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. Our favorite is the Rapidex® peel with marine ingredients. This unique product is packed in single-use applicators, which ensures maximum purity and precise acid concentration. How to use it? Simply apply to cleansed skin in the evening and let it work. Order the Rapidex® peel in our e-shop and you will feel the difference after just a few applications. > Pro tip: When using acid peels, never forget quality sun protection during the day. Mineral Face Shield® creates a perfect barrier against city smog and sunlight. ## How to get started? If you are not sure if your skin is suitable for more intensive acid treatments, check out our products or book an appointment online for a skin diagnostic. We would be happy to help you find the path to smoother, healthier skin. If you are looking for a gift for someone struggling with a similar problem, a gift voucher for a treatment is a great solution. Follow us regularly for more tips on our blog about proper skin care.
