Skin Care Tip: TCA Peel

submitted by Laurie Phillips, Houston, TX USA

Tip description / details:
Makeup Artist TCA Peel Ok, you would think this wont't last long; believe me it'll will last a long time, depending on what areas you use it on. Some people do their arms, hands etc. I just did my face, neck and I did the age spots on my hands.

Ingredients:
12.5% - 1/2 oz kit, comes with green tea soap and 1 plastic glove.

How to prepare:
Wash face with green tea soap, put on plastic glove.

How to use:
Using Q-tip, dip into peel liquid and stroke over wrinkles or age spot several times. This will cause some burning. The Makeup Artist's peel is self timing for 5 minutes. The second time, I did a back2back peel, meaning that I applied it, waited 5 minutes and re-applied it for another 5 minutes. I rinse my face with a baking soda rinse to neutralize afterward.

Results (observed by submitter):
My face got real red (and tight) the first 2 days. (might want to do this if you have time off). The first 2 days are not your best looking days. After the 2 day, my skin started peeling, I mean sheets of skin came off. I had done my main wrinkles and under my neck skin. The peeling stop in about a week to 10 days. At first, you think "why did I do this"? Then after about a week, your skin begins looking real good. And for several weeks, it keeps look good. The skin is not as wrinkled and the "age" spots peeled off. I am 54 and my mom and complete strangers asked what moisturizer I used.

Costs involved:
$40.00 with shipping
