Since we all saw the results of Kerrie's RP Peel it was decided that we should all experience what this procedure was like.
The RP peel is a 10 day procedure that peels away dead, redundant skin while rebuilding a healthy, stronger skin cell.
The process is 2 days of peel application in clinic, then an enzyme lift off at day 5 and 10, again done in clinic with our paramedical therapist.
Please note that this RP peel was done during the isolation COVID-19 crisis. All treatments are done in clinic and by a trained Paramedical therapists.
Mary's Story
Ever since I was young, ageing has always been a concern of mine. Not because I aged early but because of my genetics. I worried I would grow up to be as wrinkly as my grandma! I always had excessively oily skin growing up and the occasional breakout in my adolescence and it never really went away. My main concerns on my skin have always been my skin texture, uneven skin tone and most of all the wrinkles under my eyes! Which ultimately made me the most insecure.
When I started in the beauty industry I learnt that sunscreen was essential for anti ageing. So since I was 18 it has been part of my morning skin care routine.
I've always been someone who doesn't eat too bad and tried to stick to healthy clean eating as much as I can, but despite this the ageing process is inevitable. No matter what product I used it was only a temporary fix for all my other skin concerns.
DMK has been my skins turning point...
Since becoming a DMK therapist I've learnt so much about the many factors that contributed to my skin concern.
On my DMK skin journey, I have not only been committed to my skin regime but also been working on my internal health by taking the Regul8 supplements to balance back my healthy gut flora. But ultimately I felt I needed just that little bit more.
I decided to have an RP Peel to better the great results I've gotten from DMK Enzyme facials and DMK home care.
Day 1
In Clinic the therapist will
- Cleanse
- Apply Peel solution, this stays on for 8-12 hours so you can go home
HOW I FELT
Stingy and slightly uncomfortable throughout the day, and just knowing its on my face makes me want to scratch and remove it! Feeling tighter throughout the day still feel tingling but nothing unbearable Just washed it off and felt so tender, basically feeling pretty raw. Like I'm getting a new face ha ha. Feeling a little overwhelmed knowing that for a short period of time my face won't quite look the same, although I'm keeping my focus on the end goal which is a healthy, glowing complexion.
Day 2
No morning routine, straight into next layers
In Clinic your therapist will
- Cleanse
- Apply 2nd Layer of Peel Solution, again this stays on for 8-12 hours At Home after the 8-12 hours you can remove with cleanser and apply home care prescriptives
- Same as above
HOW I FELT
Feeling a little tight and so dehydrated but otherwise unless I look in the mirror feel normal. I look pretty swollen but it is a sign that my skin is working well with the peel No stinging or discomfort. Feeling like a freak Really avoiding the mirror but also so curious regardless of knowing the benefits I cant help bit feel a little low. Feeling edgy and easily frustrated because of the discomfort but no pain at all.
Applying the second layer of RP Peel was certainly daunting. Instead of using the hand held folding fan I switched to an electric fan to give me more relief from the peel application. After the solution was finished being applied I was able to sit up and felt a lot more comfortable.
You can see below that A LOT of my pigmentation has come up under my eyes and mouth area.
Day 3
I woke up and did my morning routine.
Tepid water and a very soft touch I cleansed using
- Deep pore cleanser
- Melanotech drops
- Beta Gel & Direct Delivery Vit C
- Herbal Pigment Oil with Herb & Mineral Mist
- Contraderm with Herb & Mineral Mist
- Solar damage
- SPF
HOW I FELT
Woke up feeling good and my skin isn't feeling raw or stinging at all, just tight.
After my cleanse this morning I then put on all the products, skin felt irritated again, itchy and stingy.
Throughout the day the discomfort of the crackling of my face felt so uncomfortable.
Again I was just in an edgy mood, because I felt like I couldn't do anything which was making me a little irritated and I don't think the isolation helped.
I'm still peeling and crackling and wanting to peel it off.
I can barley open my mouth without discomfort, even to eat and this has got me a little down.
Day 4
Woke up and did my morning routine, this won't change as the products I am using are to support the baby skin cells. The more nutrients, vitamins and minerals they have the better they will function and the longer my skin will stay healthy.
HOW I FELT
I'm feeling so much better today! I woke up feeling so positive, my face is feeling so plump and hydrated, on that note drinking so much more water as I constantly feel thirsty. After my cleanse some of my peeling skin came off. Although there is a small breakout on my chin and neck my skin underneath is looking so youthful and fresh. I'm actually so excited! One of my main concerns has always been under my eyes and looking at that area now I'm actually blown away by the result so far and I know that its only the beginning. Although this journey thus far has been a little overwhelming it is so worth every part of it.
Day 5
I woke up and did my morning routine.
Tepid water and a very soft touch I cleansed using
- Deep pore cleanser
- Melanotech drops
- Beta Gel & Direct Delivery Vit C
- Herbal Pigment Oil with Herb & Mineral Mist
- Contraderm with Herb & Mineral Mist
- Solar damage
- SPF
HOW I FELT
On day 5 I had my first lift off treatment. It's designed to Lift away the dead top layers of skin and because it's also an Enzyme it will encourage blood flow and oxygen uptake to the cells to keep them healthy and functioning optimally!
Below you'll see the left pictures are all my before Lift off and right is after Lift off. You can see a massive difference in my skin already!
Day 7
I woke up and did my morning routine.
Tepid water and a very soft touch I cleansed using
- Deep pore cleanser
- Melanotech drops
- Beta Gel & Direct Delivery Vit C
- Herbal Pigment Oil with Herb & Mineral Mist
- Contraderm with Herb & Mineral Mist
- Solar damage
- SPF
HOW I FELT
Skin still a little sore from the breakouts but looking forward to my enzyme masque today. We made the enzyme a little thicker to really get my skin working on intensely back flushing out the toxins that can be bought up to the surface.
Feeling sore again and frustrated.
DAY 8
How I Felt Feeling good today skin is feeling youthful despite breakouts which kind of adds to the young feel of it. Breakouts are less inflamed and not bothered by them at all. I've also noticed that whilst I've broken out slightly, I'm healing so much more quickly! Skin feels as good as it felt in my 20s looking forward to more results
The final result!
