• The first two days your skin may look a little tan, bronzed, or pink. It may also feel a bit tight before the peeling begins.
• Treat your skin like a sunburn – avoid sun exposure, excess sweating, and heat. 
• During the peeling phase you must avoid sun exposure. Reapply your sunscreen at least 3 times per day.
• Do not “help” the skin to peel. NO pulling, rubbing, scrubbing, or peeling the skin as this can cause scarring or hyperpigmentation.
• If any post-peel products sting or irritate beyond your tolerance, reach out to your provider for alternatives.
• The amount of visible peeling you will experience varies greatly. You will peel as much as your skin needs to peel. Peeling is a side effect of treatment, not the goal!
