I'm planning to have a chemical peel. My beautician says that after it, I should avoid going to the tanning salon, otherwise, pigmentation might appear. Or, if I do go, I should cover my face so that only my body gets tanned. Has anyone had this procedure? Is it true that pigmentation can appear on the face and it's better not to go to the tanning salon???

What's the most convenient? Scrubs don't seem effective enough to me, perhaps there are some very light chemical peel-rolls, so you apply, wait a bit, rub and okay, no ingrown hairs?

Good day to you. Not too long ago, I created a topic with the same title, before trying this method, and now I want to share the results (or rather, complain about their absence). I'm using two peels from Cosmoterus: a 30% almond pH 1.5 and a 70% glycolic pH 2.4. The procedures were carried out every 3-4 days. The almond one was first. Three procedures - zero results. Instead of the 4-6 minutes stated on the bottle, I kept it on for 30 to 45 minutes each time. It didn't sting, didn't turn red (except maybe a little around the nostrils), there was no peeling at all. I couldn't even achieve the slightest flaking. Well, next was the glycolic. Yesterday I did the second procedure. Instead of the stated 1-3 minutes - 10-15 minutes (I didn't dare leave the glycolic on for half an hour, just in case) - zero results. And, note, both peels are among the strongest in terms of concentration available in the category of superficial peels in general. I wanted to order 0.7 pH instead of 2.4 pH right away, but they dissuaded me, saying it's too wild to use such at home. The result after five procedures - a slight facial glow. That's it. No side effects, no expected result. I didn't even use a neutraliser, just washed it off with water. The expected results were: to remove a few post-acne from the cheeks and temples and a couple of very small atrophic scars after the same pimples. The result is COMPLETELY absent. I think even clay and badyaga masks would have given more results in these two weeks. Tell me, am I doing something wrong? The peel is a quality French one. It was ordered from a cosmetologist, not just anywhere. I read reviews on various recommend ru and others (truly unbiased) resources. Someone removes post-acne with a few procedures of 5% (!) peel, and someone with a peel comparable in effectiveness to mine - after one or two procedures, the face is unrecognisable. How!? I don't even know what to do next. Total disappointment ☹️.

Hello. I have darkening of the facial skin, especially the forehead. The forehead is darker than the cheeks. I have been in the sun for a long time since childhood and I think it's pigmentation. And the colour of the face is so dark. Masks, kefir, and scrubs do not help. Is it too early for me to have chemical peels? I'm 23. I want to restore my natural face colour. I want to get rid of pigmentation. But how?
