Are you wondering how to reduce the visible skin aging signs, get rid of acne and facial discoloration? A chemical peel at mint spa Virginia will leave you enjoying a glowing look. Our professional skin therapist work hard to help reveal a brighter, smooth skin. Professional chemical peels range from mild to the intense peels and is a good alternative to the riskier home-use skin peel formulas available at the beauty shop near you. At Mint spa, we consider your skin sensitivity while performing the professional chemical peel. Here are some post chemical peel tips for you.
- Avoid Direct Sun Exposure
After getting the professional chemical peel, your skin is more delicate and so it is important that you avoid the direct sun exposure. It is imperative to avoid exposure to sun rays for at least one week after a professional chemical peel. If probably because of the nature of your job you cannot avoid direct sun exposure, you can opt for the best sunscreen to protect your skin from the effects of direct sun exposure.
- Avoid using dirty fingers to Rub, Peel, or Scratch the Skin
The skin is prone to infections given that it is more sensitive after the chemical peel. Therefore, if you must touch the skin make sure your hands are clean. In most instances, it is normal to feel the urge for scratching especially whilst the skin is healing. Always do so using clean hands.
- Avoid Irritating soaps and Lotions
The sensitive skin will react to irritating soaps and lotions and so you should avoid these. Only use lotions or soaps after the skin is healed which can take up to a week. In addition, it is important you avoid buying new creams for facial use, as you are not sure if they might have some effects on your skin.
- Moisturize and Hydrate the Face
A medium to thick moisturizer helps to reinforce the skins protective barrier. Consider that a chemical peel will compromise this barrier and so the reason for using the moisturizer. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, which makes the skin feel tight.
- Avoid Strenuous Workouts and Dry Saunas
Increasing the circulation of blood to the face will lead to an intensified warming, tingling, itching, skin redness and uncomfortable side effects. These activities also dehydrate the skin, which is dangerous. Therefore, avoid those activities until the skin is healed.
