Your skincare actives
When to pause and restart
This is for chemical peels, herbal peels and microneedling. Count your treatment day as day 1.
These timings are a guide, and your skin has the final say. After a peel, please wait until all the peeling has stopped before you bring back any acid, even if the table says you could. If something stings when you bring it back, stop and give it another couple of days. If you use prescription skincare, such as tretinoin, check with me before your treatment.
Your SPF: putting it on in the morning isn't enough on its own. Reapply it every 2 hours when you're outside, and again after sweating or towel drying.
After a facial without exfoliation: leave acids and retinol for 48 hours. After LED on its own: there's no need to pause anything. After dermaplaning, microdermabrasion or a gentle peel: bring them back from day 4.
