Finally realized I was using way too much acid in peels after 2 years

I had a client last week whose skin came out super irritated and red after a light peel I'd done a hundred times. Another esthetician happened to walk by and pointed out my dip time was way too long and my acid ratio was off for her skin type. Has anyone else had that moment where you thought you had a technique down but a second pair of eyes caught something obvious?

That part about your dip time being too long really got me... were you leaving it on for a specific number of seconds or just kind of going by feel? Because I've seen people get way too confident with timing and start rushing through steps without actually checking the clock.

Good point @thomas_torres but going by feel works fine once you've done it enough.

Yeah @parkerbrown, feel is everything once you've logged the hours.
