Mechanical peeling with honey and almonds

Katka was thirty four years old, and since January she had been going to work wearing a mask, not the protective kind, but the one she applied to the enlarged pores around her nose. She said she felt oily and dull at the same time, which sounded odd until I looked closely: skin full of blackheads, yet dry on the cheeks, the classic picture of combination skin after a winter spent in an air conditioned office. She had stopped wearing brightening makeup, because after a few hours it looked like just another mask on top, and she simply deleted the photos from company events.

At her first visit we did a thorough skin analysis, and I reached for the mechanical peel with honey and almonds from the REPÊCHAGE Hydra Medic line. I explained to her that the thick paste with oat granules and almond flour does not create microtears the way cheaper scrubs do, it only gently removes dead cells and clears clogged pores exactly where she needed it. After three weeks, using the peel twice a week at home and once with us as a ten minute deep mask, her skin visibly evened out: the blackheads around her nose receded, and her cheeks no longer felt tight. At her last treatment she simply told me that she had finally taken a selfie without a filter, and she did not delete it.

In practice, this peel works best in the evening, after thorough makeup removal, when the skin is clean and ready to absorb the active ingredients. At home we apply it in a thin layer to damp skin, massage gently in circular motions for one to two minutes, and leave it on for another three minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. It is used twice a week, never on irritated or cracked skin. In the salon we apply it as a ten minute deep mask, with gentle steam that opens the pores and enhances the effectiveness of the oat granules and almond flour. Afterward the skin is not tight or red, only gently warmed and smooth to the touch, exactly the way Katka had learned to appreciate her skin again after years.

How many more seasons do you want to spend hiding behind a mask that is not your own? Every month you postpone caring for clogged pores is a month in which your skin loses its natural glow, and you lose the desire to look at your own photograph without hesitation.
