I've done about 15 peels so far and have burned myself about 4 of those times, maybe 5.

I need to know how to wash it off so it won't leave any nasty scabs or anything, seriously.

I usually apply peel with cotton ball, wait my time, then splash water on my face for 10 seconds (cold) and then apply the baking soda paste and rub it in for 5 seconds and let it sit 1 min. And do that all over again in the shower. But I still burn myself, what's going on here?

I don't get how you've managed to do it so many times... you sure you're not leaving it on too long? I always make sure I have the baking soda paste in my hands ready to put straight on when the times up (I use the stopwatch on my phone) to make sure I don't go over the time I want to at all. The instructions I got with my acid also said that you should neutralise it after the time, rinse the baking soda off with water, then wait another minute and apply the baking soda again so I do that too.

Or are you doing them too often or using something else in your regime that's making your skin more sensitive...?

Actually I have noticed that I've burned myself in the past 2 months, and have had Differin, wow, thanks. Tomorrow I'm doing a 40% for 3 mins and will start washing it off at 2m 30s so that by 3 mins i'll be good to go.
