Chemical peels remove the top layer of your skin revealing healthier, blemish-free skin. They offer deep exfoliation which also helps in correcting other skin imperfections such as wrinkles, fine lines, open pores, sun damage, dark spots, and uneven skin tone.
Although chemical peels have become a staple at every spa and the results are amazing, there are certain things that you need to know before getting a chemical peel treatment. Your aesthetician will guide you on how you can take care of your skin after the treatment and what precautions you must take. But in this article, we’ll tell you about the steps you need to take in order to prepare your skin for the treatment.
Stop Exfoliating
Chemical peels are potent exfoliants. This is why it is essential that you stop exfoliating one week prior to the treatment. Both chemical and physical exfoliation must be avoided. Sometimes face washes, cleansers and moisturizers also have a peeling effect, make sure you read the ingredients and actions carefully and avoid using such products in the last 3 to 5 days before coming for your treatment.
Moreover, you should also avoid exfoliation after the treatment as it can lead to irritation and aggravate the peeling effect.
Stay Hydrated
Keeping your skin hydrated is the key to getting the best results from your peeling treatment. This means hydrating your skin both topically and internally.
Use light moisturizers to keep the moisture intact and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside.
Avoid Cosmetic Procedures/Styling Products
You must avoid getting any cosmetic procedures done to your skin before getting your chemical peel treatment. This includes laser treatment for hair removal, depilatory treatments of all sorts, hair straightening treatments, hair dying, shaving, facial masks, and tanning.
Always keep in mind that chemical peels are concentrated and when you undergo a peeling treatment, you shouldn’t mess with your skin.
Plan Ahead Of Your Recovery Time
After a chemical peel, you’ll need some time to recover as your skin will shed dead cells and it could take some days. If you have any plans or events lined up, make sure you book your chemical peel accordingly.
Book An Appointment To Discuss Your Skin Concerns With An Aesthetician
This is, in fact, the most critical aspect of getting a chemical peel. Only a professional can determine whether your skin is suitable for a peel. More specifically, there are different kinds of peels recommended for various skin issues. Your aesthetician will review your skin and choose the peeling solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Having a one-on-one meeting is also essential because the aesthetician will also determine whether you need a patch test or a sensitivity test before using the actual peel.
