Im on my 6th day of the VI Peel. My skin has peeled around the nose, chin, lower cheeks and jawline, but the upper cheeks, forehead and hairline are still tight, scab-like and definately not peeling in loose sheets like everyone says. I somehow feel that I am not peeling as quickly as I should. Is this normal? I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the aesthetician giving me a post-peel care kit that had only 1 towelette and not 2 like everyone says it should? Any feedback would be appreciated.
