Yeah but the problem then is it drags on the ground.i keep threatening my wife with this for vacation. That way I can sit on the beach and let my sack hang out of the leg of my board shorts...

I decided to go with a Glycolic acid peel over the TCA. TCA, from what I have read is more harsh. Went with a low percentage at 20%. Apparently the Glycolic acid will not peel even at a higher strength.

Did all the prep and applied it last night. Shit has a bit of a burn to it and makes your face red. Left it on for about 5 min before neutralizing it. Face is a little red today and a little itchy. We shall see.

Update

Had a little dry skin flaking for a couple of day. Redness stopped about 2 days post application and flaking around a week. They run the 20% Glycolic peels every 2 weeks for 3-6 applications. Right now, I don't see much of a difference. Will hit it again in a week.

I've never tried anything other than soap and water with the occasional lotion during the winter. Maybe it's that time....

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

Got no problem being called a pretty boy. My mother worked in skin care my whole life and I model for an agency in nyc.

I think honestly that retinal A is enough. most importantly I hope u have a good skin care routine. You should have Toner, anti-age serum, moisturiser, eye cream and spf cream (applied in that order) and then obviously face wash in the shower.

hope that helps a bit .

Truthfully, I never looked my age and don't plan on stopping. Most of us spend a considerable amount of time trying to look better so why disregard your face.

My wife could care less.

I added in 10% salicylic and 5% lactic to the 20% glycolic about 4 weeks ago. This was definitely a step up. Applied the salicylic/lactic acid first, waited about 5 min and then followed with the glycolic for another 5 min. This is referred to as an Alpha/Beta peel.

This burned like a bitch. Face was a sunburn red right after but toned down about 4 hr later. Day 3 I stared to peel; I mean peel. I just came off my second Alpha/Beta peel and the difference is notable. Fine lines and small age spots are completely gone, skin tone is more even. So far this has a thumbs up.

Don’t think I need it just yet, but I’m with you. We take care of our bodies and a big part of that is aesthetics why not give our skin some attention. My wife is into skin care products, exfoliant scrubs, charcoal masks etc. I mess with some of it here and there and it feels great when your face feels fresh and healthy. Nothing wrong with that!
