What is the Best Way to Prep for a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels can be very harsh on your skin if you don’t prepare for it correctly. However, if you get your skin in pristine condition and make sure it’s all good to go, this procedure can do absolute wonders for you. Chemical peels are a quick and easy way to boost your skin's glow and make your face look like a teenager again by removing layers of the skin.

In order to prepare for this treatment you must take some specific steps, and for those of you who are more sensitive to products, make sure you ask your doctor beforehand. First, make sure your lotions are very delicate or in other terms don’t have a list of ingredients on the back that are barely English. Also, depending on the type of peel or the intensity of it, your doctor may prescribe you specific lotions that you should use in order to prepare your skin. This also goes for your washes. Make sure you aren’t using any products with “scrub” in them for up to 48 hours before the peel, as they make your skin more gentle than it would be otherwise.

Next, make sure you are reducing sun exposure in order to ensure the pigmentation in your skin is at its most natural state. This way when you are getting the peel the doctor knows what areas need to be focused on more than others. It is also a good idea to reduce sun exposure in general, but now you have an excuse to say no to your friends going to the beach! Lastly, but definitely not least (ask your doctor if you have any additional questions), don’t shave or wax or do any other crazy hair removal process for 48 hours before.

While there are many different places you can go to, to get your peel done, I highly recommend using Mobile Styles as they will have someone come right to you, meaning you won’t have to step in public with a bright red face!
