50% Glycolic Acid Peels

 Benefits of 50% Glycolic Acid Peel :

Acne Clients:

You are beginning your treatments with pores that are congested/clogged with embedded dirt, dead skin cells, and sebum. As you begin your treatments, the sebum just under the surface will likely emerge as blemishes. This is normal. Breakouts may seem more pronounced since the acid is cleaning the pores more quickly than with regular cleansing products. Typically, within the first 3 weeks, the skin begins to show improved clarity with very few breakouts. Please try to be patient during this time. Deep cleansing and exfoliation are processes that take some time to work.

 Included with your kit:

For scar reduction, use our Rosehips Hibiscus Scar Cream….also great for stretch marks.

General Cautions:

Directions for use: 

Always patch test!

Patch test the areas you plan to treat. If you are doing a facial peel, patch test a small area, about the size of a quarter, near the jawline.  Follow the directions below, rinse thoroughly, then wait 24-48 hours to make sure your skin tolerates the peeling serum nicely

Directions for doing your peel:

Cleanse your skin with a non-acid cleanser. We recommend our Green Tea Pomegranate Cleanser. Rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry.

pH Prep Solution – Dispense onto a cotton ball or pad and wipe your face to remove oils and dirt from the skin’s surface. If your skin is dry or sensitive, this step can be omitted or substituted with Witch Hazel.

Your first efforts at peeling: Begin with fewer minutes to ensure a safe experience. Then increase the on-skin-time as your own sensitivity levels allow.

Apply the peeling serum. Begin at the forehead and work your way down the face, using thin layers of serum. Don’t rub the serum into the face. Just apply topically, making sure your skin is nicely covered with a thin layer(s). 

Leave the peel on for up to 3-10 minutes. 

Rinse with warm-to-cool water and cleanse again if desired. Make sure the serum has been completely removed from your skin. We offer a stand-alone Post Peel Neutralizer if you’d like to use it to ensure proper neutralization. Moisturize with a non-acid, non-retinoid moisturizer. We offer Argan Oil and  Green Tea Moisturizer.

After the peel:

Your skin may feel warm or appear pink. This is normal. However, if, during the above process, your skin burns,s remove the peel immediately with cool water and/or use our Post Peel Neutralizer to stop the peel from processing. The above peels may not produce much in the way of visible peeling, but they are indeed rapidly exfoliating your skin. You will feel the softness immediately post-peel and most certainly the next morning. Your pores will be clear, and your skin texture will be more refined and radiant.
Always use an SPF of at least 30 for several days after peeling. Freshly peeled skin is photosensitive and needs SPF protection. If your foundation contains an SPF factor of 30+, this is acceptable as well. Use weekly for 8-10 weeks to see optimal results. Healthline – Glycolic Acid Skincare Benefits

Clients need to be aware that by using 50% Glycolic Acid Peel and other peeling products, their skin will be more photo-sensitive than normal. It is recommended that you use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, preferably SPF 30 or higher, after using skin peel products. The FDA recommends using an SPF for one week post-peel.
