Use as a Mask

Herbal Power Peel Resurfacing Exfoliant is versatile and may be used as a mask, scrub or peeling treatment. Redness, warmth, tingling, and unusual lingering prickly sensations are normal. The depth of the peel is determined by the amount and time product is rubbed into the skin. 

Mix a pinch of peel powder with 1-2 Tablespoons of any facial wash. Apply mixture and scrub the skin for 2-3 minutes keeping skin wet with warm water. Allow to remain on skin for 5-10 minutes. Rinse well and apply protective skin care products. For more intensive treatment, mix powder with Herbal Power Peel AHA Alpha Hydroxy Activator or Herbal Power Pigment Blaster Skin Wash. Another option is to add 1/2 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the mixture.  Hydrogen peroxide aids in penetration, but is optional. Do not use only water to activate the treatment. Pinkness and a tingling prickly sensation may occur. Use 1-3 times per week. 

Mix 1/2 teaspoon of peel powder with 1-2 Tablespoons of any facial cleanser or moisturizer or jojoba oil. The type of chosen activator will depend on the skin type. Scrub mixture into skin for 4-6 minutes keeping skin wet with warm water. Leave on as a mask for 10-15 minutes. Rinse well and apply protective skin care products. You may experience some warmth, redness, tingling, prickly sensations and some discomfort that may last up to 24 hours. For a more intensive treatment, mix powder with Herbal Power Peel AHA Activator or Herbal Power Peel Pigment Blaster Skin Wash. Another option is to add 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the mixture. Hydrogen peroxide aids in penetration, but is optional. Do not use only water to activate peel. Some dryness and mild flaking may occur. Use 1-2 times per month. 

For a detoxifying or acne mask, mix about 1/2 teaspoon of powder with any prepared wet mask or aloe or clay, etc. Apply with a soft facial brush avoiding the eyes. Do not scrub. Cover skin with damp cloth and leave for 15-20 minutes. For more intensive mask, 1/2 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen may be added. Use weekly 

Wear protective gloves. After cleansing skin, wipe with alcohol. Protect vulnerable areas with vaseline. Mix 1 large teaspoon/5grams of powder with 1-2 Tablespoons of Herbal Power Peel AHA Activator or any facial wash or moisturizer or jojoba oil depending on skin type. Apply mixture to skin with facial brush. Scrub and massage mixture into skin for 6-15 minutes keeping skin wet with warm water. Next, cover the skin with a damp cloth soaked in water and 1 teaspoon 3% Hydrogen Peroxide for 20 minutes. The skin should feel warm, sensitive, irritated, and prickly. Rinse well and do not apply anything or wash skin for 24 hours. On day 2, skin may be gently washed with a non soap cleanser like Ceravie or Cetaphil. Apply Vaseline or Aquaphor several times per day until skin is peeled and healed. On day 3, mist or splash the skin with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in 1/2 cup water. Use several times per day to cleanse, soften, balance and calm the skin. Apply  any regenerative healing post peel balm 2-3 times per day for the following 5-7 days to help rebuild skin barrier. For more intensive peel, peel process may be repeated on day 2. Expect light to moderate flaking and peeling for up to 7 days. If possible, try not to get the skin very wet during the peel process. Use every 4-6 weeks.

For more intensive treatment, mix powder with Herbal Power Peel AHA Activator. Another option is to add 1/2-1 teaspoon of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to the mixture. Hydrogen peroxide aids in penetration but is optional.

IMPORTANT

• Do not perform the deeper peel if prone to oral herpes. Take an antiviral before, during and after the peel.
• Do not use acids, exfoliants, Retin-A, sun tanning 1 week prior and 3 weeks post peel. No Accutane for 1 year prior.
• Never pull off any loose or hanging skin. Trim with small scissors.
• Darker and Ethnic skin types must pre-treat with pigment lighteners for 1 month prior, during and after the peel to avoid darkening or Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation.
• Repeated peels may be necessary to obtain best results.
• Do not apply peel to large areas of body at one time. Apply on different days.
• Do not use only water to activate the peel. Water evaporates quickly and does not provide enough glide on the skin.
• Apply regenerative post peel products to aid in rebuilding the skin barrier.
• For pigmentation, use a lightening product in conjunction with the peel. Herbal Power Peel does not contain any skin lighteners.
• Do not over scrub the skin. Do not expose the skin to sun. Always use full sunblock!
