Skin Medica Rejuvenize Peel

I got a chemical peel on Tuesday. It's the last of a three-pack that I bought. Good riddance- I cant tell if chemical peels are actually good for you or not. I'm on day 4 of the peel and I am in the thick of it. After a day of your skin soaking in the chemicals, your face starts to peel for about 4 days revealing a new layer of skin. However the new skin that is coming out is slightly red and dry. I cant tell if it's the weather or the peel but my face does not feel good. All this for one month of make-up free skin. And on top of it, your skin is ultra- sensitive to the sun so I end up feeling like a paranoid sun scared girl. If it didnt look so silly, I'd carry a parasol around. Well hopefully the redness will go away soon. I dont remember my skin getting so red on my last two peels though. I am slightly nervous... : (


UPDATE: It's been a full week and my skin looks good. It feels super soft and the sun spots look a little lighter. The general tone is more even and more absorbent. Now I just have to slather on the SPF 50.
