Question

I am on day 3 of my chemical peel. My face is tight, hard and itchy. It is 39* and windy outside. Can I use Jojoba oil or Vaseline on my face?

Please use whatever your doctor prescribed. It is very important to use the right products to assure proper healing.

Hello, jojoba oil is safe to use on your face. Make sure that you research any other ingredients that may be in the oil, as jojoba oil is prominent in a lot of exfoliating products - which you should avoid. I would recommending a more emollient product like CeraVe to help with the healing process. Always followup with the provider who did your peel, as they may have more specific recommendations for you.I have extensive experience with peels, please see my RealSelf profile for examples of this procedure. We currently offer our peels from $109-$159 this month. All the best,
