Do chemical peels eventually prevent you from getting tan outdoors?

Chemical peels have no effect on tanning. If anything, the skin is more sensitive to the skin post-peel. Proper sun protection must be worn. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. No, getting chemical peels will not prevent you from getting tan outdoors. I don't recommend purposefully tanning because it will un-do everything you are trying to accomplish with a chemical peel. A chemical peel typically peels the outer layer of skin which can also make you more susceptible for getting sun exposure so you want to make sure you are wearing sunscreen. Hope this helps!
