I appreciate you asking! My results have been great. I&#039;ve gone off Rogaine for long stretches and then gone back on it, and I started again about 4 months ago. I use it pretty sparingly now, just a little applied with a Q-tip along my hairline about 4 days a week, and my hairline looks great. When I&#039;ve stopped in the past, the hairline issues do come back, but it seems like I&#039;ve kept some of the regrowth each time. I just can&#039;t say how much. I&#039;m planning to update this post with new pictures and videos soon.]]></description>

Hi Dee! 
That Paula&#039;s Choice product sounds like a really nice multi-acid blend. 
For how often, the manufacturer says once a week and that&#039;s a fine starting point. 

But honestly, it helps to just see how your skin responds first before locking into a schedule. If your skin is calm with no lingering redness or sensitivity between peels, once a week is usually fine. If not, space them out. Some weeks I do a peel, some weeks I skip it. 

As for the 20% glycolic - once you&#039;ve been doing the Paula&#039;s Choice peel for a while and your skin is handling it well, that&#039;s a good time to try it. I&#039;ve always been able to do a 20% glycolic once a week without any issues, and to me 20% isn&#039;t too strong, but it just takes time for the skin to acclimate and everyone is different. Maybe try it every 2-3 weeks at first and see how you do.
And always wear sunscreen daily when you&#039;re peeling. I hope that helps!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, I just discovered your YT channel a month ago and started my at home chemical peels with an 8% glycolic acid peel (Paula’s Choice which also includes other acids for a total 25% AHA peel). How often do you recommend using this type of peel? Instructions say once a week but not sure if this is overdoing it. And how often do you use the stronger (20%) glycolic acid peels?]]></description>

Thanks so much for the comment, Heidi! I love mandelic acid. I hope it goes well using glycolic acid - it&#039;s my absolute favorite type of peel. Personally I&#039;d wait at least 5-7 days after a glycolic peel before microneedling. But, it really depends on how your skin is responding (ie: how sensitive your skin is after that peel). If your skin is still feeling sensitive, it might be best to wait even longer.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is so cool! I started with mandelic acid 22% peels from platinum (using your code, thank you for 20% off ) and once I finish the series I&#039;ll go glycolic 30%. How long after glycolic 30% do you recommend to do microneedling?]]></description>

Hey Martin - thanks so much for the comment. I will share more about this in upcoming videos as I want to get more into detail about it. So why are you interested in moving from the UK to here? Sorry if I&#039;m wrong, but to me, it looks pretty rough in the UK now. Things are changing so quickly. Sometimes a big move is just what someone needs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Holly, have been watching your videos for a while - mostly for the health related content as it resonates with my experiences in many ways. Saw your video about moving to Japan as I was thinking about moving from UK to US. Can certainly related to feeling &quot;stuck&quot;, though maybe for different reasons, nevertheless I also feel like I need to move on. Would love to see a video about what is it in US that does not work for you anymore or what in Japan you think would be better etc. I guess what I am trying to say, looking at US as a new start or a better opportunity for myself, I wonder why people are leaving. I guess we all think the grass is greener on the other side, but it would be great to hear your thoughts. 
All the best!
