What you need to know after you get the glow...
-
Be gentle with your fresh new skin!
-
Avoid hot water, steam until fully healed and sun exposure 1 week prior/post peel.
-
Avoid any harsh products such as retinol, aha's or exfoliators until skin is completely healed. You can use the vital c hydrating enzyme mask around day 3-5 to promote accelerated healing. (depending on the peel depth)
-
If your skin does start to peel/flake off, do not peel off the skin prematurely. It may cause scarring and hyper-pigmentation. Let it be! You can trim hanging skin with small scissors, carefully.
-
Keep the skin hydrated and protected.
-
Remember it took time to cause the damage... it will take time to rejuvenate. Be realistic with your results.
-
Using professional skincare 2 weeks prior to any skin resurfacing treatment can assist in boosting your results as well as maintaining at home.
