This is day 3 of my Perfect Derma peel, and I don't really see that much peeling except around my mouth and nose.

Asked By:danaelainem in Las Vegas, NV

My skin doesn't even feel dry anywhere else. I am trying to figure out what went wrong? I had a professional apply it and I have followed all the instructions given to me. I have also had TCA peels and my whole face was extremely tight by day three and peeling everywhere. (I am a light-skinned African American by the way)
