    Have any of you used peels on your chest or hands? I have only done them on my face but my hands are looking in need of a peel and I would like to tackle the sun damage on my chest.
    If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!

    I havent but when I was researching which peel to go for I found loads of people who started on their hands to see if it worked. the glyco seems to get the best results from the anecdotal evidence I can see
  • Forever young has an online shop. That's where I order from.

    I always do my hands and chest with my peel.

    I'd like to spot treat with a tca. I am tempted but where to order from?

    Giving my face a rest for a while. I bought some Est!e Lauder night repair serum in the boots point event :D and I'm slapping that on my face at the moment. Very impressed with it.

    Im gonna do a search, Forever young had it on ebay. Wanna check which strength to start with and what to use afterwards will let you know what its like (stingy I think) and the results.
  • Makeup artists choice has some good products but they're a U.S. Site so I've never ordered from them. Skin obsessions is another.

    I must admit, my skin was looking a bit dire and I did consider a chemical peel but I bought some Clinique Clarifying lotion from my local Debenhams and its made one heck of a difference (still doesn't make me look 20 though :D). Ive heard it likened to paint stripper... though I wouldn't go that far, I will continue to use it.

    I think I can forget about the chemical peel for now.

    A) TCA over Christmas
    B) Glycolic every other week and continue with the Mandelic?
  • Please bear in mind the tca will make you look terrible for at least 7-10 days :)
