Hi Lisa- would you ever use the Cranberry Turnover on a Rosacea client? I am asking b/c a friend works at a medi-spa where they use a 25% salicylic acid as a Rosacea peel. I'd love feedback on this. Thanks! :-)

I just used the coconut/papaya under the LED full face panel for 10 minutes. Cleaned her off and then another 10 minutes under the panel. Her skin looked FABULOUS afterwards!

OK great, thanks so much Lisa!! No, I haven't used it YET- but SOON! I am getting my esthetics studio set up and opening in the next week... so I am going to experiment with the enzymes on my rosacea friend since she's willing. :-) I can't wait!!

Hi Gina: Yes, the Coconut/Papaya is great for sensitive and rosacea skin. If you haven't tried it, you're missing the boat! It's really softening. For rosacea I recommend the Retinol 2% Exfoliating scrub at home used ever so gently on the skin, then rinsed off. She can use it 2 times per week without irritation because it's not staying on the skin.
Rosacea is one of those conditions that gets treated many different ways. I used to work for a physician who told me to use microderm on rosacea because of the "mites" in the skin. It didn't seem right to me. I hear a lot of different opinions when it comes to this skin condition. I treat it very gently.

Now- I have another question for you! :-) (sorry!! I am full of questions...)
I have a friend with Rosacea. She is in need of exfoliation, but she is very cautious (as she should be) about using anything rough or irritating on her skin. In the past she's had disastrous experiences with people doing microdermabrasion and strong glycolic peels on her (!!!), which made it sooo much worse. So of course she is gun-shy.
I know you recommend the kiwi/papaya enzyme for rosacea (which I really hope you decide to keep!!) Is the coconut one also good for rosacea? and- how do you recommend incorporating this treatment for a rosacea client?
She is willing to let me do a "test" on her to see how she reacts to it. I plan to just do one small part of her cheek....
I know a lot of people suffer from rosacea and this is something I'd really like to learn more about and be able to help people with.
Thank you!

Hi Gina: If you do a light peel, I think a gentle scrub is okay, but if they are in a full flake, I don't want any exfoliants pulling off the skin before it's ready to come off.

wonderful! thank you Lisa. :-)
Would you recommend a gentle scrub while they're peeling? or would that be too harsh?

Hi Gina: The Cranberry Turnover is a 20% salicylic is a cranberry cream base. It's great for oily and acneic skin. Contraindications would be (1) aspirin allergies, (2) accutane, (3) retin-a, (4) antibiotics. I'm careful with a 20% salicylic on Fitz 4-6. It's a hot peel (8 on a scale of 1-10) and it will penetrate the skin and results in some frosting. Expect 4-6 days of flaking and modify their homecare to a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and spf during the flaking process. Approximately day 5, your client should be reporting clear skin with a reduction in redness and inflammation (this is due to the cranberry).
If you are ever concerned about using a peel on a client, always patch test behind the ear.

Hi Lisa- would you mind listing some of the contraindications you teach for using the Cranberry Turnover Peel? I am putting together an info sheet for my clients, and want to make sure I'm covering everything.
Thank you!

State Boards run by cosmetologists not estheticians...yes very limiting.
Very frustrating....
I vote to keep Kiwi!!! :-)
