What really is skin peeling?
Skin Peeling is the process of shedding-off the top layer (epidermis) of our skin tissues. The word peeling is derived from the Latin word “Desquamare” which means to scrape-off. In the skin care industry, peeling is used for scrapping-off the top most layer of our skin to fix a particular skin problem or just to exfoliate the dead skin lying on the top most layer to reveal the new skin that is constantly produced by our skin cell.
