How long after a chemical peel can you apply make up?

Depending on what type of peel was performed, make can be applied a day after your treatment. With a light to medium peel, make up can be applied the next day. Deep chemical peels will have more downtime and the skin should be protected with Polysporin or other post peel ointment. With these peels no make up should be applied until the skin has calmed down and started healing. This is to avoid causing an infection to the treated area.
