I'm not going to lie, peels can sting. But my theory is that if you can feel it burn that means it's doing it's job (tip- this theory only works if you are having treatment done by a professional! If you are doing something to your skin at home that is burning you may be doing more harm than good!)
I used to have Power Pumpkin Peels (or "pumpkin power" as I called them until I googled it and was proved wrong...)
The peel is used to descrease the amount of existing acne and helps to prevent future breakouts.
The one used on me was very strong and the strength was increased each time so that the results would be more beneficial. I remember it smelling quite peculiar aswell...
The peel is applied just like a cleanser, massaged into the skin, and then left to absorb for a short while. They then wash it off and a protective spf mosturiser is applied!
The peel can leave your face looking red as it works to remove the top layer of skin; I never put make-up on after having any treatments (as I feel as though I'm re-blocking my pores) so I found it extremely embarassing to walk through the streets of Manchester with a bright red face to get back to my car!
Your skin will probably also become quite dry as the skins surface re-forms and it is recommended you stay out of the sun as your skin will naturally have become more sensitive during the treatment.
The Power Pumpkin Peel is part of the DermaQuest skin range http://www.dermaquestinc.com/ I had mine done at the Skin Health Spa in Manchester.
