Passion for chemical peels designed to rejuvenate the skin is dangerous for immunity. Israeli scientists from the University of Haifa made this disappointing conclusion.
The experts analyzed data on the immune system of women, who often use chemical peels and those who do not. The antibody of women in the first group was markedly reduced, and this means resistance to infectious and viral diseases was also lowered.
The doctors attribute this to the fact that chemicals for skin peeling remove the skin upper layers and penetrate very deeply. Thus, they irritate the surface of the dermis and destroy cellular structures. Microbes attack the organs of lymphatic system, and the organs find it difficult to resist under a reduced immunity. Therefore, a regular use of chemical peels leads to the occurrence of various diseases.
