Sauna After Glycolic Acid Peel?

May 19, 2009
Asked By:glowskin in San Jose, CA, US

I get 30% GA Peel weekly and was wondering, how long should I stay away from sauna after the peel? I practice yoga in a heated 110 degree room for an hour and half, and I started noticing brown spots on my face since I started the peel. I wear sunscreen diligently, and was wondering, is the heated room for yoga causing hyperpigmentation after peel? Is there a peel you recommend that I don't have to get so often like this one? Thank you!
