PEELS

I've added a new category as peels interest us all.

GREAT idea of having a peels category!!  I'm going to be doing a mandelic peel this evening so my skin looks fresh this weekend. I just bought the new stronger strength salicylic acid peel from Makeupartists Choice and boy, that stuff is strong.  It stung going on, but not alot of peeling....it's great for getting in and cleaning out the pores.

Not sure if I posted it anywhere else or not. I am doing Kojic/AHA acid peels. Two done, six more to go (every two weeks as they recommend) . This 70% peel is to help hyperpigmenation and stimulate collagen production. No peeling, just slight stinging after the application. I keep it on for half an hour. I will report if I had any results with this one. I will be able to keep this one up since I don't have to go into hiding for one week after. Almost no peeling, just slight dryness of the skin today (I did the peel on Friday evening). Last time my skin looked and felt the same. I am curious if I see any results with pigment or texture of the skin.

Carmen you have the Tria don't you? Did that not do enough for your pigmentation and texture?

Nope. Tria caused more pigment .

Any luck with Kojic peel on the pigmentation Carmen?

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Carmen. I have heard the odd person say it's increased thier melasma. You should sell it and make most of your money back. I'm sure there will be a few people on EDS who may be interested. 

Good luck with the peels.

I know! I should sell it or try using it on other parts of my body. I may wait for summer to end before staring. I may try doing my thigh. I have six more peels to do. They recommend eight all together . I hope to see some results. I never tried Kojic and AHa for pigmentation. But of course melasma is a complete different ball game. It's not just any pigmentation. It is hormonal and extremely difficult to get rid off. Some say impossible but I never ever lost hope that I will get rid of it one day 

I read somewhere that you can tell where the melasma originates by its colour. The lighter ones not so deep, the darker ones from deep dermis and very difficult to eradicate. You have such good makeup technique, though, that I have never noticed any imperfection.

Carmen you may be interested in following Bethany's SkinMedica Lytera
thread on EDS. She has hormonal melasma and is giving this product a 6 month trial.
