TCA
Underneath the clinical description lies the remarkable impact of Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, an essential part of my skincare journey. These peels, a subset of chemical peels, are a transformative indulgence for the skin, delicately administered to buff away the surface and rid the skin of lifeless cells. The artistry of TCA peels lies in their ability to resurface and rejuvenate, working like a secret elixir, revealing a fresher, more vibrant complexion. It’s not just a cosmetic procedure—it’s a revelation, a chance for skin renewal and revitalization.
AT HOME TCA PEEL
- TCA PEEL 25% TCA Peel, Because of the intensity of this 1.5 pH peel, I recommend it only for experienced users. Do not start out with a 25% TCA Peel! There are many peels to start out with- LINK: Makeup Artist’s Choice. Code: Kaos20
- WHAT DOES IT DO: A 25% TCA peel effectively reduces lines, acne, acne scarring, sun damage, blackheads, uneven skin tone, uneven skin texture, rosacea, millia and age spots.
- HOW I USE IT: The 25% TCA Peel is a medium to deep chemical peel, the depth of which is controlled by the amount of time you leave it on your skin. It is applied in repeated thin layers until frosting occurs.
- AFTER PEEL: After you have applied the peel, your skin may be red. This is normal, and you may wear makeup to tone the redness down. You do not want to trap the heat until your face has cooled down. About two days after you’ve performed this peel, your skin will start to dry out and look leathery, brownish, and aged. Your skin is preparing to shed, and that will occur over the next 3-5 days for most people.
- You must not pick at the skin! In order to avoid scarring and complications, your skin must come off when it is ready.
- The use of sunscreen is essential to obtaining the results you are looking for.
OTHER INFORMATION: This peel suits most skin types. Use additional caution with sensitive skin & skin types above a “three” on the Fitzpatrick Scale. A spot test is always recommended, no matter your skin tone.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TCA strength IS BEST?
Applying TCA peels isn’t just a task confined to medical professionals; however, it is not in everyone’s wheelhouse to do one at home. TCA extends beyond aesthetics, transcending to addressing many skin concerns: from diminishing blemishes and softening acne scars to promoting even skin tone and aiding in controlling acne.
These peels vary in strength, from medium to high concentrations, tailored to suit different needs. While medium-depth TCA peels work on the surface and a fraction of the underlying layer, the deeper formulas go beyond, reaching the underlying skin for a more profound effect when done correctly- However I personally would not do anything above a 25% TCA Peel, this is a great percentage to give you a very effective peel. And NEVER start out with a 25% TCA PEEL. I have been doing TCA peels for 5 years+ and I have learned a lot, I hope to impart some of my learning on to you. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments and join The Natural Kaos App we have #peelsweek each year in November (I kick it off and The Skin Squad takes over for the rest of the week) and do many different peels. We also have many members that also do peels all year long- you will find hundreds of videos.

WHICH PEEL IS BEST?
Deciphering the most suitable peel for an individual’s unique skin needs may vary. Safety, effectiveness, procedure insights, potential risks, and side effects, the expected results, and the subsequent recovery—all of these factors create the best experience of a TCA peel. It’s more than just a procedure; it can transform your skin. I know Peels have played a big role in my overall skin health.
DO NOT USE A FAN BRUSH TO APPLY, USE GUAZE DIPPED AND SQUEEZED OUT!
Taking measures to avoid more severe consequences involves following instructions diligently, refraining from picking or scratching treated skin, using sunscreen, steering clear of tanning beds, and allowing the skin to heal before applying makeup. The results following a TCA peel are not as long-lasting because of life (sun exposure, hormones etc.), so peels often necessitate multiple sessions for the desired outcome. With TCA peels, expect a recovery period of about 7-10 days, requiring specific preparation which might include a pre-peel routine for some peels aimed at optimizing the peel’s effectiveness. This is why I use and love Makeup Artists Choice for my peels and everyone in the App. Here are other Blog Posts for TCA Peels.

GRAPE SEED OIL I USE FOR MY HAIR
DAY 2 SKIN CHECK… It’s “Peel Week” in the Natural Kaos App.
I love our skin-loving community! Day 2 started with a light foaming cleanse. Because it’s a greasy week, I also apply grape seed oil to my hair daily. After cleansing, I applied a layer of Aquaphor. Following this, I added on SPF. Today I used the soleil_toujours 50 mineral sunscreen with a golden tint. Once our skin begins to break, a tinted sunscreen will look weird as I personally know:) See you on the next TCA peel check in and let me know your questions.

OTHER PEELS
Different peels exist beyond TCA, such as BHAs (like salicylic acid), AHAs (glycolic, lactic, or mandelic acid). Deciding on the ideal peel depends on individual needs and goals & choosing the right peel tailored to specific skin requirements and desired outcomes.

When it comes to TCA peels, like any chemical peel, potential side effects exist—things to consider in the journey to rejuvenated skin. It’s essential to follow all the instructions – remember, this is your face! Please reduce the chances of any side effects and Patch Test! xo- Kim

I realize that some procedures look shocking…Mesotherapy requires many, many pricks.
After a session, I look crazy, or people think I enjoy pain.
THIS IS FALSE
During child birth I needed an epidural with all four deliveries!
I don’t have a high pain tolerance; however, over the years, I’ve developed stamina for the pain.
I enjoy that in our app; we commiserate about all of these aspects of doing professional skincare at home.
I’ve had mesotherapy done professionally, and it’s brutal in professional hands, too. It’s simply the nature of this procedure. I’ve found I can stomach the pain easier if I’m in charge of it.
While I was in Korea, I kept telling my injector that I didn’t want anymore and that whatever was placed was enough for me.
I tried to bow out early, but she insisted I needed to keep going 😂🙈.

The point I want to offer is that not all at-home beauty treatments are as painful as mesotherapy. The major reason Mesotherapy is painful is that you have large areas of skin to cover. You can use numbing cream to take a bit of the bite off, but even 12% topical lido is not going to fully numb you. Some pokes are easy, and others painful.
Mid-face and lip areas are by far my most sensitive regions, and each time I make it through, I feel like a superhero 🦸♀️😅.
I’m motivated by the convenience of performing these procedures at home. Although I don’t look forward to the pain of mesotherapy, I’m always encouraged by the benefits these products have for my skin.
I love the ability and freedom to choose for myself, and I appreciate it when others feel empowered as well.
I’ve never infered that my life choices are suitable for everyone; only that options exist, and that’s why I share.

How I prepare to do Mesotherapy Injections?
I’m using Mayster PLLA. Today is my second round with this quasi Sculptra dupe. The reason I say “quasi” is because it has a lower molecular weight so the particles are not nearly as large as the PLLA molecules in Sculptra.
I’m using this product inside the Natural Kaos App.
You can find it on Apple and Android

Last week, I shared a one-year-out Sculptra video, a result of the two sessions I had the privilege of receiving from the esteemed Dr Rice @estheticscenter in 2023.
Comment “Sculptra” for the full video link sent to your DM 📥 + Last minute Mother’s Day gift ideas.
I received a few comments stating:
1️⃣ “Sculptra can’t be placed beneath the eyes!”
2️⃣ “If you get Sculptra, you are no longer a candidate for a future facelift!”
Both of these statements are false, but I understand why some people have this perspective.
1️⃣ Most people go to med spas where RNs inject. RN injectors are fabulous and typically do more liquid facelift protocols than even the surgeon. However, at some locations, you may find they do not offer certain placements, like the tear trough. This is their decision based on comfort level.
I elected to pay more to have Dr Rice place my Sculptra because I knew he was the best person for this situation.
2️⃣ Offices like @estheticscenter, which profit from facelifts, don’t want to create a population of clientele that later would not be candidates for a facelift.
I truly dislike it when people attempt to fearmonger about products and procedures. It’s always better to look at the larger picture.
If Sculptra were to hinder a facial plastic surgeon from performing facelifts, it would never be in the doctor’s best interest to offer Sculptra. Dr Rice, for instance, is dedicated to serving his patients and providing them with a range of options, ensuring their best interests are always prioritized.
I hope this continues the conservation about Sculptra and gives more insight on why you may go to a med spa and they may not offer Sculptra placement under the eyes.

Happy Sunday…
Warm spring finally arrived and soon it will be in the 90’s.
This week also brought me a cold 🤧
It began with Pink Eye and by Friday I lost my voice.
I woke up on Saturday with a deep cough.
I’ve been in bed this weekend trying to recover so next weeks schedule isn’t compromised.
I’m still planing to do my next session of Mayster PLLA on Monday 5/6, inside the natural Kaos app.
Hopefully my voice can recover more so you can actually hear what I’m saying 😂.
If you know me, you know I like to talk 🗣️🎙️and losing my voice is certainly a difficult by product of this seasonal cold.
If you’ve experienced this years cold let me know if thee is another phase to this that I’ve yet to encounter?
For my app members please know I will rally to make Mondays Live demo. In the end if I still lack a voice I’ll have to cancel only because it would be super annoying to listen to me speak.
Stay tuned:)
PS. I filmed this on Thursday before this cold entered my 🫁.
It was also my third day injecting MELANOTAN 2 and laying out to trigger the melanin in my skin.

It’s not easy having your world unexpectedly turned upside down. Challenges happen in life that we are not prepared for no matter if we are planners.
UNFORTUNATELY, Not everything is in our control!
As a “semi-control freak” (don’t judge me) life continues to teach me that I never know what’s around the corner.
And It’s difficult to be prepared for the next curve ball life throws.
As I go thru another tragic experience (one I’m not sharing yet) it can feel debilitating.
Like what the F***!!! I’m NOT equipped for this obstacle.
The only truth I know, is that I can only control myself. I feel fortunate that I developed my little work out plan becoming accustomed to it pre devastation.
My routine is helping me thru this difficult time and I’m grateful to have it as a constant when other aspects of my life feel wild and unknown.
PSA: Get yourself a routine before your next curve ball!
