Well, I finally broke down and tried a Sensitive Skin Peel at my favorite spa which is run by, and attached to, my favorite dermatologist. Now, for those of you out there who are regular peelers, I defer to your wisdom, as this was, suprisingly, my first. I have really sensitive skin, and dry skin, and so I worried that a peel was not for me. But, I was feeling a bit brave and plus, I needed something to write about!
So, off I went. My facialist suggested that we start with a light Lactic Acid Peel. I really liked it! I was not red or irritated afterwords. It didn't burn while I had it on. My skin did, indeed, feel a bit smoother and tighter. I did have some flakiness later that week (I had the peel on a Saturday morning, and was a bit flaky Wednesday-Friday.) I did become a little bit red in one spot on the right side of my chin, but that soon faded.
So all in all, I'd recommend this type of peel, even for those of you with sensitive skin! It's a good starter and one I will likely try again. Of course, don't try try a peel right before a big event, you never know how your skin will react!
I just got my first lactic acid peel this last week and I loved it too! I am glad to hear you had a great experience. I will definitely be doing it again!
ReplyDeleteLactic Acid is a non-irritating rapid exfoliator. That means that Lactic Peels works fast to slough off dead skin cells and Lactic can be more suited to those who prefer a gentler peel or for more sensitive skin types.
