A well-executed post-peel treatment not only ensures brighter, smoother skin, but also a smooth recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a peel and why does the skin need special care afterwards?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A peel is an aesthetic treatment that involves applying a solution to the skin to exfoliate the superficial layers of the epidermis. This process stimulates cell regeneration and improves skin texture, firmness and radiance. Depending on the intensity of the peel (superficial, medium or deep), the skin may look more or less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/sensitive-skin-centella-asiatica\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17300\">sensitive<\/a> and requires an adapted care plan to protect this new fragile layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key steps in Peel Recovery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Protecting your skin from UV rays: an absolute must<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why?<\/strong> After a peel, the skin is vulnerable to the damaging effects of UV rays, which can cause pigmentation spots and slow down the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid exposure to the sun<\/strong> during the 2 to 4 weeks following the peel. This reduces the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/creme-solaire-this-bad-habit-can-cost-you-dearly\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17325\">sun cream<\/a> with a protection factor of 50<\/strong> before each outing, even on overcast days, and reapply every two hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Maintain intense hydration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why?<\/strong> The acid solution applied during the peel eliminates the superficial layers of the skin, making it more sensitive to oxidation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/dehydration-lines\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17311\">dehydration<\/a> and tugging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Moisturize your skin<\/strong> morning and evening with a cream rich in repairing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin E, which soothe and deeply nourish the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drink enough water<\/strong> to promote hydration from within.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

These waters are soothing and reduce feelings of discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleanse your face with cold water<\/strong> to reduce heat and minimize irritation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid using scrubs<\/strong> or other exfoliating products for at least 3 days after the peel. The peel itself is an intense exfoliation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman during face peeling procedure in salon, closeup\" class=\"wp-image-22352\" style=\"width:638px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/young-woman-during-face-peeling-procedure-in-salon-closeup.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Follow the Natural Desquamation Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a medium or deep peel, the skin enters a desquamation phase: dead cells are shed to make way for new skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don't scrape off dead skin<\/strong> and don't try to remove them by force, which could cause scarring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If heavy scaling appears<\/strong>You can cut them gently with small, clean scissors, but without pulling on the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Avoid heat sources and covering make-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why?<\/strong> Excessive heat and certain types of make-up can further irritate fragile skin after peeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid saunas, steam rooms and hair dryers<\/strong> too hot for three days after the peel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose moisturizing BB creams<\/strong> rather than covering foundations that dry out the skin or accentuate dandruff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Monitoring and Responding to Potential Side Effects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although rare, certain side effects can occur following a peel, such as redness, scabs, burns or, in some cases, outbreaks of herpes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>In case of persistent redness<\/strong>Apply a neutral soothing cream without perfume or alcohol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For burning sensations<\/strong>If the wound is not healed, use a healing cream recommended by a professional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consult a doctor<\/strong> if you experience unusual symptoms or if redness and crusting persist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Back to Beauty Routine: When and How<\/strong> ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the skin is completely soothed and healed, it's time to resume a full beauty routine.
