Herbal Peel

How does the Herbal Peel Mela White work?

• The herbal peel preparation is a compound of natural herbs. A special mixture of herbs is prepared just before treatment.
• Herbal peel contains a mixture of freshwater sponges and Laminaria. These are rich in vital nutrients, trace elements, mineral salts, proteins and vitamins.
• The herbs are manually massaged into the skin for a specific time suited to your skin type.
• The herbs remain in the skin for couple of days until the skin starts exxfolliating and regenerating.
• This increases blood circulation and dissolves the upper layers of the skin and slowing down melanin activity in the skin.
• After a number of treatments, pigmentation is removed and skin tone is more even.
