After summer, skin suffers the consequences of prolonged exposure to sun, salt, chlorine and other external factors. These not only cause a loss of hydration, but also a build-up of dead cells on the skin's surface. As an aesthetics professional, at the start of each season it's key to offer treatments that don't just repair the skin, but also prepare it for the seasons ahead. In this context, exfoliation becomes an essential step for cleansing, renewing and revitalising damaged skin.
Exfoliation treatments have long been a cornerstone of facial care protocols, but techniques are now evolving towards more advanced methods that not only remove impurities but also offer a rejuvenating experience. One of the trends in this area is Twiceeling, an innovative double-exfoliation technique recommended by cosmetologists that has gained popularity for its exceptional results in facial cleansing and rejuvenation.
1. What is Twiceeling?
Twiceeling is a double exfoliation treatment that combines two methods: physical exfoliation and chemical exfoliation. This technique allows for a deep cleanse of the skin, removing dead cells from the surface and encouraging cell renewal at deeper levels. Physical exfoliation works through particles, such as salt or sugar, which, through manual friction, lift away and remove dead cells. Chemical exfoliation, on the other hand, is carried out with acids or enzymes, such as lactic or glycolic acid, which dissolve the bonds holding dead cells together on the surface, without the need for massage or mechanical friction. Both techniques complement each other in "twiceeling" to offer a more complete and effective exfoliation.
The key to Twiceeling's success lies in its ability to noticeably improve skin texture without being an invasive procedure.
2. Double exfoliation: benefits and advantages
Twiceeling offers multiple benefits for your clients:
- Deep, effective exfoliation: By combining physical and chemical techniques, Twiceeling allows for more effective removal of dead cells and residue from the skin.
- Improved skin texture and tone: This treatment reduces the appearance of imperfections, spots and fine lines, leaving the skin with a more even texture.
- Improves the absorption of treatments applied afterwards.
- Accelerated cell renewal: Chemical exfoliation stimulates cell renewal, promoting fresher, healthier-looking skin.
- Non-invasive with no downtime: It's a relatively quick, comfortable procedure with no need for recovery time, making it ideal to include in your clients' regular facial care routines.
3. Why include Twiceeling in your salon?
If you own a beauty salon or work as an aesthetics professional, Twiceeling is the service you should add to your menu. Not only does it follow the current trend, it also delivers visible results from the very first session, boosting your clients' satisfaction.
What's more, since it's a technique that addresses multiple skin needs in a single session, it's highly efficient. This lets you make the most of your time as a professional and offer a premium service that can attract new clients looking for fast, effective skincare solutions.
4. Twiceeling procedure: key steps
The Twiceeling procedure can be adapted to different skin types, but it follows a basic outline that ensures its effectiveness:
- Initial deep cleanse: Make-up is removed and the skin is cleansed to lift surface impurities using specific products.
- Physical exfoliation: Start with physical exfoliation to remove dead cells from the surface. The chosen product is applied to the skin with gentle circular movements over the whole face (avoiding the eye contour area); the product is then removed with a towel dampened with warm water and the skin is patted dry. The skin is now ready for chemical exfoliation.
- Applying acid (chemical exfoliation): At this step, it's worth choosing the most suitable product based on skin type. We recommend some products in the next section. The product is applied to the skin, spreading it with a fan-shaped brush. It's left to work for the time indicated by the manufacturer. Some of these chemical exfoliants require a neutraliser to be applied before being removed with water.
- Hydration and protection: Finally, hydrating and protective products are applied to soothe the skin and protect it from external factors.
As a professional, it's important to assess each skin type before carrying out the treatment, so you can adjust the products and chemical concentrations to each client's specific needs.
4. Recommendations for professionals
As an aesthetics professional, it's essential to master the different exfoliation techniques and understand how and when to apply each one. When adding Twiceeling to your beauty salon, make sure to follow these key recommendations:
- Training and knowledge: Before offering this treatment, make sure you get proper training on the products you're going to use and how to apply them in each case.
- Personalising the treatment: Not all skin reacts the same way to chemical products, so it's crucial to personalise the treatment's intensity according to each client's characteristics.
- Aftercare: Advise your clients on using specific products to protect their skin in the following days, such as suitable sunscreens and moisturisers.
