Why do I need a daily exfoliator & Hyaluronic Moisturizer?
Applying a peel to the skin can dramatically turn over the skin's cells - shedding dead and damaged skin and replacing them with new younger softer looking skin that has a more even skin tone and more youthful look. To perform a treatment that will fully enhance the natural turnover process you must also treat the skin during the "downtime period" otherwise known as the period between when the peeling has ceased and the next peel application. Applying a low strength daily exfoliator, such as Glycolic 10% Daily Exfoliator (included in the kits) will gently promote further cell turnover and help to continue the rejuvenation process forn effective result. Hyaluronic Moisturizer is perfect for promoting healthy new skin growth as it is purified, oil-free and one of the best available cosmetic ingredients for retaining moisture.
Peel Kit Contains: Glycolic 10% Exfoliator, Glycolic 30% Peel, & Pure Hyaluronic Moisturizer. Available in 2oz, 4oz and 8 oz sizes.
Basic Method of Use: Always follow the instructions included with kit. Remove makeup, cleanse skin and rinse. Using gauze pads apply Exfoliator / Peel to skin and buff gently. After 1-2 minutes rinse and pat dry and apply Moisturizer. Apply sun protection. See DIRECTIONS for detailled instructions.
Ingredients:
GETTING STARTED
Use the Daily Exfoliator each day for 1 week. If your skin is not red, irritated or peeling, you can begin applying the Skin Peel once every 2-3 weeks. After applying the Skin Peel, wait until all redness and/or peeling has stopped, apx. 4-7 days, and then resume your use of the Daily Exfoliator.
APPLYING THE DAILY EXFOLIATOR
For daily use when skin is not red, peeling or irritated.
1. Cleanse, rinse and dry skin.
2. Apply a few drops of Daily Exfoliator to gauze pad and buff skin gently in a circular motion.
3. After 1-2 minutes rinse skin with water & pat dry
4. Apply Peel RX Oil-Free Moisturizer or Hyaluronic Moisturizer.
PRE-PEEL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prior to your peel: Avoid facials, waxing and electrolysis. Do not apply any makeup or perfume.
2. If you are pregnant or currently using any prescription skin care products check with your doctor before performing a peel.
3. For 24 hours before and after performing a peel cease using any non-Peel RX cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliators, sun protection products & other skin care products.
4. Two days before performing a peel conduct a patch test: First: Prepare a Neutralizing Solution (SEE #1 BELOW). Apply to clean skin a small amount of the Peeling
Solution to a dime-sized area of the face. Wait 30 seconds, then rinse off with cold water. If skin is excessively irritated use Neutralizing Solution. Observe results for the next 5 days. Mild to moderate redness or stinging is normal. Excessive redness, stinging, burning, blistering or other severe reaction may indicate that a lower peel strength is needed to build tolerance.
APPLYING THE SKIN PEEL SOLUTIONS
DO NOT APPLY PEEL MORE FREQUENTLY THAN EVERY 2 WEEKS
NOTE: During the peel you may experience mild to moderate burning or stinging. This is normal and means that the peel is working. CAUTION: If at any time you feel uncomfortable or the skin reacts with excessive redness or stinging the solution should be washed off immediately with repeated splashes of cold water and/or the neutralizing
solution (see below). AVOID SUN EXPOSURE after performing a peel for 7 days.
1. PREPARE A NEUTRALIZING SOLUTION: Combine 2 tbsp of household baking soda with
1 cup of tepid water in a small bowl. This solution can be used to deactivate the peel while it
is on the skin. If you experience severe discomfort while performing the peel simply splash the neutralizing solution on to the skin to quickly stop the peeling process. Keep this solution near you at all times while performing the peel. Only use if necessary. You may also fan the skin with a handheld fan to alleviate minor discomfort.
2. Remove makeup and wash face with a mild cleanser, such as Peel RX Ultra-Pure & Gentle Cleanser.
3. Peel RX peel products are designed for those experienced with skin peeling treatments. If you
have limited experience with peels or if you are unsure of your tolerance level we recommend using one of the lower strength peels and initially leave the peel on for not more than 20-30 seconds.
4. Shake Glycolic Acid well. Apply 1-2 ml Glycolic Acid to a gauze pad and apply to the face using a mild rubbing action. Avoid eye areas, lips, and insides of nostrils. Continue gently buffing for 30- 90 seconds.
5. Initially at this stage, rinse with cold water or the neutralizing solution if necessary . As tolerance increases, peel may be left on for longer periods, up to 2-3 minutes.
6. Gently pat dry with a clean cotton or paper towel. Do not rub skin with the towel.
7. Apply Peel RX Oil-Free Moisturizer or Hyaluronic Moisturizer to soothe and nourish your new skin. Avoid sun light and apply Sun Protection.
AFTER THE PEEL
• Immediately after the peel the skin may be red and blotchy, slightly raised, tight and shiny, and/ or feel sensitive. These are all normal reactions to the peel, and symptoms should subside in a few hours or within 1-2 days in some cases.
CAUTION: During this time following a peel, take care not to pick or irritate the skin. Apply cold water and Peel RX Hyaluronic Moisturizer or Oil-Free Moisturizer as needed.
• In the week following the peel you may experience mild flaking and/or redness, similar to a slight sunburn and irritation in the form of small blemishes where the peel deeply penetrated the pores. These reactions are normal and will subside with each subsequent peel. Apply Peel RX Hyaluronic Moisturizer or Oil-Free Moisturizer 2-3 times a day as needed.
• Following a peel, take care to wash and dry skin gently. Avoid sun exposure and use Sun Protection.
• Seven days following the peel you may resume using the Daily Exfoliator, provided that all residual redness and peeling has subsided.
