Posted under Glycolic Peel q&a

Why is my face still peeling 3 weeks after a short series of superficial chemical peels?

bellesofholly
I did a series of 3 superficial glycolic peels and my bunny lines are still peeling 3 weeks later. Also, I have been wearing a hat and SPF 70 sunscreen, but I noticed after days outside, the peeling is worse. Do I just have sensitive skin or am I doing permanent damage when I go outside?
