Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)

• Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser to wash your face. Avoid scrubs or exfoliating cleansers.
• Moisturisation: Apply a hydrating moisturiser to help soothe and restore the skin barrier. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or peptides.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive after a peel, so it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure. If you must go outside, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
• No Makeup: It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation. When you do resume wearing makeup, choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic products.
• Avoid Heat: Stay away from hot baths, saunas, or intense workouts that cause excessive sweating for the first few days.

Days 2-7

• Continue Moisturising: Keep applying a gentle moisturiser to help with dryness or flakiness, which may occur as the skin begins to exfoliate.
• Gentle Exfoliation: Avoid any harsh scrubs or exfoliants until your skin has completely healed.
• Avoid Active Ingredients: Steer clear of other strong skincare ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), Vitamin C, and retinoids until your skin has fully recovered, usually after a week or so.
• Hydration: Maintain hydration by drinking plenty of water. Consider using a humidifier if you live in a dry environment.
• Monitor for Side Effects: Keep an eye out for excessive redness, irritation, or blisters. If you experience severe reactions, consult a dermatologist.

Long-term Care

• Sun Protection: Continue using sunscreen daily, as your skin will be more susceptible to UV damage for some time after a peel.
• Gradual Reintroduction of Products: Once your skin has healed completely (in about a week or so), you can slowly reintroduce other products. Start with gentle, hydrating products before moving to active ingredients.
• Follow Professional Advice: If you received the peel from a skincare professional, follow any specific instructions they provided.

• Keep the Area Clean: Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh products.
• Moisturise Daily: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to the treated area to prevent dryness and support healing.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimise direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when you go outdoors. Sunscreen is crucial to protect the healing skin and prevent pigmentation issues.
• Avoid Heat: For a few days post-treatment, avoid activities that may cause excessive heat or sweating, such as saunas, hot showers, or intense exercise.
• Do Not Pick: Avoid picking or scratching at any flaking or peeling skin that may occur during the healing process, as this can lead to scarring or infection.
• Be Mindful of Makeup: Depending on your provider’s advice, you may be advised to avoid makeup for a certain period after the treatment.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing process.
• Monitor for Complications: Be vigilant for any signs of infection, excessive swelling, redness, or discomfort. If you experience concerning symptoms, contact us promptly.
