Before the Ritual

Preparing your skin properly is essential for both safety and results. The Green Sea Peel requires the skin to be in a healthy, balanced state before treatment so the spicules can work effectively and evenly.

​

Before your Green Sea Peel:

• You must complete the Green Sea Peel Prep Ritual at least 2 weeks prior

• Follow all provided pre-care instructions exactly as directed

• Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and active products during the prep phase

• Do not use moisturizers unless specifically instructed, as this can interfere with spicule penetration and peeling

• Protect the skin from sun exposure and apply SPF daily

​

Proper preparation helps reduce irritation, ensures predictable peeling, and supports optimal corrective results. Clients who do not complete prep or follow instructions may need to reschedule their Green Sea Peel.

​

During the Ritual

The Green Sea Peel Ritual uses marine spicules—microscopic, needle-like structures—to stimulate the skin from within. As the spicules are worked into the skin, you will feel an intense prickling or sharp, point-like sensation. Many clients describe it as tiny needles or grains pressing into the skin.

​

This sensation is expected and temporary and is a key part of how the treatment activates circulation, collagen production, and cellular renewal. Sensation is closely monitored throughout the ritual, and the treatment is performed with intention and care to support both safety and results.

​

Topical numbing is not used, as sensation is necessary to trigger the skin’s regenerative response. While the treatment can feel uncomfortable, it is brief and purposeful.

​

After the Ritual

Following the Green Sea Peel, the spicules remain active in the skin for up to 72 hours, which means sensation continues beyond the appointment.

​

After treatment, you may experience:

• A sharp or prickly feeling beneath the skin for 2–3 days, especially when touching the face

• Redness, warmth, and sensitivity for the first 24–48 hours

• Tightness and dryness, followed by visible peeling or shedding beginning around days 2–3

• Peeling and flaking that typically lasts 5–7 days, depending on skin type and adherence to aftercare

​

This response is normal and part of the renewal process. As the skin sheds, new skin emerges that is smoother, clearer, and more refined.

​

Comfort, Healing & Results:

Proper preparation and strict adherence to aftercare instructions are essential for comfort, safety, and optimal results. Avoiding heat, exfoliation, picking, and unapproved products helps prevent irritation and pigmentation issues while allowing the skin to heal correctly.

Results continue to improve as the skin completes its renewal cycle, with texture refinement, pigment improvement, and collagen stimulation developing over the following weeks.

​

Is This Right for You?

The Green Sea Peel Ritual is best suited for clients who:

• Are comfortable with visible peeling and downtime

• Want corrective results rather than a relaxing facial

• Are able to follow detailed pre- and post-care instructions

​

Clients seeking minimal sensation or no downtime may be better suited for other Glow Studio rituals.
