Fade Pigmentation Issues

Ah, those stubborn sunspots and signs of photoaging... they just creep up on us as we age! It's a very common skin condition. Luckily, this doesn't have to be a permanent thing!

Did you know that hyperpigmentation occurs from the production of melanin from too much sun exposure? Pretty much all forms of hyperpigmentation are due to this phenomenon.

Our Fade Peel is a *potent* hyperpigmentation peel. If you have sensitive skin, use scrubs regularly, or cleansing brushes, begin with our Fade Serum first, which is less intensive.

Our Fade Peel is appropriate for all types of skin discolorations and hyperpigmentation

Formulated with Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Kojic Acid, and Malic Acid, this is the product to try:

• Fade Acne Marks
• Fade Age Spots
• Fade Melasma
• Fade Sun Damaged Skin
• Even-out Skin Tones
• Deep cleans pores
• Revives tone and texture of the skin
• Softens lines, wrinkles, scars
• Resolve general hyperpigmentation issues
• Brighten dull skin tones

Additionally, this peel provides:

• Superior Exfoliation
• Little-to-no downtime

We formulated this peel for those of you with busy lives who don't want the downtime produced by stronger peels, such as our TCA line.

In addition to Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Kojic Acid, and Malic Acid, this peel also contains botanicals that are beneficial in fading topical skin discolorations.

General Cautions:

Never use manual exfoliators nor scrubbing brushes within 24 hours of using a home chemical peel or any kind of strong acids.

Stop using retinol, any benzoyl peroxides, salicylic acid, acne products, and any other drying agents 24 hours before and after using an alpha hydroxy or beta hydroxy peel.

If you are allergic to aspirin products, never use a salicylic acid nor beta hydroxy peel.

Never apply a peel without doing a patch-test first and waiting 48 hours for results.

Never apply a chemical peel to inflamed skin.

Always read product directions in their entirety and don't take shortcuts.

When in doubt about a caution, please write or call us for more information: info@makeup artistschoice.com

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 5 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 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 clean and skin texture will be more refined and radiant.
Always use an SPF of at least 30 for several days after peeling. Freshly peel 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.

FDA December 2, 2002 Posting - Sun Sensitivity

Clients need to be aware that by using glycolic acid 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. 

Ingredients - Peeling Serum:
Purified water, glycolic acid 30%, lactic acid 20%, kojic acid 2%, malic acid 3%, bearberry extract, licorice root extract, sodium hydroxide, aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, capryl glycol, hexylene glycol.

Ingredients - pH Prep Solution:
Water, Witch Hazel, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, FD&C Blue #1.

Directions for use: 

• Cleanse.
  
• Patch-test to ensure you tolerate the peel without irritation.  We recommend applying a small amount of serum just below the ear, along the jawline.  Leave on the skin for 4 minutes.  Rinse *thoroughly* with soap and water.  Wait 24 hours to see if irritation develops.  If everything looks good, proceed with your full face peel.

--------------------------------------

Now... for the actual full face application.

• Cleanse skin.
• Apply pH prep solution with a cotton ball to the entire area you wish to peel.
• Allow the prep solution to dry.
• Apply peeling serum.
• Leave on skin for 5 minutes.
• Rinse with warm, soapy water.
• Moisturize with our Argan Oil.
• Use an SPF 15 or higher for one-week post peel.
• Use once weekly.
• Never apply a chemical peel to irritated skin.
• You will feel stinging and tingling, but this peel should not burn the skin.  If you feel a burning sensation, rinse the peel off *immediately*.  

Use the peel on a weekly basis for cumulative results.  If you find that a 5 minute application is too uncomfortable, cut that time in half.
