Dear llsunny
I want to send you a heart felt thank you for sharing your experience and photos. You are a lovely woman and I truly appreciate you sharing your experience. I just had a Croton oil (Phenol peel) this last Tuesday October 30th with additional dermabrasion for acne scaring on top of it by Dr. Bensimone in Portland, Or. I am at the five day mark and look pretty yucky. Looking at your photos has provided me support and an understanding of the healing process of this. IAgain, I so appreciate it. I noticed today that I am slightly more redder then yesterday and my skin a bit more irritated then it was a day ago (now on day 5). Dead skin is yellow and goopy looking on my face and I have at times caught a slight smell of what I think is dead flesh. Yucky! Oh, the price for rejuvenation. Trying not to stress and taking it real easy, staying mineralized and hydrated and giving my body a break to heal. Some details for others from my experience. I used polysporin on my face the first two+ days and my faced oozed a lot. I then switched over the a product by Alba called "UnVasoline" because I did not like the idea of putting a byproduct of gasoline on my face. It worked okay. IStarting day #5 I am now using an exceptional product instead of the petroleum jelly alternative and it's making my face feel much better. It's by La Roche Posay and its the Toleriane sensitive part of their skin care line called Toleriane Riche Soothing Protective Cream. I love it. It's hydrating enough and a wonderful barrier, and is just protecting and calming everyting. Would be great at anytime to use. Also taking an interesting glandular supplement by Standard Process called Dermatrophin Pmg (it's Bovine Eithelial Extract) to support the tissue regeneration process. Another thing I have found helpful is taking a very pure buffered form of Ascorbic Acid (vit. C). I love the one by Pure Encapsulations (excellent company), called Buffered Ascorbic Acid. It seems to help take down some of the inflammation and is wonderful to support the collagen building process. I highly recommend it. Very high quality and non allergenic for sensitive individuals. I sip on it in water all day long. Also fish oil and flax oil. Got to keep that inflammation down and it helps.
Blessings to you.
Trish
