Skin peeling has the effect of promoting the process of peeling skin cells, thereby regenerating new, brighter skin and effectively removing wrinkles. Therefore, you need to know how to best care for your skin after peeling so that your skin can recover best.

Advantages

Peel skin has emerged as a phenomenon because of its “divine” beauty ability with advantages such as:

• Supports the acne treatment process, when active ingredients BHA, AHA, Retinol, … are brought to the skin’s surface, they will quickly penetrate deep into the skin to help remove dead cells to clear pores. From there, hidden acne, blackheads deep inside the skin will be pushed to the skin’s surface and removed more easily.
• Brightens and evens skin tone thanks to the ability to stimulate the regeneration of new cells to replace old, dry skin cells. Thereby helping to improve conditions such as dark spots and dull skin, while improving skin pigmentation to help skin naturally whiten.
• Helps rejuvenate the skin and tighten pores thanks to the continuous production of collagen, while restoring broken skin cells. In addition, the skin will be increased in elasticity, erasing wrinkles caused by premature aging. In particular, active ingredients commonly used in skin peeling processes such as Retinol and AHA have effective anti-aging effects.

Disadvantages

In addition to the outstanding advantages, skin peeling also has significant disadvantages such as:

• The skin peeling process will cause the skin to peel to start regenerating new skin, at this time the skin will be very sensitive so it needs to be taken care of more carefully. In serious cases, if you do not pay attention to skin care after peeling, your skin can become pigmented or have skin diseases.
• Skin peeling can be “addictive” because of the immediate beauty effect and the cost is not too high. However, continuous skin peeling will cause new cells to not have time to produce and develop, greatly affecting the health of the skin.
• Skin peeling can cause complications such as redness, swelling, pain or prolonged skin burning.

How to take care of your skin after peeling

After “skin replacement” by peeling method, your skin will be very thin and sensitive. Therefore, you need to take care of it more carefully than usual to limit inflammation, dark spots or dull skin. The skin care process after peeling will be divided into 3 main stages:

Skin care after peeling from day 1-3

In the first few days after peeling, your skin will be a bit darker, drier and may feel a little sore. These are all normal conditions after peeling so you don’t need to worry too much when you encounter them, it can last about 2-3 days. During this time, your old skin layer will gradually peel off and be replaced by a new, stronger skin layer. Besides, this is also the stage when your skin becomes sensitive and needs the most careful care.

Use sunscreen to protect your skin from the effects of UV rays in sunlight because it can cause your skin to burn and destroy the structure of the skin. In addition, you should also limit your skin’s exposure to heat sources to avoid skin pigmentation. In case you need to stay in the sun for a long time, make sure your skin is well protected and reapply sunscreen after 2-4 hours.

Cleansing and moisturizing your face is the next thing you need to do to support the skin recovery process. In case your skin is chapped and sore, you should only use saline to wash your face or use a mineral spray to hydrate your skin.

Skin care after peeling from day 4-7

During this time, the skin often shows some symptoms such as peeling, causing a slight itching sensation or no symptoms at all. At this time, your skin will be slightly pink and thinner than before because the dead skin cells on the skin surface have been completely removed. For those with hidden acne under the skin, there will be more acne spots on the skin.

At this time, you should take care of your skin after peeling by using mild cleansers for the skin twice a day, morning and night, to deeply clean your face. If your skin still has a lot of hard peeling and pain, continue to use saline or clean water to wash your face and do not use cleanser.

Sun protection is one of the important steps that cannot be missed in the post-peel skin care process. During this stage, you must use medical sunscreens with an SPF of 50 or higher to protect your skin as much as possible from the sun. You should apply it evenly on your skin 30 minutes before going out in the sun so that the active ingredients can penetrate deep into the skin and reapply after 2 hours to ensure that your skin is always thoroughly protected.

Increase the amount of mineral spray on your skin regularly to ensure that your skin is always fully hydrated to avoid the skin becoming too dry. In addition, at this stage, if your skin does not have acne, roughness, dryness, etc., you can use additional Vitamin C serums to support skin whitening and promote skin recovery.

Skin care after peeling from day 7-14

After 7 days, your new skin will begin to form and become firmer, at this time the pimples will dry and peel off. In addition, the skin’s functions will gradually be restored to normal, making the areas with the original dark spots brighter and smoother, while significantly improving the condition of wrinkles.

During this week, you still need to protect your skin carefully and use sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ or higher, apply evenly all over your face 30 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply after 3 hours. In addition, you should also use other measures such as wearing a mask, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to maximize skin protection.

Supplementing nutrients is an indispensable part of the post-peel skin care routine. You should regularly use mineral sprays to hydrate your skin. At this stage, your skin is gradually recovering, so you can reapply your daily skin care routine with skin care products to promote the skin’s recovery process.

Things to do to take care of your skin after peeling

Facial cleansing

After peeling, in the first few hours your skin will often feel dry, red or slightly irritated due to contact with acid during the treatment. Therefore, you should not use facial cleanser for 4-6 hours after peeling to avoid making your skin feel dry and uncomfortable. During this time, you should limit your skin’s exposure to dirt as much as possible to prevent bacteria from entering the skin and developing into new acne.

However, facial cleansing is essential in the post-peel skin care process. Dermatologists recommend using saline to wash your face on the first day after peeling to clean dirt on the skin surface and support antibacterial skin without causing irritation or dry skin. You should use a cotton pad soaked in saline and gently wipe over the entire face, then rinse with water. In case your skin is too dirty, you can use a mild and benign makeup remover to remove it and then rinse your face with clean water.

Provides moisture to the skin

Hydrating your skin after a peeling treatment is extremely important because this beauty treatment will make your skin extremely dry and uncomfortable. At that time, you need to use moisturizing methods such as applying moisturizer, sleeping mask, moisturizing toner, etc. because this is the golden time for the skin to completely absorb active ingredients to help nourish and restore the skin.

Protect your skin from the sun

The essence of skin peeling is to separate bad elements and remove dead skin cells to replace them with a new, fresher layer of skin. However, the first period after peeling is when your skin is at its weakest, and UV rays from the sun are the “enemy” that needs to be prevented first at this time.

Therefore, one of the indispensable steps in the post-peel skin care process is to protect the skin from the sun. Use sun protection measures such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, masks or high-factor sunscreens to protect your skin from this harmful agent.

Things to avoid after skin peeling

Don’t sweat too much

Excessive sweating will affect the skin’s recovery process, and at the same time make the skin peeling process happen faster, easily leading to infection when the skin has not fully recovered. Therefore, you should limit outdoor activities such as sports, swimming, or exposure to high heat sources for 1-3 days or 1-2 weeks depending on the level of peeling you have done.

Do not exfoliate your skin

Exfoliating during post-peel skin care can cause more severe dryness and even skin burns. When performing a peel, the skin has been deeply cleansed with high concentrations of acids, which causes damage to the skin and requires time to recover and regenerate new skin cells. If you exfoliate again when the skin is recovering, it will cause more damage to the skin and slow down the natural recovery process.

Do not peel off the peeling skin yourself

Flaky skin on your face can be uncomfortable, but if you can’t control yourself and try to peel it off, think about the consequences: it can cause bleeding or worse, leave ugly scars on your skin.
