* After the chemical peel, skin will be more sensitive to direct sun exposure. For the following 2 weeks it is important to use a reflective sunscreen containing a zinc oxide and or titanium dioxide. * A chemical peel is formulated to remove the buildup of dead skin cells in the stratum corneum (the top layer of the skin). This prepares the skin to be more accepting and readily absorbs topical products. It is highly recommended to apply active ingredients to hydrate, moisturize, nourish and protect your skin from free radicals which contribute to premature aging. Professional products with concentrated amounts of active ingredients will improve acne breakouts, reduce pigmentation and diminish the appearance of fine lines and skin laxity. * Professional home care products will both enhance and also extend the results of your treatment.
