The treatment
Having never done any type of chemical peel, it was important that I had consultation to discuss my skin concerns, how to use the products, and how they would affect my skin. My AlumierMD skin expert recommended double cleansing the skin to start, once to remove makeup and any other impurities, and then again to make sure everything has gone, then I applied a thin layer of the Enzymatic Peel to my face and neck. She recommended leaving it on for one to three minutes for sensitive skin, three to seven minutes for normal skin and up to 10 minutes for resilient skin. I went for five minutes for the first time, and later increased this to seven minutes for the following two treatments, which I did a week and two weeks later. The mask goes on like a thin gel and feels slightly tingly, but don’t worry, that means it’s working! I washed it off with lukewarm water and patted my skin dry to avoid irritation. As these are medical-grade and stronger than products I have used before, I was careful not to leave it on for longer than recommended to avoid any inflammation on my skin. I followed with a thick layer of the Aqua Infusion Mask, which you can leave on for 10-15 minutes before washing off with warm water and patting dry. I then applied the AlumierMD Acne Balancing Serum which contains salicylic acid and finished off with one to two pumps of the HydraRich moisturiser.
