PLUS if im indoors di i need toreapply sunscreen thruout day, and there have been times ive walked out house 10mins after applying sunscreen, even though i jsut read now that ur meant to apply for half hour before going out…:bummer:

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

I think you'll be fine if you're more regular about wearing sunscreen now. And there's some type of glass doors/windows that don't let in UV rays...so check that out, maybe you have something like that.

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

You need to be consistent about that sunscreen nadz...its no joke lady.

I tend not to wear it indoors but keep my blinds and shades closed.
I've just got mac prep and prime spf50 and I'm in LOVE!!!!! Like seriously love this stuff. My makeup stays put and it's not greasy like other high factor sunscreens.

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen…

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

ya I also give it only 10 minutes.

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

I'm too lazy to research this, but what does a lactic peel help with?

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

I've made it part of my daily routine in the morning.

There are days I won't wear makeup BUT as soon as I moisturize...I will put sunscreen over it right away. I don't make it a separate step or try to remember to do it later on. Its all in one go so by the time I leave the house...its already been about 30-45 minutes.

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

ok quick Q, my skins ok, not darkened due to my stupidy, but if it has, or did, can it be reversed byy now diligiently using sunscreen and doing the peels .....

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

if you continue with the peels and consistently wear the sunscreen...the hyper-pigmentation will fade away, yes.

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

ok thanks

also has anyones else pigmentation from acne faded or faded completly? from the peels. how long did it take.

omg, peels and sunscreen...

I've been using tretonin and glycolic acid peels 40/50 %. Tbh I've only done about 3 peels since the beginning of the year but I use the cream about twice a week and I've notices my scars fade q a bit. I've got a couple of scars on my face from something else and I have/had acne marks. The acne marks are now only noticeable to me and the other scars are really faint too. Mine weren't Really bad to begin with but this has Definatly helped. I'm super pleased.

Re: omg, peels and sunscreen...

^ I'm very happy for you! :) Keep up the good work! (it also sounds like you're being patient and taking it slow...which is a good thing!).
