"Hi, my name is Mary Thinnes and I'm a skin care expert. I'm going to discuss with you now chemical peels that are appropriate for mature skin. The chemical peels that would be appropriate for mature skin, glycolic is a good chemical to use for their skin type as well because glycolic actually plumps up the skins so it'll help diminish the appearance of those fine lines and make the skin look more glowing. What I'm going to do right now is go with a glycolic booster which is actually glycolic acid but a step up. So its good for mature skin because it actually give them a little bit more hydration and plumping. Again I've already prepped her skin with the papaya. Now I'm going to go ahead and apply the glycolic with my fingers again with gloved hands. Again I'm going to apply it and I'm going to keep it on for ten minutes if she can tolerate the ten minutes. Otherwise, pretty much gauge and if she's really red or too sensitive in some areas I'm going to have to neutralize that and take it off right away. But like I've mentioned, glycolic is actually a good acid for mature skin. That being said this is the chemical peel that is appropriate for mature skin."
