Beauté Pacifique recently launched their unique Bio-Dermabrasion Peeling Wipes, which may just become one of your best friends in the pursuit of radiant skin – and we’re so looking forward to introducing them to you!
The Bio-Dermabrasion Peeling Wipes strengthen the skin’s barrier while gently removing dead skin cells, reducing fine lines and evening out skin tone and discolouration.
The result is smooth, soft skin with a radiant glow. The wipes each have two sides – a smooth side for gentle peeling and a rougher one for more intense peeling. And that lovely tingle in the skin after use is perfectly normal. Each box contains 30 peeling wipes, and you can use the peeling wipes 1-3 times a week as needed – even on sensitive skin. The Bio-Dermabrasion Peeling Wipes are also biodegradable – and, taken together with their new packaging, which is produced in PCR plastic, they represent at least a small step in the right direction of sustainability.
What are the key features and benefits of the Beaute Pacifique Bio Dermabrasion Peeling Wipes?
- Provides a swift and gentle, yet very effective exfoliation
- Leaves skin visibly smoother and softer with a radiant glow
- Easy to use
- No need to rinse
- Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
- Biodegradable wipes
- Double-sided wipes for either a gentle peel or a more intense peel
How to use Beauté Pacifique Bio-Dermabrasion Peeling Wipes
1. Cleanse your skin
You should always cleanse your skin before using your wipes. The first step in every skin-care routine should always be to cleanse the skin first with whatever cleansing product you prefer, whether it is a cleansing foam, cleansing milk or Micellar Water, for example.
2. Peeling, peeling, peeling
Once you have cleansed your skin, then it’s time to get on with the peeling. The peeling wipes feature two different sides for you to choose between: a smooth side for gentle peeling, and a rougher side for more intense peeling. They’re easy to use and you don’t need to rinse off afterwards. You can use your wipes 1-3 times a week according to need.
3. Now moisturise!
Now your skin is ready for your normal skin-care routine. The only question is if you want to apply a little serum before putting on your cream. What’s most important is that you give your skin plenty of moisture so it gets the proper care after peeling. In this way, you’ll achieve the optimal effect: smooth, radiant skin.
TOP TIP: Use of the peeling wipes can benefit your face, neck and décolleté, but avoid the eyes and lips, where the skin is more delicate.
Key Ingredients
- Niacinamide (also known as vitamin B3) is a unique skin-restoring ingredient that offers several benefits for the skin. It improves the skin barrier by boosting the skin’s natural production of skin-strengthening skin ceramides. It also improves the elasticity of the skin and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It rebalances uneven skin tone and reduces discolouration of the skin.
- Mandelic Acid is a mild alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) which gently exfoliates the skin. Compared to other AHA acids, it has a larger molecular size and therefore penetrates the skin more slowly, giving a much gentler but still effective exfoliation. Mandelic acid loosens the bonds that hold the dead skin cells firmly attached to the skin’s surface, thereby promoting the peeling process of the dead skin cells. Where other AHA acids can promote hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones, Mandelic acid does not.
- Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that has mild exfoliating properties. Its large molecular size allows it to penetrate the skin slowly, resulting in less irritation. In addition to exfoliating, gluconolactone also strengthens the skin as it also has moisturizing and anti-oxidant properties.
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (CSA) is a lipohydroxy acid (LHA) meaning it is fat-soluble. CSA is a salicylic acid derivative and has the same properties as salicylic acid but penetrates the skin deeper than AHA acids due to the fat solubility. However, CSA is gentler acting than salicylic acid as it penetrates the skin more slowly and it is therefore suitable for even sensitive skin. CSA promotes exfoliation of the dead skin cells by loosening the bonds between the cells. In addition, CSA stimulates cell renewal resulting in a more quick exchange to new skin surface cells.
- Alpinia Speciosa Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract – The Alpinia Speciosa plant is related to ginger and originates in tropical and subtropical parts of the world and is specifically harvested in Okinawa, Japan. The inhabitants of the Japanese island are especially known for their high life expectancy. Alpinia Speciosa Leaf Extract enhances the connection between the epidermis and the dermis by upregulating the production of several different connective tissues in the extracellular matrix, including elastin and collagen. The result is a smoother skin with more radiance.
- Caffeine is a strong anti-oxidant protecting the skin against damage caused by free radicals. Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, it also helps to soothe the skin and bring down any redness of the skin.
- Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract has astringent, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Its refreshing properties can reduce puffiness and relieve itching, as well as help to ease redness
- Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract has several beneficial properties which have a calming and preventive effect. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial effects. The ginger extract also protects the skin’s collagen, as it inhibits collagenase, which would otherwise degrade collagen.
- Allantoin has keratolytic and hydrating effects and results in silky-smooth and healthy skin. Allantoin stimulates cell renewal so new and fresh skin cells can replace the dead skin cells faster. Studies have also shown that allantoin has a calming effect and reduces water loss from the skin.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract is the extract from Liquorice Root. This is well known as a wound healing extract, helping to reduce irritation within the skin and providing instant comfort to sensitive skin. It enables the skin to accept strongly reacting ingredients with fewer side effects, enabling more effective ingredients to be tolerated by sensitive skin.
- Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract has a calming effect as it has anti-irritant and anti-itchy properties. Reduces redness and itching through inhibition of histamine and inflammatory neurotransmitters. The extract contains a number of different flavonoids and polyphenols with anti-oxidant properties. The main calming component of oats is a group of polyphenolic compounds called Avenanthramides, which have been shown to be very effective in calming the skin, even at very small concentrations.
