Peeling after chemical exfoliation or professional treatments is totally normal—it means your skin is renewing itself! But those flakes can be annoying. Here’s how to manage them without compromising your glow-up, plus the best soothing products to stock up on.
5 Golden Rules for Post-Peel Care
-
Hydrate Like Crazy
Use a fragrance-free moisturizer packed with ceramides or panthenol to calm skin and reduce flakes. -
Cleanse Gently
Skip harsh scrubs! Opt for a non-foaming, pH-balanced cleanser (salicylic acid is okay if your skin tolerates it). -
Hands Off!
No picking—let flakes shed naturally to avoid scars or irritation. -
Soothe with Thermal Water/Toner
Spritz throughout the day to reduce redness. For enlarged pores, try a gentle pore-refining toner. -
SPF is Non-Negotiable
New skin = ultra-sensitive. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily to prevent dark spots.
