Vi Peel…week three update
So, it’s been three weeks since my Vi Peel, and my skin still seems to be regulating itself. After enjoying a gorgeous, smooth, soft complexion last week, I woke up on Saturday with four honking zits that seemingly came out of nowhere. In the week after the Vi Peel, there was a noticable difference in the texture and appearance of my skin—less pigmentation, more even and radiant, although also more red—but my skin broke out from the intensive moisturizer that comes along with the peel. The zits quickly went away, but now they’re back with a vengeance. (I mean, seriously, I have some zits right now that deserve their own zip code.) I don’t want to have unrealistic expectations, and know that the real test will come next week with my one-month-post-peel photos…but still. Jolie is not so happy right now.

I find it hard to believe that you even need a peel. Your skin always looks so great. I have acne and treating the scars is an ongoing struggle. I switched to natural/organic products last fall and am currently using lactic acid to reduce the scarring. Are you going to share any before/after photos?

Thanks Allison! Really, the only reason my skin ever looks good is because of all the Bare Minerals I use to airbrush it! I have a lot of pigmentation issues, acne scars, and am perpetually red on my nose and chin from mild rosacea.
I will definitely share before and after photos, but not for another two weeks. I know everybody’s itching for them, but less than a month is simply too soon to post before and afters and expect any sort of visible, related result, unfortunately!
