What are the post-acid peel care methods?

Fruit acid peel is actually a method of skin repair, but if you want to achieve better results, you must take good care of your skin before it returns to normal. First of all, you must avoid sun exposure. Within 1 to 7 days after the peel, you must pay attention to facial cleanliness and wash your face with clean water. At the same time, use some ointments or nourishing creams under the guidance of a doctor to allow the skin to recover faster.

1. Before your skin returns to normal, avoid sun exposure (do not use sunscreen to avoid further skin irritation, and do not wear a hat to avoid scars on the brim of the hat). After returning to normal, if you want to go out, it is best to use sunscreen lotion every morning to prevent ultraviolet rays from causing pigmentation.

2. If you use fruit acid lotion, you should stop using it for 2-3 days after the operation and then resume using it, but it is still better to avoid applying it to the scabby area.

Do not scrape off the scabs on your face after the acid peel. They will fall off naturally in about 4-5 days. After the scabs fall off, the skin will turn pink. You should take good sun protection because sun exposure can easily cause skin pigmentation.

3. Within 1-7 days after the peel, wash your face with clean water every day, pat dry with a towel (avoid rubbing the skin hard), and use ointment or nourishing cream as instructed by the doctor after washing your face (once in the morning and once in the evening) until the skin returns to normal.

4. To avoid scars, do not shave, peel off scabs, scratch itchy skin, apply facial masks, wear a hat, etc. before the skin returns to normal.

5. The skin will gradually return to normal after 1-7 days. You can stop using ointments or nourishing creams and start to gently wash your face with cleansing products (but do not wipe hard with a sponge or towel, and gently pat dry to avoid irritating the skin). You can also resume using your original fruit acid care cream, fruit acid lotion or fruit acid gel once a night.

6. You should take good sun protection measures at ordinary times. Apply sunscreen lotion with SPF 15 or above 30 minutes before going out. Use a dark umbrella (such as black, blue, or green) when the sun is shining.
