As a guest of a top quality skin care Clinic you may just be looking for some routine R&R. However, you may also be actively searching for new ways to combat acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and the aging process.
In your search, you may have found that peels are one of the most effective ways of fighting those specific issues. A peel can be a great way to treat your skin, but with many there is also a "downtime". Downtime is the duration of the peeling process in which you are advised to stay out of the sun, and you may look less than 100%! Although a peel can do wonders for your skin, unfortunately life itself cannot stop for our beauty needs! Therefore, I am here to give you some tested, and true, tips on how to look your very best during that pesky downtime!
1. Healing Serum - an all natural concentrated serum designed to heal burnt, irritated skin. It contains pumpkin seed and carrot oil, and has been proven to make you peel 3 times faster than normal! Apply twice daily for the entire downtime. This also makes makeup application much smoother and makes peeling less noticeable.
2. Moisturize more AFTER you begin to peel - too much moisture before you begin to peel may prolong the peeling process.
3. Primer - A good primer is essential to makeup application during a peel! It is a thicker hydrating cream that goes on before your makeup and acts as a barrier for your skin. It fills in the fine lines and unevenness that peeling can cause.
4. Drink a lot of water - Internal hydration during a peel is extremely important. It allows your body to create new skin cells and repair and rebuild your natural barrier. A good rule of thumb is to drink (in ounces) half of your body weight in water.
5. Toner - A toner is designed to bring your skin back to its normal pH as well as hydrate and kill bacteria. Spritz your face with toner to make your product go further, to set your makeup or when you're feeling dry/cracking throughout the day!
6. Liquid foundation - A liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer is the easiest, most comfortable form of foundation during a peel. It hydrates and makes the cracks and peeling in your skin less prominent. Powder foundations absorb oil (healing serum) and water; they also give a matte look, which makes the peeling stand out and the skin look dry. Set makeup with a loose powder if skin looks oily/shiny.
7. Don't pick! - Picking at your peel allows bacteria onto the raw (peeling) skin and may cause scarring and hyperpigmentation.
8. Enjoy- After the peeling process is done, enjoy your improved skin and radiant glow!
