Hello Interloper!

Are there any precautions you should take after a chemical peel?
You may experience a bit of redness, flaking, and/or minor irritation after a chemical peel.
It’s important to avoid the sun during recovery, as the skin becomes more sensitive.
If you do have to spend time outside, apply a broad-spectrum sunblock liberally. I recommend that you should use this every day, summer and winter.
Sun exposure can negate the effectiveness of your treatment and cause new issues such as hyperpigmentation.
Be extra gentle with your skin after a peel, and avoid skincare products that contain alcohol or strong chemicals.
