Natural AHA and BHA acids work well to remove the dead skin cells. This will uncover the healthy and glowy skin underneath. However, this isn’t anything unnatural that should worry you. This is nothing new for your skin, as you help the old layer come out faster. Professionals at Atlanta Institute For Facial Plastic Surgery would advise you to get a chemical peel done by a professional. Acids with a higher percentage should be handled by a professional only. After your treatment, you will be advised to implement a few changes in your regular beauty routine. 

Never skip your sunscreen

Sunscreen should be a part of your skincare routine. If you skipped it until now, you simply can’t after you have had a chemical peel. The dead skin cells have their part in protecting your skin from the harmful UV rays. When you do a chemical peel, your skin will be more susceptible to sun damage. You didn’t invest money and effort to get dark spots on your face. Just find a good sun protection product that matches your skin type. Even if you have oily skin, you don’t have to worry. Simply look for a gel product that won’t grease your skin.

Stay away from strong products

After you have had your chemical peel at Miracle Beauty Cosmetic Boutique, you would want to proceed with your normal routine. However, you will be advised that you can’t use your favorite vitamin C serum. Your skin is now sensitive, so you should skip all the products that can irritate it. You would want to avoid using essential oils when you had a chemical peel. Although they are natural, they can be irritating to the skin. Also, skip on physical exfoliation and retinol. Stick to basic and gentle products such as cleansing milk or sulfate-free foaming wash. 

Use a gentle patting motion to clean your face and apply the products. Don’t rub your skin or use rough towels to dry it. 

Moisturize well

When your skin had a chemical peel, it will likely feel dry. Your skilled technician at Medical Aesthetics Canada will tell you that you need to moisturize your skin well in the morning and evening. Pick a moisturizer according to your skin type, but boost on hydration if you feel like you need it. Get a hydrating product that contains glycerine, panthenol, jojoba oil, or other natural ingredients. 

Let it replenish itself naturally

After you have had a chemical peel with glycolic acid, your skin will likely be flakey. You might feel so frustrated if you want to leave your home, as your skin won’t look smooth. This means that the peeling does its job correctly and you should leave the rest to your skin. It will peel on its own, so resist the urge to pick it. You can worsen the problem this way and end up with dark spots. Let the skin heal itself by not obstructing the natural process with picking or physical exfoliation.
