So many people have absolutely wonderful peel experiences - but then there are those that end up with something negative happening. For the most part, these negative experiences can be reduced or even eradicated with some knowledge. I am going to give you some tips today so that all of your peel experiences are positive.
Listening to a friend (or the internet) instead of the manufacturer
This is a biggie. We all have different skin and therefore - different needs.
Not preparing dark skin properly. More than ½ of the people with melanin-rich skin will end up with PIH if they don’t pretreat their skin prior to applying an acid.
Using too high of a percentage. The key is using the acid in the lowest percentage you can that still gives you the benefits you need.
You want to work up slowly - not apply an extremely strong peel and cause pigmentation, redness and prolonged irritation.
Skipping the directions. Never assume with peels. This is an acid - not makeup! Lost your directions? That's OK.. just click here: www.platinumskincare.com/peel...
Don’t wax or shave prior to applying a peel. Nope, this is exfoliating and will give you a deeper peel than you intended.
Don’t mix treatment modalities
There is always someone out there wanting to combine needling and peels or laser treatments and peels. Yes, indeed you can use all of your favorite treatments… but… you need to space them out - not apply them in a single setting.
Stopping Retinoids before peels
Luminosity isn’t forever
Yes, our Luminosity .50 retinol is truly amazing - but it isn’t meant to be an everyday product.

Do NOT pick at the flaking skin. This is a tough one - as those flakes are as tempting to pull on as a pimple is to pop. But try not to do it. I do have a couple of suggestions for you though.
