Unsure if it was the enzyme peel with lactic or is this normal?

Question

I recently had a facial including extractions, product and a fruit enzyme peel and I believe something with lactic acid. It's been two weeks and my skin is still broken out in a rash and itchy. I normally have very dry skin but after my morning routine the glow mistakes people for oily and it's not. What have I done wrong and how do I proceed?

Lisa Jenks, MD · Answer

It is unusual that mild peels (such as fruit enzyme and/or lactic) would cause itchy skin two weeks later.  I wonder if you are having an allergic reaction to a product you are currently using.  I would recommend stopping all of your products (including make up) and using a very mild cleanser and moisturizer (i.e. Cetaphil) for about a week.  If your skin clears up, you can then start, one by one, reintroducing your normal products.  This should help you to discover what is irritating your skin.Best of luck to you.
