Larisa: I lived with my skin until the age of 36, and I knew no grief. Once a month I went to a beautician for light peels. I decided to do a stronger peeling. As a result, the skin began to peel off like a stocking. Pores widened. They became not round, but elongated, as if veins with holes. I went to a beautician for help. She performed mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid with the help of a machine. Face swollen, eyes puffy, all skin wrinkled and turned into a rag. Then did a 50% almond peel with pH 1.5 on the whole face and eyelids.
It's been five months. The swelling went down. But the skin remained stretched, wrinkled, and the eyelids became flabby. The skin under my eyes hangs like two bags. Not one moisturizing cream my skin doesn't accept it. It feels like it's dead. Pigmentation has appeared, although I constantly protect my skin from the sun. On the place where the mesotherapy was performed, there are scars from injections, which are constantly inflamed. The whole skin is covered with small pimples. In place of those that come off, there are holes.
It's been two years. My skin is recovering, but very, very slowly. However, after the information I received on your site, it has become easier for me to regulate my skin care. Thanks to the Vaseline, my skin is pinker and a little tighter. Gradually the wrinkles are not as deep. All in all, life goes on! Thank you!
Ditta: I read Larisa's post. My story is very similar to her sad story. I am 33. I had no skin problems until now. No one gave me my age. I looked younger than my years. A year ago I had fraxel around my eyes and elos on the rest of my face. The treatments were done at the same time by a cosmetic surgeon. A month after the procedures, my skin sagged, wrinkled, the corner of my left eye pulled down. My facial features had changed a lot. I now look much older than my years.
During the last year I have done a lot of different procedures: mesotherapy, biorevitalization, had to pump fillers. My skin is still wrinkled, as if I were not 30 but 50. The skin is dry, it constantly shrinks. The cosmetologist offers to inject filler under the skin again. But I no longer trust anyone.

It is impossible to give any recommendations on the current situation, especially in absentia. If someone is still at the stage of reflection, not action, read the article "In search of a good beautician: measure 10 times!"
Try along with this article "What am I doing wrong with my skin?" analyze your own situation. Maybe the thought of going to a cosmetologist will fall away by itself.
The main thing to remember is that any cosmetic procedure is a stress to the skin. Usually after such procedures, the skin is severely dehydrated. In the West, cosmetology recommends using mineral oil creams during the recovery period. And to put it simply - banal well-cleansed petroleum jelly. Not expensive creams costing hundreds of dollars. It is vaseline.
For skin care, read the section The magic of skincare.

My case. I went to a beautician twice. First I wanted to clean my skin with ultrasound, but I was told it would not help and did peeling, which made my cheeks look like fresh meat for a week. At the same time black spots did not go anywhere. Therefore, when I got on a complex spa program to another beautician and he told me that I need mechanical cleaning, for me this profession ceased to exist.
Natural masks, light scrubs and pore narrowing creams do a great job with my pores. And without any irritation and trauma to the skin. The main thing is to observe your skin and understand what it needs at this stage.
If you have skin with wide pores, it could mean that you are too into alkaline cosmetics. Usually it's alkaline face washes. And at the same time you forget to apply something acidic after the lye, at least kilomoloknye products. In this way you kind of "dampen" the destructive effect of alkali on your skin. As soon as you start taking care of your skin according to its natural structure and functions, your problems will gradually disappear. True, you may experience some discomfort in the process, skin tightness, flakiness, red spots. But this is nothing compared to cosmetic purgatives, etc., etc. The skin will recover with proper care within 40 days. That's the cell cycle of the skin. You can't expect results sooner. Astringents are also good for wide pores. These properties have tea, herbs such as witch hazel or witch hazel or witch hazel. Details can be found on our website. Well, scrubs are not yesterday, but even the day before yesterday. Masks on oily skin - only dilute bacteria. And creams should be applied to the skin after acidic toning.
To beauticians for cleaning went often in Soviet times, now I have long ago do not trust modern beauticians, I go only to one woman if something is very necessary, I just do not believe them, at one time took advice from your site, now the information is much less, but at 49 I think that I look not bad, without any botox.
No, the information is still there. Apparently, the site has grown so much that it's hard to find what you need there.
