Update: Peels Are they Good For Your Skin

I went back and got my facial with a peel. I broke out even more and it lasted for several months. It was torture. My forehead and cheeks were affected the most. I have never had a problem with that area. Sure, I've gotten zits here and there but not cysts! My skin was left badly scarred...the holey ones. Because I was breaking out so much, I couldn't dermaroll which is why I haven't updated. I've been depressed.

Do Your Research before hiring a Facialist/Esthetician

If you're planning on getting a facial, or peel ask what's in it, and expiration date for the products (my whole forehead got infected). Ask questions. It's your face...the first thing people see that you are messing with. Being embarrassed to ask questions isn't an option!

Dermastamping

I purchased a dermastamp and used it today. I love my dermaroller but I want to focus on a few small areas instead of rolling the entire lower half of my face. Dermastamping will allow me to too that.


Update Posted 

I finally got around to posting a final update about the issues I was having after I got a facial and peel done with an Esthetican. Actually, I tried to post one years ago but it got lost when my connection went down. Luckily, I keep notes of my progress.

Peels...are they good for your skin?

Recently, I decided to get a facial. A peel was included with the facial. Got the peel and guess what happened to me!?! I broke out in 6 cysts and now have non cystic acne where I have never gotten them before (jawline, and forehead). My husband said it's a coincidence but I don't know. It's strange that I got this acne after my peel. I have waited a month and they haven't gone away.
I am serisously thinking I got the acne from the peel but I don't know for sure. I have decided to get another peel to see if that is what is causing my acne. If I break out more, then I know where the acne came from.
I recently gave up dairy and switch to Almond milk. This was around the same time I got my peel so I thought it was the Almond milk that made me break out. I have given up Almond milk and I am now drinking soy milk.
I know we all react differently to certain things so something that makes one person break out will not affect someone else but I am going to test out my peel theory (it's not like my skin is perfect anyway so a few more zits isn't going to make a difference) and post an update. I'll let you know how it turns out. Hopefully I am wrong and I won't break out again. I get my facial with a peel on Monday. Wish me Luck!
