The redness only lasts about 2 weeks and the peeling will stop around week 5 but you wont start peeling till after week 2 so its not really bad. If anyone asks you can just say you had a peel done and your having some light peeling from it. Its really not a big deal and its so worth it trust me.
No Sorry hun you cant hide it with makeup but I have found that if you use the clairsonic or maybe even the Olay face brush it gets most of the loos peeling skin off then you just put on you products and go you can wear eye makeup but you dont want to wear power or foundation because it makes the peeling look much much worse.
Try to think of the peelsing as a good thing. I know its hard... But your skin is shedding the old yucky skin that needs to be shed. Also your notice your brown spots/freckles fadeing too. This is all a part of your face becomming PERFECT! Yes you can buff/exfoliate the shedding skin anytime it starts. Thats why I recommend the clearsonic it helpped me so much. YES you will peel more around youe mouth. try to remeber this will end soon. Also only use a pea size amount all over your face at night
Hi again, day 7, i am peeling like crazy and am getting quite anxious ! Pls tell me when and if the peeling stops, thanks so much for your reply. The peeling is mainly around my jaw, and mouth area. I have been using a facial buffer. Can I use the buffer anytime the peeling appears? Xx
Hey congrats on starting! You wont regret it just keep up with it and the maintance after. I asked my Dr he said I could use it around my eyes and the Retin A is great for those lines you get around your eyes. Only use a pea size amout of the retin A mix it with the blender then put on your face. I also bought the eye cream Obagi sells its nice too. I want to go get there Vit C line next I have heard great things about it.
Hi Jessa thanx for sharing ! Ive just started my obagi regime, cud u pls tell me the exact name of the skin scrubber thingy ? And how close can I use the products towardsy eyes?
Sorry about the lighting I had recessed lighting in my room at that time and tere was one right above my head and I thought that would be enough Maybe I will try by the window with natural lighting next time.
Yes I put it on my face and neck because I am 34 years old I figured its time to start carring for the neck too now. I will try to find a better location to do my next update. I live on the beach with tons of windows so the lighting is crazy I will work harder on that maybe the time of day or something will help. Take care!
thanks for sharing this.. I wanna ask if you are applying all of those products to your neck as well ? I am on my 11th day on Obagi Nu-derm so I am very interested.I dont apply it to my neck but I 've seen one ytber who applied it to her neck. I wish you could make a video in a brighter area in your house so we could see your face clearly and to see how nice it is now. thanks again.
Yes you have to use it or a type of Retin A cream with the system or it wont work. Thats why you have to get the system from a Dr. I use the lowest % of the Trentinoin cream. 0.25% I used too much at 1st you only need a pea size amount. After I figured that out I felt the system worked much better. It spreads real easy and the less used around your eyes, mouth and nose the better. I had dry Bumpy acne skin plus it was winter when I started so my Dr wanted to start me off slow.
Do you do the clarsonic before you do your morning routine?
