Answer: Can I start wearing makeup a day after a chemical peel? Thank you for your question. Whether or not you can wear makeup one day after a chemical peel will depend on the depth of the peel. A light peel only affects the superficial top layer of the skin, and therefore it is probably safe to wear makeup after a light peel. Medium and deep peels penetrate deeper into the skin, dissolving away the protective outer layers and exposing healthy new skin underneath. However, that healthy new skin needs time to heal, and putting makeup on can not only irritate this delicate tissue, but also put you at a higher risk for infection. As such, I recommend that you wait at least a week before wearing makeup after a medium or deep peel. With all of that being said, you should consult with the experienced person who is performing your peel. They can give you more specific answers according to your skin and the type of peel you have chosen. Best, Dr. Verbin

Answer: Can I Start Wearing Makeup a Day after a Chemical Peel? It does depend on the strength of the peel. Makeup typically contains a lot of bacteria which can cause irritation and infection. Since each peel is different we suggest contacting your licensed medical aesthetican to see which peel was preformed and ask their recommendation on when you can continue using makeup.

Answer: Chemical Peels and Makeup This is a great question, and it all depends on the type of chemical peel you get. If you are getting a light, "superficial" chemical peel, sometimes known as the "party peel," you can wear makeup almost immediately. Some of the stronger peels--such as medium depth and deep peels--may require you avoid makeup and your usual skin care products until you have stopped peeling. You can expect to peel for at least one week with medium-depth peels and at least two weeks with deep peels.

Answer: It depends on the strength and depth of the chemical peel For mild peels such as 15% glycolic or salicylic acis, mineral makeup if fine.Mineral makeup desn't have any chemicals or preservatives and won't cause any irritation to the skin. Most of the mineral makeup brands also have SPF 15-18.That will give you some extra protection but you should still have you sunscreen every day. Forr deeper and more aggressive chemical peels you should consult your doctor when is safe to apply makeup.
