Aethetician, make-up artist, and all things beauty- obsessed, “I am THE Makeup Junkie”‘s Marie has a lot of knowledge to impart and one of them is about peels. In fact there will be another post that talks about peels more in depth.
Glow Baby Glow by I Am THE Makeup Junkie.
Let me tell you something. I like peels. I love the idea of putting acid on my face and having layers of old, dead skin peel off to reveal youthful glowy skin underneath. How fun is that? I have normal skin that is not sensitive and can in summer be a little more oily in the T-Zone. So, I like to go full force with as much product as I can and peel away!
Currently I use a number of different things. I did find this site called Makeup Artist’s Choice that has cosmetics and skincare. Now I will tell you this. I am an esthetician and I am able to purchase their products without proof of a license and they have some products (like the Jessner’s peel and TCA peel) that should only be used by a professional. So, either these products are not professional strength or they are skirting the law. Hmmm…
In my last order, I bought the 40% Lactic Acid (1 oz. $33.75). I feel I can use this kind of product fairly easily so it isn’t an issue for me. I cleansed my face with my wonderful Clarisonic (another topic for a blog), dried, used the Prep Solution, and waited for it to be very dry and not damp. I then applied the peel with a cotton swab to my entire face. I really want to work on my T-Zone, since it is oilier, so I applied twice there. Then I, and this is kicker, left it on. I did not wash it off or neutralize it. On my skin I did feel some tingling but no redness. I waited 10 minutes and then applied their Argan Oil (1 oz. $10.00), which could act as a neutralizer, as it would just stop the peel from oxidizing. The next day I had some peeling on my forehead but that is the only place.
For anyone who hasn’t had a peel or any sort of significant facial work by an aesthetician, then you definitely want to read the rest of this blog post by Marie on her blog HERE
