Lighten Skin Naturally Fast! #DIYDAY



Hi my loves! So I know this is a very controversial topic.. so let me just explain WHY this DIY is awesome and why it wont change the ENTIRE colour of your skin, but rather lighten up any dark patches and uneven skin. 

Rice flour has been a beauty secret of the Geishas (known for their porcelain skin among other things) for many years! 

Rice flour has been used in many Japanese skincare brands (tatcha etc) because it is high in powerful antioxidants that boost skins collagen production, as well as act as a sunscreen. 

So this will NOT lighten your skin to a whole new shade, this is NOT skin bleaching, nor do I recommend skin bleaching, nor do I think that having fair skin is the only way to be beautiful! NOPE! I know as brown skinned women, we have been told for MANY years that the more fair you are, the more beautiful you are, and that is JUST NOT THE CASE! 

It makes me sad to know that even though we are in the year 2015, I still get comments like "you would be prettier if you were more fair skinned" or other young girls get comments like "youll never find a husband because youre so dark" and its very common in places like india/pakistan etc to lighten up your skin for more opportunity in the job market or even in relationships and we need to stand against that and be confident and comfortable in the skin that we are in.. because guess what.. 

ALLL SKIN COLOURS are absolutely beautiful! By me posting this DIY I AM NOT in ANY WAY saying that you NEED to lighten your skin, I am posting this DIY because it has been requested and it has been something that I have been using to brighten up the burns that were left on my face from a product that just wasnt meant for my skin. 

This is for those of you who are suffering from acne dark spots, from burn marks, from sun spots or uneven tan, to lighten that up to your original skin tone and even brighten up your skin because that is what rice flour does. 

When you exfoliate, you reveal new skin that has not seen sun or has been damaged from certain products, so it will be lighter/brighter. This has really helped a lot to lighten my burn marks and I couldnt be happier with the results :)

I did this every other day to achieve quicker results, but you could also do this once a week or twice a week depending on your skin. After this has fully dried on ur skin use lukewarm water to exfoliate it off and apple your favourite toner, facial oil or moisturizer!

TCA Peels For Face And Body

Some dermatologists, in fact, still prefer TCA peels for treating sun damage or melasma, usually in combination with prescription creams. TCA peels are safe in the hands of an experienced dermatologist. TCA may be a good option, particularly if you have melasma, because many lasers are difficult to use when treating melasma.



TCA peels can be done at different depths from shallow to deep. Most dermatologists now are using laser technology instead of deep TCA peels, but light to medium depth peels are still in widespread use.

Lighter TCA peels are usually done in a series of 2 or 3 for best results. This is similiar to other light peels that usually involve hydroxy acids such as glycolic, salicylic, or a mixture of other hydroxy acids. Medium depth TCA peels are usually done once or twice a year and do require some downtime – usually about a week – when the peeling is obvious.

The face, neck, chest, back, arms, and legs. TCA peels may be very cost effective on the body because larger areas can be done at less cost than a laser. However, the risks of problems may also be greater unless the dermatologist is very experienced with TCA on the body.

Some doctors like to do a combination of peels and skin bleaching creams.

How much do TCA peels cost?

This really depends on where you live, the depth of peel and the areas you are peeling. TCA peels can run from $300 to $1,000 for a full face peel and are often done in a series. A full face, neck, and chest will cost more.

Glycolic Peel Gone Badly Wrong video




What is a Glycolic Peel?


A Glycolic Peel is also known as an alpha hydroxy acid peel.
Glycolic acid is a natural acid derived from fruit acid found in sugar cane and citrus fruits. It can, however, also be man-made.
Glycolic peels are chemical peels that are used in cosmetic procedures. This peel not only works on the outermost skin level, it also penetrates to the deeper skin layers.
The peel removes the top layer of skin, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. It is a rapid exfoliant that will slough away dead, dry skin cells resulting in an even-toned, radiant and glowing appearance. Your newly exfoliated skin will feel soft and smooth, turning your problem skin into flawless skin.

Who is a candidate for a Glycolic Peel?

Many types of people will benefit from a Glycolic Peel. If you have fine lines and wrinkles, the glycolic acid minimizes their appearance. This is also an excellent choice for application to blemishes and freckles.
Melanin, located primarily in the outer layers of the skin, provides skin color. When the peel is applied to the skin, it breaks up the excess melanin, giving you a more natural looking skin tone.
A Glycolic Peel can also be used in the prevention and treatment of acne and on areas of sun-damaged skin that can potentially contain pre-cancerous cells.

Procedure

Initially, your face will be thoroughly cleansed. The Glycolic Peel will then be applied and allowed to penetrate for several minutes prior to being neutralized and removed with an alkaline solution or water. When your treatment is complete, the skin will have a pinkish tint, with a cream being applied immediately following after the treatment. You may feel a tingly sensation during treatment, which is normal, and it is recommended pain medication be taken prior to the peel.
Once the Glycolic Peel is completed, it is recommended you use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 that is applied several times throughout each day. Application of a cream recommended by Dr. Krant should be applied nightly and is an important part of your typically short recovery process.

What is a TCA peel used for?




What is a TCA peel used for?
A TCA peel is most commonly used for:
  • to reduce brown spots and age spots
  • to improve the texture of leathery, sun damaged skin and impart more glow
  • to improve melasma
  • to treat some types of acne
  • to reduce fine lines
What is a TCA peel?
TCA is a non-toxic chemical (trichloracetic acid), which has been used to perform skin peels for over 20 years. It is a relative of vinegar (acetic acid.) When TCA is applied to the skin, it causes the top layers of cells to dry up and peel off over a period of several days to one week. When the old skin is peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin, which has a smoother texture and more even color.
Some dermatologists, in fact, still prefer TCA peels for treating sun damage or melasma, usually in combination with prescription creams. TCA peels are safe in the hands of an experienced dermatologist. TCA may be a good option, particularly if you have melasma, because many lasers are difficult to use when treating melasma.

How do peels work and what are the different depth peels?
All peels work by removing a layer of sun damaged skin. Superficial or "light" peels remove only the top layer, mostly the layer of dead skin called the stratum corneum. Progressing from medium to deep peels, the layer of skin removed is greater with each increase in strength of the peel solution. The stronger the peel solution the greater the risk of complications like uneven pigment or even scarring.
TCA peels can be done at different depths from shallow to deep. Most dermatologists now are using laser technology instead of deep TCA peels, but light to medium depth peels are still in widespread use. 
Lighter TCA peels are usually done in a series of 2 or 3 for best results. This is similiar to other light peels that usually involve hydroxy acids such as glycolic, salicylic, or a mixture of other hydroxy acids. Medium depth TCA peels are usually done once or twice a year and do require some downtime - usually about a week - when the peeling is obvious

What areas can be treated?
The face, neck, chest, back, arms, and legs. TCA peels may be very cost effective on the body because larger areas can be done at less cost than a laser. However, the risks of problems may also be greater unless the dermatologist is very experienced with TCA on the body.
When considering peels of non-facial areas, it's important to realize that these areas do not heal as well as the face, and the desired results are not as predictable. It is important to note that you should never peel more than a small percentage of the body at one time in order to avoid any chance of potential toxicity.

What are the pros and cons of a TCA peel versus treating the same problem with a laser?
Many dermatologists use lasers now rather than TCA peels because the lasers can be controlled more precisely limiting complications. Peel solutions can be less predictable because the exact strenth of the solution, the prepeel clean (defatting), and the ability of the skin to absorb the peel solution are all variables that can be difficult to precisely control. 
Still, some dermatologists who are experienced get excellent results. Deep TCA peels, because of the risk of uneven absorption, blistering, and possible scarring, should be performed only by board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons who are experienced in this procedure.
Also, many patients with sundamaged skin have some redness or dilated blood vessels that need to be treated as well. The IPL laser systems can treat both the redness and the sun spots at the same time.  Sometimes peels and lasers may be used in combination. 
Another advantage to lasers is that many problems can now be treated with immediate return to normal activities. A medium depth TCA peel usuall requires some time off to heal.

 How long do the effects of a TCA peel last?
This depends on the depth of the peel and the extent of your continuing sun exposure.  Your dermatologist should be able to give you an estimate.

When will I see results from my TCA peel?
As soon as you finish peeling you will see results. Your skin should continue to improve for 30-60 days as long as you are protected from the sun.

How much do TCA peels cost?
This really depends on where you live, the depth of peel and the areas you are peeling. TCA peels can run from $300 to $1,000 for a full face peel and are often done in a series. A full face, neck, and chest will cost more.

What does a TCA peel feel like?  Is it painful?
The peel goes something like this.  When you arrive, you will be put in a room and be asked to get comfortable on an exam table. Your skin will be cleansed several times with liquid cleanser, alcohol and possibly acetone.  It's important that all the oil be off the skin so the peel solution will penetrate evenly. Then the peel solution is applied and sometimes this is done in two stages. There is some stinging and a sensation of heat while the peel solution is active. Sometimes a small handheld fan is used for cooling in this stage. Then an ointment is applied to speed healing and post care instructions are given. 

What will I look like right after the treatment, and what will the healing time be?
You will usually peel for about one week with a medium peel. The skin will be a light yellow after the procedure for 1-2 hours. This color will gradually fade. The skin will be slightly redder for 2-3 days after the peel and feel tight.

Avoid all sun exposure. You will begin to peel approximately 48-72 hours after the treatment and the peeling will last generally 2-5 days. There is no pain but the skin looks as if it has a severe sunburn.  You will be more sensitive to sunlight for 4-8 weeks after so don't plan any sunny vacations for at least a month.

What are the possible side effects and complications of a TCA peel?
Your provider will give you specific instructions on pre-treatment and post-treatment care and expectations. And if you are going to take any pain medications, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Your provider will also give you a list of side effects, but here are some possible side effects or issues:
  1. Pain. There is usually no discomfort after the peel, but, in case there is mild discomfort, pain medications can be provided.
  2. Redness. A pink or red coloration of the skin may persist for 2-8 weeks after a TCA peel. In rare instances, redness may persist up to six months. This can occur all over or only in certain spots.
  3. Wound Healing. The TCA peel causes a superficial wound to the skin that takes approximately 5-7 days to heal. Once the surface is treated, it may be pink and may be sensitive to the sun for approximately 2-8 weeks.
  4. Pigment Changes. The treated area may heal with increased or decreased pigmentation. This occurs most often in darker pigmented skin. The darker or lighter areas usually fadee in three to six months, though pigment change can be permanent.
  5. Swelling. Immediately after the TCA peel, there will be mild to moderate swelling of the skin. This is a temporary condition and will resolve over two to three days.
  6. Scarring. There is a very small chance of scarring. This includes hypertrophic scars or, very rarely, keloid scars. Keloid scars are very heavy, raised scar formations. To minimize chances of scarring, it is important that you follow post-operative instructions carefully. It is important that any prior history of unfavorable healing be reported.
  7. Eye Exposure. There is also a risk of harmful eye exposure with a TCA peel. Your provider should give you protective eyewear. It is important that you keep your eyes closed and have protective eyewear at all times during the treatment.
  8. Sun sensitivity.  You will be sensitive to the sun for 6-8 weeks after the treatment and will need to protect your skin daily from the sun with sunscreen, hats and sunglasses.
  9. Accutane. Generally, you should not have a medium depth peel if you have used Accutane in the last 12 months.
  10. Cold Sores. If you are prone to herpes (cold sores, fever blisters), you may need a prescription for acyclovir or famvir prior to having medium depth Peel. You will need to avoid exfoliating treatments during a herpes breakout.
