I used to be in a private thread on another site where a bunch of girls were talking about it. All thought it was great.

Peels are more for sun damage like sunspots and acne scars. I don't think you need it.

Oh, okay.

So its for like older people.

luv4all7 said:

Well, mostly but younger people with bad acne scars get it as well.

Have you seen what your face looks like right after a peel? You look like someone threw boiling water on your face.

JustErin said:

Oh, yeah, I want immediate action, I don't want tomatoe face for a couple days or anything.

I'll just get the proactive, and maybe some botox.

luv4all7 said:

Get restylane instead of botox.

You could always get sedated. You know, just for the quiet time.

JustErin said:

What is that?

Okay I have to go get my kids shoes on so I can go buy my 20 shirts.

Tell me what it is for when I get back.

luv4all7 said:

I need one.

You could always go eat a deep fried twinkie. You know, just for old times sake.

I'd recommend asking them to take the money and donate it to the Rowands orphan's fund. you can tell them Number23 says hello.

I'm going for the fried snickers bar this year.

The easiest way I can think of describing the difference between the two is Botox paralyzes muscles that create fine lines and Restylane plumps up the fine lines.

I understood nothing from that post.

I thought you were smart.

What do you not understand?

my cousin had a chemical peel because her dermatologist recommended it to her. It really tore up her face and made everything look worse right after it was done and then after it 'healed', or whatever it does, there was no visible improvement.

She also had microdermabrasion done and that turned out pretty much the same way.

I think that Oil of Olay has some products that are suppose to act like a chemical peel or microdermabrasion but are far more gentle. Or maybe you just need to use Oil of Olay's Total Effects or Regenerist Serum.

Stay out of the damn sun!!

There's your lesson for the day.

Ever see the Sex and the City episode where Samantha had to wear a veil over her face after her peel?

after seeing someone post chemical peel, i can understand why!

Most places that do this have a free consultation. They will recommend what they think is best for you. There are other things, other than a straight up chemical peel.
Its never too early to start taking care of your skin.

I used Proactive for a couple of years when I was a teen. I had a serious acne problem, and had tried many different methods to get rid of it. Unfortunately, Proactive wasn't a huge help, because my skin got used to it and it stopped working after a while. I loved the scrub and the toner, but the lotion bleached anything it came in contact with (Including towels, the blue carpet in my bedroom, and even strands of my hair!) I don't know what they put in that stuff, but it was hardcore. If you don't have realy bad skin, it will probably work a lot better for you than it did for me.

I always peel my grocery store oranges before I eat them.

I used ProActiv for awhile and it worked! I only stopped because I was using more of one thing than another, I wasn't needing all that they were shipping me (you can't just order as needed, at least that's how it used ot be, they make you receive product every certain number of days). And so I decided to try other things that were maybe a little less expensive and on my own terms as far as how much I got and how long I used it.

Oh, and my mom had a chemical peel. But the really intense one, where they go down layers and layers of skin, not the series of ones where they just blast your face at lunchtime. But I've heard pretty good things about the results of those, as far as skin looking smoother, better coloring, etc.
