- Wash your feet with cool water. Warm or hot water might not feel as good as cool or cold water, which can help soothe post-peel sensations.
- Moisturize and hydrate. Since peels can temporarily compromise your skin’s protective barrier, it’s important to reinforce that barrier with a medium-to-thick moisturizer. Also, drink more water to help avoid dehydration, which could make your skin feel tight.
- Apply sunscreen with SPF30 or more. Your skin is more delicate after a peel, so avoid direct sun exposure.
Once the skin feels “back to normal” after a peel, it’s generally considered OK to resume the normal skincare regimen. For more personalized advice, they can seek advice from a professional skin therapist on how to incorporate peels into their lifestyle.
