The Do’s and Don’ts of Chemical Peel Recovery

After a chemical peel, following the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional is essential. Depending on the type of peel you receive, you may have some peeling and redness for a few days. It is important, if you do have peeling, to avoid picking or scratching at the skin during this time. You should also avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and saunas for at least a week. Once the peeling has stopped, you can resume your normal skincare routine. Makeup can be applied once the skin has healed, typically taking 3-7 days.
