Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Mary Thinnes and I am a skincare expert. I am going to discuss with you chemical peels that are appropriate for anti-aging skin. Like I mentioned before, vitamin C peels are good for anti-aging skin. Anything that has anti-oxidants is good for anti-aging. Right now, I'm going to mix up a chemical peel for the vitamin C. What you want to do is use 1/3 teaspoons and I'm pretty much eyeballing it. That's the powder form of the vitamin C. Then, you will take the liquid as the base and drop 3 droppers full; so it's 1/3 teaspoon of the powder and 3 droppers of the liquid. A lot of times, you will have to mix the chemicals; they don't come premixed, because they break down. So, I've already mixed it up and now I'm going to apply it to her face. Again, I've already prepped her skin with papaya. I'm going to apply this to her face and then, with vitamin C, you will leave it on for 10 minutes without having any sensitivity. Once that is complete, you are just going to take it of the face. With that being said, that is how to apply a vitamin C chemical peel for anti-aging skin."
