Thanks Pixie. :) I started taking care of my skin about 5 or 6 years ago. I started with mostly doing glycolic peels. Then a year or so ago I started doing microneedling and trying all sorts of different peels. When I was 22 or in my 20s, I did nothing for my skin - never wore sunscreen. I think wearing sunscreen/hats can help the most to have nice skin when older. :)

I've been intrigued about doing a chemical peel at home and because of this video, I think I'm ready to try it on my own (I received my first chemical peel about 4 months ago by an Esthitician). Anyways, I want to purchase the peel now, but I also want to know what advice and/or products you'd recommend for follow up care. Like what should I put on after the peel, throughout the week, etc.
@LifeDIY4 жыл бұрын
Hi Sarai! Thanks for the comment. That's great you got a peel done by an esthetitian already. What kind of peel was done? The after care kind of varies depending on the peel. If you ever have issues with sunspots or hyperpigmentation, then it is a good idea to buy something for that. The one I use is the Alpha Arbutin by the Ordinary and I try to use it a bit before and after doing peels. Lately I've just been using it regularly to help prevent sunspots and it's worked so far, even after I recently did a harsh TCA peel. Besides that, sunscreen is super important. For people with dry skin, Cotz sunscreen sensitive is really great and a high SPF. Besides that, I really recommend any products by the Ordinary. They have a really great product called the Buffet and it has some incredible ingredients - great to use after exfoliating with a peel. I also love their lotion with hyaluronic acid in it - really great facial lotion. I would just mostly stay hydrated and be careful of the sun! I hope it goes well! You are beautiful!

May, sorry I just realized I didn't answer the other part of your question. If you are totally new to peels, the ones I recommend in this video, I still recommend (ie: Pumpkin enzyme peel, radiance peel). Otherwise I also have a few other new recommendations from the Ordinary. Their Glycolic toner is 7% glycolic - which is equivalent to doing a mild glycolic peel. This would be ideal for a beginner. They also have a 10% lactic acid peel, which is really great for someone new to peels as well - very well tolerated. Otherwise anything between 10-20% glycolic acid would be great to start with - then 30%, etc. :)

I just purchased several MUAC products, including the 30% glycolic acid peel. Is this safe to do around the eyes and neck? I feel like I’ve seen you put it around your eyes in some of your videos, but I can’t remember if I’ve seen you apply to your neck (just don’t want it to have the opposite intended effect since the neck skin is more thin). Also, I try to use tretinoin a few nights a week. How do I stagger glycolic acid peels/products with tret? I want to incorporate glycolic acid into my routine along with the peels. Thank you for all of your helpful videos!
@LifeDIY9 ай бұрын
Thank you! :) I always do the peels around my eyes, since that's an area I really want to work on and improve. You just have to be very careful! When it comes to using tretinoin and peels, you also need to be careful and probably do a patch test. It all depends on how sensitive your skin is, and how strong the peel is (even how low the pH of the peel is) + how strong the tretinoin is. If you patch test a small area on your face and it burns really badly, I'd wash it off immediately. I'd then wait a few more days for the skin to normalize. Some people need to use lower strength peels when using tretinoin.

Hi Jessie! For microneedling, I usually do it every six weeks, though some people do it every 4 weeks. I usually wait a bit longer.

I also love doing the Ordinary's AHA/BHA peel and that is less strong than my glycolic and I do that every couple of weeks too.

I thought maybe since I’ve never had a peel done, the Phytx might be a good starting one. I’m 44. I don’t think I have sensitive skin but you never know. I also bought their Vitamin C 20% serum along with the green tea pomegranate cleanser and toner. I’ve been watching tons of videos on peels and I love that I found this video. Makes me feel better taking the leap. Lol What are your opinions of each of the peels I’ve mentioned? Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼

Hi Misty! The Phytx is a great peel if you are new to doing peels! I think it is safe and mild enough, but still effective. I have done it a few times. It is supposed to help with pigmentation issues and other things. I think they have a lot of great products. I also love the products from Platinum Skincare. I have an updated peel recommendation video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5a1dZykYrqjaas and I actually did a demo and review of the Phytx peel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJa6iJaXpbaho7M and I did a really comprehensive video on the entire process of what happens when you do a TCA peel, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3q7mZZ3d6Zja5Y. Sorry for all the links, but I hope they help! I haven't used the Phytic acid peel in so long. But, I still think it is a really good one to use if new to peels. I also think regular glycolic peels can be amazing too as you work your way up. I was reading a study yesterday that said a higher strength glycolic peel has similar/comparable results to doing a TCA peel. So, that is great to keep in mind too. :) I really hope you like your peels! I hope I answered some of your questions. I want to do a video on peels again soon!

Hey Candice! That's good you have some peeling experience! If new to doing it at home, most places will recommend the lowest percentage first. But, it's up to you! I think the Glycolic 30% (the lowest from MakeupArtistsChoice - though it is not weak at all) would be a great place to start. Though, I have a total favorite peel now that is good for experienced peelers and those fairly new to peels (though not the best if you have super sensitive skin - spot testing is important) and it is the Ordinary's AHA+BHA peel. It is incredible. It's my favorite peel so far. If totally new, it's a good idea to leave it on only a minute to see how your skin handles it and if fine, longer is fine up to 10 mins. I did a video on this as well. I hope this helps!

Besides that, you could also always start with trying a lower strength glycolic peel (20% is a good starter, though some people with sensitive skin start at 10%). Besides that, some people (with no peeling experience) have also been ok using the Ordinary's AHA/BHA peel. That peel is my ultimate, absolute favorite. If new to peels though, it would be best to patch test it. Then, just leave it on for only a minute to see how your skin reacts and if fine, you can leave it on a few minutes (10 minutes max). :)That peel is incredible.

@LifeDIY4 жыл бұрын
That is understandable. :) It's so hard when using Retin A and trying to also do peels. I did a little test in using Retin A (though I am not a longterm user) and I do have the issue with my skin peeling like crazy anytime I use it (I only have the high strength prescription one). Well, I decided to use Retin A for a week or two and also I did one specific peel as well in between - which was the Ordinary's AHA BHA peel. I wanted to try this because that peel made my skin so moisturized, I thought I might be able to use Retin A afterwards. So, I did the peel and then the next day or two used Retin A - day after day for about a week, maybe a little more. My skin handled it fine and I wasn't peeling like crazy like I normally do until about a week, and it started to get pretty dry. Then after that I did the peel again. It's not good to overly exfoliate like I was doing. I just found so many positive benefits from the AHA BHA peel (I did a video on it) that I thought it might help my skin out enough to be able to use Retin A as well. Anyway, just be careful if you try using them both. Hopefully space some days out if you can and don't do them one after the other. I hope it works out! Peels are incredible!
