Chemical Peels

Depending on your skin's sensitivity, Skin may temporarily appear red or flushed after treatment depending on skin condition and sensitivity.
Wash your face with cool water. Warm or hot water might not feel as good as cool or cold water, which can help soothe post-peel sensations.
Side effects may include dryness, stinging, irritation, itching, redness, swelling, tightness, peeling, or scabbing.
On the second day, skin may appear darker or may begin to flake.
On the third day, peeling may begin around the nose and mouth, followed by the cheeks, forehead, jawline, and neck.
Moisturise and hydrate. Since peels can temporarily compromise your skin's protective barrier, it's important to reinforce that barrier with a medium-to-thick moisturiser. Also, drink more water to help avoid dehydration, which could make your skin feel tight.
For the duration of the peeling process, the Pro Power Peel Post Procedure Kit is recommended to care for skin after treatment.
Apply sunscreen with SPF30 or more. Your skin is more delicate after a peel, so avoid direct sun exposure, which can lead to even more visible signs of skin ageing. If you must be exposed, use a Broad Spectrum physical sunscreen.
Avoid strenuous workouts, dry saunas and steam rooms. Increased blood circulation to the face can intensify warming, tingling, itching, redness or other uncomfortable side effects on freshly peeled skin. Skip such activities on the day you use a peel.
Don't over-exfoliate. Peels are maximum-strength exfoliants, so you don't need to use a separate exfoliant (like a scrub, brush or exfoliating cleanser) within 3-4 days of your peel. Over-exfoliating can lead to more redness or sensitivity, so wait until your skin feels up to it.
Once your skin feels “back to normal” after a peel, it's generally considered OK to resume your normal skin care regimen
