    How long does it take your skin to go back to normal?

    Day two: the peeling started! Is mainly on my chin and around my nose.

    What's the point in a chemical peel? Please tell.

    Sloughs off the dead layers of skin.. it smooths out skin, reduces signs of sun damage, reduces dull and uneven skin tone, scars, pigmentation, acne and enlarged pores..

    I would have to do a chemical a peel to fit my issues..

    Many moons ago. my mother screwed up the skin around her mouth and chin from a real plastic surgeon that did this.. it actually burned her..

    At home low level microdermabrasion is all I will do.. the rest no thanks.

    I just took off a glamglow mask and my face feels *kitten* fabulous.

    So I can't say that I peeled THAT much, but I did have some very dry skin around the mouth. Results? In terms of expectation: 2/10, realistically probably more of a 4. Basically, not even close to the dramatic change that I expected. I know my estetician will recommend follow ups, but I'm just not convinced that it's worth the trouble at this point. :#
