Post Care

The peel solution should remain on the treated areas for at least 6 hours. Do not wash, touch, rub, or apply SPF or makeup to treated areas during this time. The peel will self-neutralize after 6 hours and can be removed at that time, or left on overnight if desired. Any gentle cleanser may be used to remove it.

The treated area may feel tight and appear darker. Underlying pigmentation spots may also appear darker — this is expected.

The Post Peel Moisturizer provided in your home care kit may be used after six hours, but only under the following conditions:

• Your skin feels excessively irritated or uncomfortable
• You have a Fitzpatrick Skin Type IV–VI, or a history of melasma or hyperpigmentation
• A booster such as Perfect Derma Clear, Plus, or Plus Plus was added during your treatment

• Gently cleanse and pat dry the treated areas using the provided cleanser.
• Using the 1st Post Peel Towelette, vigorously apply the solution to the entire treated area while the towelette is still folded in its square shape.
• As the towelette begins to dry out, unfold it fully and continue applying until the entire solution has been used.
• Allow the skin to air dry for 30 minutes before applying Mineral Perfection SPF 30.
• Makeup may be applied, if desired and if the skin remains intact and comfortable.

• If you are experiencing irritation or are a Fitzpatrick IV–VI, apply a small amount of Post Peel Moisturizer 2–3 times daily. If the Post Peel Moisturizer irritates your skin, you can substitute it with 1% over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream and may also add a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer if desired. If there is no significant irritation, do not use moisturizing products until the treated areas begin peeling, usually on Day 3.

  Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, heavy exercise, and sun exposure during the peeling process — these can cause irritation or extend downtime.

Peeling typically begins on Day 3 and may continue through Day 6. During this time, your skin may feel tight, dry, or itchy. Visible flaking, shedding, or a bronzed texture is expected.

Moisturize & Protect:

• Once peeling begins, apply a thin layer of Post Peel Moisturizer to the treated areas 2–3 times daily to relieve dryness and tightness.
• Continue use of Post Peel Moisturizer for:
  – One week for Caucasian skin
  – Two weeks for Asian, Black, Hispanic, and Indian skin
• If you run out of Post Peel Moisturizer, you may substitute with 1% over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, unless contraindicated.

The peeling process is generally complete. Continue to protect your skin with Mineral Perfection SPF 30.

You may resume your regular skin care products unless your skin is not fully healed. If you have residual irritation or mild peeling, wait until your skin is 100% healed.

Delay any resurfacing treatments for at least 2–4 weeks for lighter skin types. Black, Asian, and tanned skin types should delay for at least 4 weeks.

To support proper healing and protect your results, please avoid the following until all peeling, dryness, and sensitivity have fully resolved:

• Do not rub, pick, or pull at peeling or sloughing skin—even light flaking
• Do not shave the treated area, as this can cause irritation or disrupt healing
• Avoid all exfoliants, including scrubs, masks, AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids
• Avoid waxing, laser treatments, or any resurfacing procedures in the treated area
• Do not use loofahs, washcloths, cleansing brushes, or any mechanical exfoliation tools
• Avoid sweating, hot tubs, saunas, and swimming until the skin is fully healed
• Avoid all scented lotions, soaps, and products, as fragrance can irritate healing skin
• Avoid makeup until the peeling process is complete and skin is intact
• Continue to apply Mineral Perfection SPF 30 daily and reapply every 2 hours during any sun exposure, even after visible peeling ends
