🦋Aftercare for Peels🦋

Chemical Peels are great, and you all know why I think that! The aftercare is just as important as the peel itself. If we don’t take care of our skin after the peel, we won’t see as good of results. Also having the proper home care products will help the skin recover quickly and efficiently!

🔥AVOID HEAT! Heat can irritate the skin and cause discomfort. When showering or washing your face just be cognizant of the water temperature. It can trigger more redness, dryness, and discomfort.

💧SWEATING is not our friend. Avoid hard workouts, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, hot yoga etc for at least 24hrs. Your new fresh skin doesn’t need to have that warm moist environment for bacteria to grow on it! Again, sweating = heat and that’s not gonna be so fabulous for our skin.

☀️SPF ALWAYS! This is the most important after a peel! Hyperpigmentation can occur if your not careful with your sun exposure. Going for a walk or out picking weeds? That’s fine, just make sure you have SPF and a hat on! Protect your skin as much as possible to prevent any damage. I were not vampires, and cannot avoid the sun 100% so SPF is always our best friend!

🧪 We love vitamin C, retinols, AHA’s and BHA’s, but we need to put them on pause for a little after our peel. Our cell turnover just went wild, so we don’t need more exfoliation (waxing, shaving, or microdermabrasion). Pay attention to what is in your products at home, so you don’t irritate your skin! Wait a couple days for your vitamin C and retinol, and about a week for your AHA’s and BHA’s.
