Chemical what?!

So, my clinical spa has a deal this month where you get 35% off a four-layer face lift (i.e. chemical peel), and since my esteem has been at an all time low lately, I decided that my skin was bad enough to try it out.
Here’s what I learned:
1. Immediately afterwards, don’t expect your face to look any different than if you just had a facial (disappointing, I know). But within a few hours, you will be gleefully amazed at how fresh your skin is looking and how your flaws and imperfections are already disappearing before your eyes.
2. Be prepared to put time into this. You’ll have to do several peels frequently (every two weeks), even if you have overall great skin and only minor flaws. This isn’t laser people. I was very disappointed when I found this out but overall I’m satisfied with the results. Also, be prepared for a strict facial washing-masking-moisturizing regime post-peel that will take up some time every morning and evening for a week after each peel.
3. Be vocal about the problems you have with your skin. No matter how obvious they are, if you don’t say ‘em, she won’t fix ‘em. I thought that I need not utter the words “blackhead,” “milia,” “broken capillary,” or “under eye circle” because my esthetician could clearly see these flaws, but then I felt disappointed when I was only being treated for skin dehydration (over exfoliation at home isn’t good after all!) and I had to cough up the guts to discuss, one by one, my issues.
4. Trust what your esthetician tells you you need. I’ll admit to being very opinionated and thinking I’m always right, and the organic, non-chemical peel I was recommended for just didn’t sound drastic enough to fix all my skin issues in one session (hint: it won’t). So after getting home, as disappointed and red-faced as can be, I researched (googled) to my heart’s content and…voila! She was right! All my skin care concerns are specifics for organic, non-chemical peels. I’m happy now, and I should have had more faith in the woman doing my peel.
5. Be prepared to spend more money than you anticipated. My post-peel kit came for free, but the products I am using are truly amazing. IMAGE skincare has a new line of organic products called Ormedics, and these are more expensive than drug store products, but the difference in my skin is already like night and day for me. You may wind up buying something even if you go into the clinic, completely oblivious and happy with your current skin care regime.
So, if anyone is thinking of having a peel done, I wanted to recommend the one that I had done and also, I hope the tips helped! May He bless all of us with inner beauty (of course) and beautiful skin too.
