moisture is added at the end to balance the oil and moisture levels.

However gentle the treatment may be, repeating it excessively can make the skin more sensitive, so

remember that it is most important to maintain the proper interval and continue consistent care^^
