A peel does its work in the days after your visit. Looking after your skin during that window decides how good the result is.

The first few days

  • Cleanse gently with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser.
  • Use a rich, simple moisturizer as often as your skin wants it.
  • Avoid scrubs, strong actives and hot showers until flaking has settled.

Sun protection is non-negotiable

Freshly renewed skin is more sensitive. A mineral sunscreen every morning, and a hat when you are outdoors, protects your result.
