At Beauty Loft Spa in Atlanta, we offer professional chemical peels to help rejuvenate your skin, reduce fine lines, and improve texture. To ensure optimal results and protect your skin post-treatment, following proper aftercare is essential. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you care for your skin after a chemical peel.

Do’s After a Chemical Peel

1. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Hydration supports the healing process and helps maintain your post-peel glow.

2. Moisturize Often

Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe your skin and maintain moisture. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides.

3. Apply Sunscreen Daily

Your skin is more sensitive to the sun after a chemical peel, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning. Reapply every two hours if outdoors.

4. Cleanse Gently

Use a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser to clean your face. Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing to avoid irritation.

5. Let Your Skin Peel Naturally

Peeling is a normal part of the process. Allow the dead skin to shed naturally without picking, pulling, or scrubbing.

6. Schedule Follow-Up Treatments

For best results, consider scheduling additional treatments as recommended by your esthetician at Beauty Loft Spa.

Don’ts After a Chemical Peel

1. Don’t Pick or Peel Skin

Resist the urge to pick or peel flaking skin, as this can cause scarring and delay the healing process.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure

Stay out of direct sunlight for at least a week after your peel. If you must go outside, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for extra protection.

3. Skip Harsh Skincare Products

Avoid using exfoliants, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and products containing alcohol for at least a week after your peel. These can irritate your sensitive skin.

4. Don’t Exercise Strenuously

Avoid intense workouts for 48 hours post-treatment to prevent excessive sweating, which can irritate your skin.

5. Avoid Hot Water and Steam

Skip hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for a few days. Lukewarm water is best for cleansing your face during this time.

6. Don’t Apply Makeup Immediately

Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to breathe and heal.

What to Expect After a Chemical Peel

• Day 1-3: Your skin may appear red or feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn.
• Day 3-7: You may experience visible peeling or flaking as your skin sheds dead cells.
• Day 7+: Your skin should start looking smoother, brighter, and more even-toned.
