My DIY 50% Glycolic Acid Peel Experience

My DIY 50% Glycolic Acid Peel Experience I woke up this morning and decided that my skin looked like total crap and needed some help before going on set. I've had the Carbon Skincare 50% Glycol Peel in my medicine cabinet for months and have used it a few times, but it's been several months and while giving myself a refresher on How-To - I figured I'd share. Definitely not looking at all pretty in this video!!! But we all go through it...

I don't think it gets me even close to the results I get at the dermatologist's office, but I'm also not spending nearly as much and I get to do it in the privacy of my own home. This is the only DIY glycolic peel that I have used so I don't know how well it compares with others on the market. Have you tried different ones? What do you recommend? Let us know in the comments!

Just a tip- I keep a salt shaker filled with baking soda in my medicine cabinet i use it as a handy way to store baking soda in the bathroom when I when do peels and (sometimes on a whim shake some on my toothbrush for extra whitening) but I feel the same way as you for the neutralizing solution I just shake some in my hands when I rinse the peel off and it works pretty good

Idk if youll see this comment. But I just have to tell you that I find you to be so inspiring! I'm 27 years old and although people tell me I have a long way to go I get scared of getting older because everyone acts as though it's the end and there's no stopping aging. But you give me hope! You are absolutely gorgeous! Your skin and body look so much younger than 50!!! Omg you look so good!!

Thank you for being so real and unpretentious. I love your Personality. I know I've seen you in movies or on TV but I can't remember which ones. After watching this tutorial, I want to watch everything you have ever been in. Thank you for being genuine and wanting to share and help others. <3

I was never told by a doctor about my face turning red so easily and after watching many of your videos, you helped me to figure out I have sensitive skin too. Thank you so much! ❤️

[@VideosTower]

I don't know who you are, but I love the realness of you!!!!! and you beautiful!

[@SimmSumm]

Beginners should ALWAYS start with 5-8% and NEVER go above 20-25% and let them sit on 2-4 minutes only!!! Always neutralize a mix of baking soda and water if you do this at home.

Great vid and I love how genuine you are!

[@nahdiasaltz6081]

Thank you for being so real and direct! Today is my first time using 50% - peel. You just made me feel 100% secure. I did the test.. on my forearm did not feel or see anything.. so I went ahead and did another test under my chin and went ahead and did my neck. Felt normal stinging. Have no redness. My directions imply wait 48 hours before using on the face. After watching your tutorial.. I am going to go ahead and do it in 24 hours. I too, some times go around the rules. I think as long as I am not experiencing crazed stinging or bleeding that I should be ok doing it 24 hours earlier. Monique I also have purchased the 70%. - have you ever done more than the 50%?? Thank you so much for all the info!! You are Beautiful!! Bye 4 now! .

[@fairytalecakes]

Great vid! I started with 15% and never did the neutralizer. Just rinsed with cool water. I now do the 30% once a month.

[@ruthm3813]
