How to Prepare For a Chemical Peel

If you happen to be using any prescription products (like Differin, Retin-A, etc) discontinue their use 3-4 days pre and post glycolic acid and lactic acid peels. Discontinue their use for 5 days before and 10 days after TCA peels. Sometimes, it’s also employed to use an AHA product or retinoid nightly for two main weeks before a chemical peel to obtain a more even peel. However, make sure you do this after your primary peel in order to gauge your skin layer's reaction.

If you're using peels for the first time, make use of the lowest concentration peel (i.e. 30% lactic acid, 30% glycolic acid, and 8% TCA) and gradually progress to stronger peels when your skin gets utilized to them. Don't get started with too strong of the peel, thinking you will definately get better recent results for your money. You will just wind up burning your epidermis! Your skin needs the perfect time to adjust to peels, so gradually raising the strength of the peel because your skin acclimates may be the safest supply of effective at-home peel results.

You usually perform peel every 21 days. Lighter peels like 30% lactic acid and glycolic peels could be safely done every 2 weeks. Deeper peels like TCA peels might be best done just once a month at the maximum.

1-2 days prior to use the peel, start washing using a soap-free cleanser (a cleanser without sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate). This will be sure that the peel penetrates your skin layer effectively. All acid peels perform best when skin were cleansed with overly alkaline products.

Depending around the type of chemical peel you will do, you should clear your agenda for a couple of days to help you sufficiently cure the peel without having to be in public using a red and sensitive face. How many events of downtime you will want will depend about the kind of peel you will get, so check the instructions that is included in the peel you purchase.

Make sure you've all the products you will want for post-peel care (see below) when you do the peel. That way you may not have to come to an end to get something when your skin layer is sensitive in the peel.
