Venus Williams loves a good peel on her “b” side

If he’s not on clay playing tennis Venus Williams engages in experimenting with new beauty treatments and has recently discovered a method to make her skin super radiant. In a word glowing.

The athlete, who will turn 40 next June, said in the new issue of New Beauty Winter 2021: «Last year I had a wonderful body peeling. In the end my skin didn’t feel real. My dermatologist in New York has an amazing face and body peeling that exfoliates the skin on hands and feet.

And honestly it does the same on my butt too. I love to get a good treatment ».

«Prevention is everything for me. I love anything that helps produce more collagen. I prefer to do simple things like a Laser Genesis treatment, some infrared light therapy, constant exfoliation and peeling. Nothing crazy, but the kind of thing that transforms skin and makes it look fabulous. And if you continue the treatments with a routine at home it is surprising how effective it is.

The BODY PEELING
The benefits of a body exfoliation relate to the new brightness that it gains. Peels are treatments that must be done by a trusted dermatologist. It doesn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to perform in the studio, but it is important that it is conducted by a professional. It allows you to slowly remove the superficial layers of the skin and with them many imperfections, lighten the spots, reduce the surface micro-roughness, without causing important reactions. There are different types and can be divided into superficial, medium and deep.

“The superficial peeling it eliminates and renews the stratum corneum, the outermost part of the epidermis composed of devitalized cells. Normally this ‘shield’, which acts as a barrier against the aggression of external agents, is renewed every 28 days thus keeping the skin soft and radiant. Medium peeling exfoliates up to the innermost layer of the epidermis (the basal one that generates new cells) thus eliminating superficial wrinkles while the deep peeling it acts even more deeply helping to correct scars, acne marks and deep wrinkles ». The best time for any type of peel, it must be remembered, is in winter because the treatment requires the use of acids which can sensitize the skin.

If you want to do it yourself at home, the safest way is to choose a scrub that through a mechanical action helps to remove dead cells on the most superficial layer of the skin, perfect for stimulating circulation and promoting the brightness of the skin of the body.
