4th Chemical Peel

This one was different.... Um I made mistake number 1 that no one doing a chemical peel should do... I mixed chemicals. Okay so in the directions it says to cleanse the skin with rubbing alcohol before treating the skin with the Lactic Acid. This improves the chemical peel by removing the oils from your skin. Well I had just gotten Mario Badescu's Cucumber Toning Lotion, which is 4% alcohol. I wasn't thinking and added that to my skin before the chemical peel. The chemicals mixed and my skin... its not burned, but at the time it was VERY uncomfortable. I left the peel on for four min, but it was when I was taking it off that the burning sensation became very intense. I moisturized immediately, and my skin isn't burned or severely peeling it just appears red. Its not sensitive or hurting, its just red. The skin feels very smooth and my pores are almost gone. Like my open pores are soooooo clean, they almost blend entirely into my skin!

Third Chemical Peel... ect

This one was for three minuets. I found that my skin was more tolerant to the lactic acid so it didn't itch/sting so bad. I went to see True Grit, which was good. The kind of Western I like. I like the kind of Westerns that are like The Quick And The Dead. I rate True Grit a 8 out of 10 for poor character development.

Today I was going to start my Dietary Cleanse...

But because I'm still sick I've decided it would be better to wait another week. Yesterday I did my second Chemical peel, this one for 2 min. My skin is significantly smoother and softer. As for my Cleanse... I've decided to do a month long dietary cleanse, in the healthiest way.... By eating a very high fiber diet, the only part of this cleanse that I'm worried about is that I've been dealing with anemia and hypoglycemia, while the hypoglycemia should be fine since that's sugar related, I fear I won't be getting enough protein or Iron, despite that fact that I'm on a Iron supplement. If I can't do the entire month then I will probably change my plan, otherwise I think I'll be fine. The week after my high fiber cleans I will be doing a liquid fast for one week. A liquid fast isn't like what people normally think of when they think of fasting. A liquid fast is basically a liquid diet, which is much easier to digest than solid food. This is to let my body rest after such an extensive fiber cleanse. I will be posting more on this in the following weeks.

I have also sort of made a promise to Rachel, the youtuber TheRakel749, that I would be sort of doing a dieting/health series alongside hers to keep her company and give her support in her journey as well as mine.

My first Lactic Acid peel...

Was pretty good... not at all like I thought it was going to be. It itched more than burned. I only left it on for 1 min, which is what they recommend to begin with and the concentration is 35%. After the treatment I used my Mario Badescu Collagen Moisturizer, my face felt tight but really smooth. As I'm looking at it now... I can see that my white heads have drained and my skin does seem improved, and now my skin is loosening up, but still feels firmer. My sample patch looks fine, its not even red, whereas my face looks a bit red and shiny, but its comfortable.

I hope everyone had a great holiday!! Update!

I will be posting a blog on all of the things I received and some of the things I'm giving before I send them, but that will have to wait until I get back home. Currently I'm at my parent's house, enjoying a lovely WARM holiday with them! It's like 50 degrees Fahrenheit!!! That's SUPER warm for Colorado. I've also ordered some cosmetics from Elf... a brand that I've never tried... so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm thinking about getting a standing mirror for tutorials, which I'll probably get. I also ordered some skincare products, including a Lactic Acid chemical peel kit, which I think will be really interesting if my skin can tolerate it. I'll also be posting a blog on what I've learned about chemical peels. I hope I can get a better web cam program so I can start making videos again.

I would love to hear what everyone got for their holiday an/or what you got others! Please give me some ideas for next year!!!! ;P
