Let Your Skin Shed on Its Terms

Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity — but the magic happens after your appointment. How you care for your skin during the next week is what leads to results.

What to Expect

• Redness or tightness for the first 1–2 days

• Dryness or increased sensitivity

• Peeling or flaking typically begins between days 2–4

• Shedding may last 3–7 days depending on peel depth

What to Avoid (First 5–7 Days)

• Picking or peeling flaking skin

• Makeup (for 24 hours post-treatment)

• Exfoliants, retinol, and actives

• Heat, sweating, workouts, saunas, hot showers

• Direct sun exposure or tanning beds

How to Care for Your Skin

• Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser

• Apply a calming, hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid)

• Use a barrier-repair moisturizer or balm regularly

• Apply SPF 30+ every morning and reapply if outside

• Pat your skin dry with clean hands — avoid rubbing

Day-by-Day Healing Timeline

Day 1–2:
Skin may feel tight, warm, or sensitive. Keep it hydrated and avoid friction.

Days 2–4:
Peeling or flaking usually begins. This is your skin renewing itself — do not pick.

Days 5–7:
Peeling slows down. You may return to actives only when skin is fully healed.

Post-Care Product Recommendations

• Gentle Cleanser

• Hydrating Serum

• Barrier Cream or Balm

• Mineral SPF 30+
