Day 7
I cleansed, toned and applied Cosmelan 2 before bed last night and I've woken up with clear skin. My mark has gone, there are very very faint marks, small white spots but to anyone else I have perfect looking skin. My skin is blemish free all over and has a glow. Today I am so so pleased. My face is still red, hot and very tight but just feels it needs hydration. I can actually go out today make up free, which I could never do before regardless of mark.
Day 6
I'm going out today.... I applied Cosmelan 2 as soon as I got up then showered 3 hours later. Most of my peeling is over with the exception of my bad area and forehead. However my face is still tight and very red. I can only describe it as I look like I have been on a sunbed and fallen asleep! The fast repair came today which stings a little but definitely hydrates but seems a bit oily. My bad area has half peeled. I can't really decide what to think, it definitely looks better especially as I have no make up on but I'm sure I can still see an outline. There is a definite white mark which I did expect as a result of the IPL, but I can live with that rather than the dark mark. I've only put Cosmelan on this morning and I will do again before bed. I couldn't put on mid day as it makes my face so orange I would have felt self conscious. Before Monday I need to figure a way to blend it in. I would like my face to become cooler and less red now. But so far I'm otherwise pleased.
Day 4 to 5
The peeling started round my mouth and nose, the hydra k didn't really give me enough moisture. Very difficult to apply the Cosmelan 2 as my skin is so dry. By end of day my whole face is scaling like a snake. First trip outside to get my nails done and was very self conscious. Everyone said it's not as bad they imagined but I didn't agree. Face very hot and my chin ended up cracking. Clinician has sent fast repair cream to help the dryness. My 'bad' area still not peeling. My end of day 5 signs of healthy skin beginning to show. I dreaded showering as I couldn't stand putting face under water. After shower I cleansed with face cloth which helped the peeling then toned, which stung a little. Lips still swollen slightly. Using hair dryer is a big NO!!!!
