Rinse and pat completely dry before proceeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 2 – Papaya \u0026amp; CBD Enzyme Microfoliant\u003c\/b\u003e Emulsify the microfoliant with water to form a soft paste. For sensitive skin, add extra water for additional slip – or blend a pea-sized amount of SOS Healing Gel Mask into the paste to buffer the enzyme activity. Massage gently for 1-2 minutes, focusing on any flaky or congested areas to lift non-living keratin and ensure more even peel penetration. Mild tingling is normal. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhy this step matters: the enzyme peel dissolves surface buildup and dryness so the lactic acid can absorb evenly – without the need for mechanical scrubbing. The SOS Healing Gel Mask, when used alongside, feeds the skin with nutrients and hydration, calming and strengthening it so the subsequent peel feels controlled and comfortable.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 3 – SOS Healing Gel Mask Pre-Soak\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e(optional but recommended for reactive skin)\u003c\/i\u003e Apply a light layer of SOS Healing Gel Mask and leave for 2–3 minutes to infuse calming humectants and take the edge off for sensitive or reactive skin types. Remove fully and pat completely dry – any residual product left on the skin can alter peel penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 4 – Pre-Peel Degrease\u003c\/b\u003e Wipe the skin with a pre-peel degreaser or isopropyl alcohol, focusing on combination or oily zones. This removes residual oils and ensures uniform penetration. Avoid mucous membranes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 5 – Protect Delicate Areas\u003c\/b\u003e Apply a thin film of petroleum jelly to the commissures of the lips, corners of the nose, nasolabial folds if delicate, and just below the orbital rim. Protect any open blemishes or dry cracks as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 6 – Peel Application\u003c\/b\u003e Dispense a small amount of AūxaLacto Pro 30 into a medicine cup. Apply using cotton-tipped swabs for precision, or a fan brush and gauze for larger areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe number of coats is never fixed – it is always determined by the skin's individual response. Apply a thin, even first coat and monitor closely. The clinical endpoint with lactic acid is a progressive, uniform pink erythema accompanied by a client-reported warmth or tingling sensation of 3–5 out of 10. This is not a TCA or salicylic peel – do not chase frosting or white blanching, as true frosting is not an expected outcome with AHA peels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf the skin has not reached the desired response and the client remains comfortable, additional coats may be applied. Use a low-tension fan between coats to maintain comfort and control. Continue layering only until you are satisfied with the skin's response. Over-application increases the risk of post-peel irritation and should always be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnder no circumstances should the peel remain on the skin for longer than 8 minutes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eStop and neutralise immediately if you observe hot spots, grey or white patches that do not wipe away, excessive burning, oedema, or periorbital tearing.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCheck in with the client every 30-60 seconds throughout application – sensation feedback is as important as visual observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStep 7 – Neutralise, Soothe \u0026amp; Protect\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeutralise:\u003c\/i\u003e Rinse the peel thoroughly with water.
