Skin peeling sounds scary to me! How do they do it? Is it just like a major exfoliation or do they peel off a layer of skin?
Thought tell a littl e bout how they work. the aha/bha's dissolve the bond attaching the dead cells to the living cells. Should not hurt, but many people get a tingling sensation. if done with to strong a solution or next one done to soon it can burn leaving graze like sores (a bit like what a wax burn looks like). These days you can buy home kits but there is a big difference in strength. I think here home products have to be under 10% where as many professional brands are upto 35%.
Should not be done over broken skin, surnburn or skin waxed in last 24hrs. Sensitive skin best started products with lower % & you can build to stronger ones.
