Skin care is a vital part of the lives of anyone who has skin.
We have all suffered from one skin problem or the other.
Thanks to social media, it’s much easier to share new and traditional skin care tips and regimens.
One of such treatments is the chemical peel.
The old skin peels off in an almost spooky way, but the results can be satisfying.
While chemical peels may be the answer to your skin-related prayers, you should still approach them with caution.
Here are several things you should do to ensure your skin is in tip-top shape before your chemical peel.
Chemical peels expose your new skin to harsh environmental elements, primarily the sun’s UV rays.
Make sunscreen your new BFF, and be sure it’s at least SPF 30.
Post-treatment care
Your healing process will depend on the level of the peel you get.
Chemical peels usually come in three types: light, medium, and heavy.
Light peels use milder types and concentrations of exfoliant acids while heavy peels use more abrasive ones.
You will find out which chemical peel best suits you during your consultation with your healthcare provider.
Don’t slip up on your post-treatment routines.
You may get scarring, infections, or notice that your skin is lighter or darker than normal.
Relay all your concerns and questions to your doctor and follow their tips to the letter.
Finally, clear your schedule.
