OUCH! Now, I wait for things to get worse before they get better (like a LOT worse).

    Yeah! It burns! Luckily, the pain doesn't last long, but my nerves were going! Are you considering one?

    How long does it take your skin to go back to normal?
    I think it's different for everyone, and also depends on the type that you get. I can update ;)

    Every time I've had a chemical peel, it hasn't hurt.

    You must be a tough cookie! My eyes watered and it looked like I was crying when I finally left the room.

    Why not just stick to all natural facials?

    Straight from the spigot?

    You may be red for a bit but hopefully not too long!!

    Well, some people have legit reasons I'm sure. Acne scars we can't see, maybe. Whatever floats your boat, man.

    Yup. Acne, acne scaring, some sun damage and light aging were all a concern. I'm getting ready for a big adventure out to Australia for a year, so just wanted to look my best B) also, my esthetician recommended it, so I thought "why not?" Definitely know what you're getting into though, as it does sting and burn during he procedure, then your skin peels for a couple of days afterwards.

    Honestly, I'm not sure, but I don't think it was anything too concentrated. I bonded w/ her the first time I went: I could tell that she is passionate about making people look their best, so I just trust her methodology. I should be a bit more involved, especially in case, I need a repeat procedure! :p

    yeah same... it never hurt, skin starts "peeling" a day or two later and that's it.
