Itchy Face Day 3 Still No Peeling? How Do I Stop Itchyness?

i had got the herbal green peel and its so itchy!!!! its day 3 and still no peeling when should my skin start to peel the itchyness is 5 out of 5 please give me more info on itchyness and peeling procedures

A: Try some Cortisone Cream

Sometimes the skin can get itchy with a chemical or herbal peel, much like the skin gets itchy after a sunburn.  It will subside.  Try some over the counter 1% hydrocortisone cream.  Some fresh aloe can be helpful as well.  If you don't have an aloe plant, then an aloe gel can work.  Lily of the Desert is a great brand.

Will a Green Peel Help Sun Damaged and Wrinkled Skin?

I am 47 years old and considering a green peel for my sun damaged and wrinkled skin. I hate the thought of wasting money for little result and want to know if a green peel will work on my skin? Also if I am happy with the result how long could I expect it to last?

A: Yes It Will

A green peel can help for sun-damaged skin.  I do think that for maximum results you will need more than one.  But your skin will look and feel reallys mooth and fresh afterwards.  You should also maintain your results with creams, such as prescription strength retinoid creams (for example, Retin A).

Green Peel - How Much Peeling?

I am getting a green peel tomorrow and I'm concerned of the extent of the peeling as I deal with the public...will it be really noticable?

A: Yes the Peeling Will be Noticeable

The peeling is definitely noticeable.  I have had several green peels and you can see the peeling.  However, you can explain that you had a peel and most people will understand.
