Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would use mineral makeup after a chemical peel. Spectrase SPF, Melarase PM, and Replenish can help maintain results. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

If you had a mild to moderate peel, wearing makeup is fine to use. I recommend using a mineral makeup & be sure to clean your make up off completely before you go to bed so you do not clog any pores.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your query. Usually it is better to avoid makeups 3 to 5 days post chemical peel as skin exfoliation will happen in various degrees and chances of infections are more. You can always use a make up from day 3 of your light chemical peel. Your doctor is the best person to guide you. Take care.
