So I recently took a certification class for microdermabrasion and advanced peels. It was great! I learned so many things. I performed a small Salicylic 20% peel on myself to see what it was like. I prefer to experience the services I perform for myself in order to fully understand them. I feel it makes me a better stylist if I have personal knowledge to go along with my education. I thought it was a little stingy which I was told it would be. Salicylic acid is great for acne. I found it kind of drying but that is a normal side effect. The after effects were plumping of the fine lines and after a day or two I noticed the few blemishes I had were gone. I received a few compliments about my skin when I wasn't wearing makeup. The little bit of superficial peeling afterwards was totally managable with moisturizer and light makeup. Now when I say I did this myself A) I am licensed professional with training for this B) I only did a little bit on my cheeks to avoid risking getting it in my eyes C) the product I used is only sold to and meant for professionals and D) I would never recommend
