Keratosis & Uneven Skin: Stop Scrubbing, Start Exfoliating

If you feel bumps, small blemishes, or rough patches that do not disappear with regular washing, you are likely struggling with keratosis or increased skin keratinization. In an attempt to smooth the surface, many people reach for abrasive, harsh scrubs. However, at our salon, just you - beauty by Gabriello, we see the opposite effect. Scrubbing causes micro-traumas and activates the skin's defense mechanism, which responds to the irritation by producing an even thicker horny layer. ## Why manual scrubbing does not work Keratin is the protein that forms the outer layer of your skin. When the process of its natural shedding slows down, dead cells accumulate in the pores. Physical rubbing not only irritates the surface but often spreads bacteria. If you are looking for professional skin care in Bratislava, our method is based on enzymatic and chemical dissolution rather than mechanical abrasion. ## Chemical peel: The key to smooth skin At our salon, we work with advanced systems that can disrupt intercellular bonds in the thickened layer. Chemical peeling is nothing to fear. In the hands of an expert, it is a tool that dissolves the skin's surface without damaging the healthy barrier. Our premium cosmetics from REPÊCHAGE use the power of seaweed, which provides hydration in addition to exfoliation. ### Professional solution for your skin As part of our services, we recommend targeted treatments that even out the skin surface: | Treatment | Main Benefit | Suitable For | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | JALUPRO Glow Peel | Deep renewal | Uneven texture | | I'M PURE Intensive Regeneration | Calming and nourishment | Sensitive, rough skin | | Deep pore cleansing | Removal of comedones | Clogged pores | Book a consultation at our salon and let an expert assess the condition of your skin. ## Home care: Rapidex® and the power of the sea To maintain the results from the salon, you need a home product that works for you while you sleep.
