Skin Care Blogs What to Expect Before During and After a Chemical Peel What to Expect Before During and After a Chemical Peel BY Jessica Gomes August 3 2017 Well try just about anything to turn back the time on the too many days spent in the sunshine or rid our faces of acne scars Although the fountain of youth may be fictitious the chemical peel is the real deal The words chemical and peel may sound scary at first but this FDAapproved treatment literally gives you a fresh face of skinand its been growing in popularity with approximately 136 million treatments received in 2016 The chemical peel is the process of applying a chemical solution to the skin to smooth out its texture It can be used to treat many skin issues like acne fine lines wrinkles and hyperpigmentation A form of chemical exfoliation a peel allows your skin to shed off a layer making room for new healthier skin Peels are great for everyone to do says boardcertified dermatologist Dr Ashley Magovern They slough off tired dull skin cells and stimulate fresh healthy skin allowing for accelerated cell turnover and the stimulation of collagenmaking cells To learn how to prepare yourself for a chemical peel properly and what to expect during and after the procedure we sought advice from both Dr Magovern and esteemed clinical aesthetician Jennifer Gerace How to Prepare for a Chemical Peel 1 Choose the Right Type of Peel for Your Skin Before making the decision to get a chemical peel Gerace recommends getting the opinions from at least three providers first noting that providers should take into consideration your age the color of your skin and overall skin condition Dont be fooled by the onesizefitsall peel as the peels intention should be very specific to the patients needs she says 2 Stop Using AtHome Exfoliants To prepare the skin for the treatment be sure to stop the use of all athome exfoliants in the days leading up to your appointment Exfoliants like retinol and salicylic acid hide in many of our beauty products If you continue to use them before your appointment it can cause trauma to the skin which may result in more damage If you have sensitive skin it is recommended to stop using physical exfoliators like face scrubs and devices such as the Clarisonic 3 Keep Your Skin Hydrated Dr Magovern stresses the importance of keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized before your appointment Try to keep your skin as hydrated as possible she says also noting that you may want to stop any creams or serums that may be causing dryness for two to three days 4 Evaluate Your Prescriptions Also take into consideration any antiacne or antiaging prescriptions you are using as these might affect the way your skin reacts to a chemical peel If you need help determining if your products are okay to use prior to your chemical peel talk to your dermatologist or esthetician who will be able to assist you 5 Dont Plan a Peel Close to a Big Event The last step in preparation is to be sure to plan accordingly If you are getting a chemical peel before a special event make sure youve budgeted plenty of time for your skin to heal so you look picture perfect on your big day What to Expect During Your Appointment During a chemical peel the skin will begin its intense peeling process says Gerace You will have the option to choose which peel you want though its wise to choose an intensity based on your professionals opinion Chemical peels vary from very light to medium depth To begin your skin care professional will ask you to lie face up to establish a smooth surface for application The entire process usually takes under an hour to complete and your skin care professional will typically stay in the room to ensure there are no adverse reactions as it dries Once the peel is applied and begins drying you may feel a burning or tingling sensation due to its high acidic chemical composition The amount of burning or tingling will vary based on the type of chemical peel you are receiving and will differ case to case eg you might be more sensitive than another person getting the same peel However Dr Magovern notes that even those with sensitive skin can find a suitable chemical peel Contrary to popular opinion she says peels dont have to sting or burn or cause a lot of redness and inflammation to work What to Expect After a Chemical Peel Your Skin Will Peel for 310 Days According to Gerace the type and depth of the solution will dictate how long the skin will peel The traditional mediumdepth chemical peels take three to five days for the skin to peel off before the new pink skin underneath arises she explains while deeper peels that contain phenol can take seven to ten days to recuperate from Dr Magovern notes that the peeling should start on or around the third day after a peel not immediately after Treat Your Skin With Care Dr Magovern recommends the use of a gentle cleanser and a hydrating serum or gel like one that contains hyaluronic acid or ceramides to help soothe the skin in the days following a chemical peel You may also want to treat the new skin right away with a combination of stem cell and light therapy Gerace explains This addresses the health of the new skin cells at a cellular level and is your opportunity to reset your skin and start fresh she says Integrating potent aftercare solutions such as colloidal silver Botaniceutical and marine algae extracts will help hydrate stabilize Dont Neglect SPF The chemical peel is used to accelerate the exfoliation of dead skin cells to reveal fresh new skin The biggest risk during this process is sun exposure and Gerace highly recommends using a high broadspectrum SPF to keep the skin safe during the delicate time following the procedure The skin is thinner after a peel and very susceptible to UV damage she says It is essential to use a physical block like makeup foundation along with your SPF for at least two months after receiving a chemical peel Avoid Overheating the Skin Gerace also explains the importance of keeping the skin cool You shouldnt let hot water touch your face as any inflammation can spike postinflammatory hyperpigmentation PIH She urges you not to take hot showers and keep your water at room temperature or colder If you arent ready to take the plunge and go for an inoffice chemicalpeel treatment we recommend trying an athome

What life was like for the Mormon pioneers after entering the Salt Lake Valley By Ben Tullis For the Deseret News Published July 23 2014 500 am Updated July 24 2014 814 pm Want to email this article or 15 Comments 1 of 11 View 11 Items Deseret News archives This Is the Place Monument scene depicting the arrival and celebratory hosannas of Orson Pratt and Erastus Snow On June 28 1847 Brigham Young met with Jim Bridger famed frontiersman and owner of Fort Bridger The two men discussed the merits of settling the Salt Lake Valley Bridger expressed his opinion that growing grain would be difficult in the area making it unsuitable to sustain a large population President Young responded according to LDS Church News Wait a little and we will show you Less than a month later President Young sick with tick fever looked down at the Salt Lake Valley from Emigration Canyon on July 24 Wilford Woodruff later wrote While gazing upon the scene before us he Brigham Young was enwrapped in vision for several minutes He had seen the valley before in vision and upon this occasion he saw the future glory of Zion and Israel as they would be planted in the valleys of these mountains When the vision had passed he said It is enough This is the right place Drive on according to the Gospel Doctrine manual Church History in the Fulness of Times Three days prior Orson Pratt a member of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and Erastus Snow a future apostle had proceeded down Emigration Canyon and ascended a hill near the entrance of the valley Pratt recorded We beheld such an extensive scenery open before us that we could not refrain from a shout of joy which almost involuntarily escaped from our lips the moment this glad and lovely scenery was within our view Elder Pratts words are recorded on the This Is the Place Heritage Park monument Within 10 years Great Salt Lake City as it would be known until 1868 was filled with homes shops and places of worship that the people built to establish a city where they could find peace but where hardship found them nonetheless One of the myths that has prevailed through the years is that the Salt Lake Valley was an arid barely habitable desert While the land wasnt an ideal place to settle it wasnt a wild desert according to Steve Olsen senior curator at the LDS Church History Library Some of the early pioneers were very impressed by how luxuriant it was how well watered it was how much grass was growing here Olsen said Thats not to say they didnt have to dam up the creeks and create networks for irrigation but it wasnt the kind of arid landscape that we often think about The valley in many ways was pretty much the same as today as far as the topography and the geology and the way the land form goes said Brian Westover trades coordinator at This Is the Place Heritage Park The big difference of course is the features that weve added since we got down in the valley One thing for example is water A lot of people dont realize this but every one of these canyons that surrounds the valley from City Creek Millcreek Red Butte Emigration all the way down had a stream running down it that went into The Saints did not have much time to take in the scenery however There was a lot of work to do to establish Great Salt Lake City They were starting from scratch Olsen said If they were going to establish a community here they had to establish it from the ground up Hardly any of these people had any experience in doing that So they had to build roads and they had to build irrigation systems and transportation systems and communication systems and they had to build social institutions and they had to build all these elements with relatively few resources and with relatively little background experience The first priority after the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints arrived in the valley was planting crops They were very concerned about food Westover said Back in pioneer days there was a saying If you want to have a harvest for winter corn should be knee high by the Fourth of July And of course arriving on the 24th and corn not even in the ground yet they were very concerned about getting food crops into the fall and winter As it was still summer when the pioneers arrived in the valley building homes was not as much of a concern according to Westover One of the first buildings built was a bowery just basically a shade structure Westover said And they used it for school for church for public and civic meetings For the most part the pioneers just stayed in their tents in the beginning or the wagon boxes until they could start building the initial homes and dugouts Initially there was a fort at Pioneer Park now located at 300 South and 300 West and it had a bunch of small cabins in it The Mormon pioneers were between two American Indian tribes and it was not clear at first how they would react to the presence of the Saints The whole area had been occupied by a number of different Indian tribes the Shoshones to the north and the Utes to the south and the Salt Lake Valley was kind of a nomans land said Olsen It was a kind of shared space that neither claimed for their own So the Mormons began settling here and it was somewhat fortuitous in that regard because it wasnt challenging either of the Native American settlement areas Thats one of the reasons why there was relative peace to begin with By July 28 President Young designated the lot where the temple would stand That spot would be the center point of the city with every structure road and private property laid out evenly perfectly square and radiating from that point President Young and other leaders of the LDS Church remained in the Salt Lake Valley a little less than a month before heading back East on Aug 16 to prepare their families to come to the valley the next year After President Young left Charles C Rich and John Young organized a municipal high council that directed the building of 450 log cabins and a fence to control the livestock They also supervised the construction of an adobe wall around the fort as well as a number of roads and bridges according to Church History in the Fulness of Times The Saints persevered through provision shortages and damaged crops their first year in the valley President Young returned in September 1848 and by the end of the year almost 3000 Saints had arrived in the valley President Young wrote to those still on the trail that the Saints had found a haven of rest a place for our souls a place where we may dwell in safety according to Church History in the Fulness of Times By 1850 houses and buildings had been constructed and a public works had been established They created what we would call public utilities that is people who were responsible for damming the water and creating irrigation systems that would water the gardens and the orchards and the farms Olsen said They would soon create utilities for logging lumber so the access to lumber wasnt just on a casebycase basis or was favored to the rich Someone would have a use right to control and have access to these resources but for the purpose of building up the community and not for the sake of becoming personally enriched Two of the more important buildings for the Saints were constructed in the 1850s The Great Salt Lake Social Hall built in 1853 was a place where the Saints gathered for concerts and dances The Deseret Dramatic Association was organized in 1853 and held many plays in the building The Social Hall was also where the territorial legislature met for a few sessions according to information on a marker at This Is the Place Heritage Park where a replica of the Social Hall can be found Remnants of the original foundation can be seen at the Social Hall Heritage Museum at 51 S State Stin Salt Lake City The second building was the Deseret News building constructed in 1850 The publication allowed LDS Church leaders to communicate with Saints who had settled other parts of Utah and the surrounding states Very soon after the Saints were established here they created the Deseret News and that was as important as any other network or system or institution that was established here Olsen said If youre building the kingdom of God and the members of the kingdom of God are spread out in a variety of different places you have to have ways of keeping in touch with everybody And the newspaper was in part for that purpose It was as a communications network for the kingdom of God The pioneers were isolated here in the community so there were two functions of the newspaper said Bob Folkman a printer at the replicated Deseret News building at This Is the Place Heritage Park and president of the Sons of Utah Pioneers The first was local communications between the leaders whether the government leaders or the church leaders which were initially the same And the other is just that there was no other reliable source of news in the community There was some need to have a connection to what was going on in the world other than just word While other pioneers traveled and settled areas in California and Oregon the LDS pioneers were different in that their motivation was building the kingdom of God on the earth When youre with people youre committed to by covenant you cant discount the value of religion bringing this thing together Olsen said So there was just this amazing commitment they had to one another even though often they didnt share the same language or the same background But they did share the same religion so that was the glue that held them together and encouraged them to collaborate and share and sacrifice and do all those things that actually enabled them to succeed here where other people would not have In only 10 years the pioneers through hard work and determination had built a growing city with homes shops churches farms and schools and an area where they thought the Saints could live free from persecution and interference But in May 1857 US President James Buchanan after believing reports from antiMormon politicians ordered federal troops to march to Great Salt Lake City to put down a supposed Mormon insurrection After months of delay the troops marched through Great Salt Lake City on June 26 1858 One of the soldiers marching with the troops John Rozsa who later joined the LDS Church wrote The city lies in a very nice place at the foot of a hill and is quite big and is built in good style The houses are built of dobies and there was nice gardens around them but nevertheless they look just like a dead city On arriving in the city we found only a few men The houses were locked and the windows nailed up and all the people had fled south The Saints had abandoned their city in case of problems with the soldiers The few men left in the city when the troops marched through held torches and were prepared to burn the entire city to the ground if the troops did not abide by an agreement not to disturb the property The troops did abide by their agreement and the Saints were able to return to the city

The Repentance of God Twice the Bible says that God repented for something he had done in the past Genesis 667 and 1 Samuel 1511 and at least eleven times it says he repented or would repent of something he was about to do in the future Exodus 321214 2 Samuel 2416 1 Chronicles 2115 Psalm 10645 Jeremiah 428 188 263 13 19 4210 Joel 21314 Amos 73 6 Jonah 3910 42 Nevertheless the Bible also says that God will not repent For example Psalm 1104 says The Lord has sworn he will not repent You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek And Ezekiel 2414 says I the Lord have spoken it shall come to pass I will do it I will not go back I will not spare I will not repent according to your ways and your doings I will judge you says the Lord God See Jeremiah 42728 But even more important than these are the texts that say God would be like a man if he repented In other words Gods freedom from a need to repent is based on his deity Being God means that he can not repent Numbers 2319 God is not a man that he should lie or a son of man that he should repent 1 Samuel 1529 The Glory of Israel will not lie or repent for he is not a man that he should repent This last text comes in the very same story where it says God repented that he had made Saul king 1 Samuel 1511 35 So we must not think that these two views come from different authors of the Old Testament who disagree with each other Rather we should probably say that there is a sense in which God does repent and there is a sense in which he does not First Samuel 1529 and Numbers 2319 are intended to keep us from seeing the repentance of God in a way that would put him in the limited category of a man Gods repentance is not like mans I take that to mean that God is not taken off guard by unexpected turns of events like we are He knows all the future Behold the former things have come to pass and new things I now declare before they spring forth I tell you of them Isaiah 429 Nor does God ever sin So his repentance is not owing to lack of foresight nor to folly Rather the repentance of God is his expression of a different attitude and action about something past or futurenot because events have taken him off guard but because events make the expression of a different attitude more fitting now than it would have been earlier Gods mind changes not because it responds to unforeseen circumstances but because he has ordained that his mind accord with the way he himself orders the changing events of the world Resting in the reliability of God Pastor John John Piper JohnPiper is founder and teacher of desiringGodorg and chancellor of Bethlehem College Seminary For 33 years he served as pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church Minneapolis Minnesota He is author of more than 50 books including Desiring God Meditations of a Christian Hedonist and most recently Expository Exultation Christian Preaching as Worship
