Facial cleans and chemical peelings?

(1/4) > >>

Apple Sprout:
So, I've thinking a lot about this. A lifetime of not caring for my face has managed to make look between 5 and 10 years older. Different colorations on the face, gigantic pores (mostly clogged), a nose looking like a strawberry and a sensation of aged skin.

A month ago I decided to adopt a routine of skin care (cleaner, exfoliant, toner and moisturizer twice a day), but it is not enough, since the pores's content is way too old and big to be cleaned easily. Since it looks like I'm going to need a bit of professional help, I've contacted with a few beauty centers than can do cleanings and chemical peelings, useful for readjusting the skin's uniform tone and reducing the pores.

Has anybody here tried them and know If the results are visible? Thanks.

Toner is nice to clean my face. To decrease pore size, I massage my face with ice everyday. Actually, it can not decrease pore size, but it helps decrease wrinkles. Yes. I sometimes use chemical peeling gels, too.

But the most important thing is to stop smoking, which I can not...

Get some Retin A gel from your pharmacy, 0.05% or 0.1% concentration should do, use this for 2 months on your face overnight before undergoing any skin peel treatments as it will ensure better results and even tone. Always apply sunscreen before going out during this. Very superficial peels such as glycolic and salicylic acid can be done at home, however TCA peels should be done by an experienced professional.

I think it is not sold without a recipe, isn't it?

Apple Sprout:
Looks like Retin-A is not for me. I though my T-zone had serious dehydration, but is has proved to be freaking sebhorreic eczema which can't be properly combined with that cream. I could try to use it avoiding that area, though.
