When can I apply moisturizer after a salicylic chemical peel done professionally? (photo)
Anita KayJan 8, 2019
The mixture was kept on my face for four minutes. I didn't experience any unusual discomfort during the procedure - just the tingling/burning sensations which subsided when washed off. It has now been roughly five hours since the peel, and my cheeks have really flared up & are bright red. I have a few questions:- - will the affected areas get worse before settling down? when can I wash my face? - when can I start applying moisturiser? once peeling begins, how frequently can i moisturise?
