- Immediately following peel take extra precaution to guard against exposure to sun. This means 30 SPF and large brimmed hat (not a visor or baseball cap).
- First night, do not wash face at all.
- Days 2 through 6 avoid cleanser, scrubs, Clarisonic (or any other scrubbing brushes), washcloths, Retin-A, AHAs, or Benzoyl Peroxide.
- Pat skin dry/do not rub.
- DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN, as scarring and hyperpigmentation (brown spots) can occur.
- Apply over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream over treated areas to minimize redness, itching, irritation and hyperpigmentation (optional). If you have a darker skin one, this is not optional.
- It is safe to wear makeup the same day depending on the level of peel. Aggressive peels, avoid makeup for 3 days.
- Avoid strenuous exercise (i.e.: Hot Yoga) with aggressive peels, as sweat gets trapped under the skin leaving little water bubbles.
- Do not have any other facial treatments/procedures for at least one week after peel or until flaking stops.
- NOTE: Everyone will not experience peeling of their facial skin. However, this is not an indication that the peel was ineffective. If peeling does not occur please know that you are still receiving all the benefits of the peel, such as: stimulation of collagen production, improvement of skin tone and texture, and diminished fine lines and pigmentation.
