I am a licensed aesthetician certified in Linder Health and PCA Skin peels at GlowXGiGi Skin & Beauty Studio in Dallas. I’m excited to share crucial aftercare tips for your chemical peel treatment. Proper post-peel care is essential for achieving optimal results and maintaining healthy, radiant skin.

The First 24 Hours

The initial 24 hours post-treatment are vital for your skin’s recovery:

• Keep your skin completely dry for at least 24 hours post-treatment
• Avoid touching or scratching your face
• Stay away from excessive heat, sweating, and sun exposure
  • This includes steamy hot showers, saunas, and exercise

The first 24 hours after a chemical peel are crucial. They set the stage for proper healing and optimal results.

Gentle Cleansing and Hydration

After the initial 24 hour recovery period (days 2-5):

• Use your GlowXGiGi Skin & Beauty Studio recommended skincare (this is non-negotiable). You will receive specific skincare recommendations for flawless healing. It is recommended to start pre-treatment 7 days prior to the chemical peel. All products should be applied to face, neck, and décolleté,
• Double cleanse with Gentle Cleanser morning and evening
• Spray Skin Recovery Mist onto face post cleanse
• Apply CBD Soothing Serum with Micro-Silver
• Apply Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera
• Avoid using active ingredients like retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids for at least 5-7 days before and after peel.

Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable

Protecting your skin from UV damage is crucial:

• Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily
• Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade when possible

A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology highlights important findings. Consistent use of sunscreen post-peel can reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by up to 50%.

Managing Peeling and Flaking

It’s normal for your skin to peel or flake after a chemical peel (depending on peel depth, expect skin to peel from 2-10 days):

• Do not pick or forcefully remove peeling skin
• Gently pat your face dry after cleansing
• Follow your recommended aftercare as directed

Long-Term Care

a consistent skincare regimen is crucial to maintain your results and skin health:

• Schedule follow-up treatments as recommended by your aesthetician (peel treatments are scheduled bi-weekly or every 4-12 weeks depending on intensity)
• Incorporate antioxidants and gentle actives into your skincare routine
• Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet
