Exercise after chemical peel and dermaroller treatments?

Question

How soon can I exercise after light chemical peel and dermaroller providing skin isn’t red or inflamed? Many thanks in advance.

Hello Julia,
I always think 24 hours is sensible. Beyond that just be careful not to rub your face if you are sweating- just pat it down if you sweat. Sun protection is really important (even on cloudy London days!) so good sunscreen and a hat are needed. 
Thanks!

depends on the depth of peel.
Sun protection is paramount.
At least 24 hours no exercise and strict sunscreen use.

I usually advise my patients to avoid sweating (i.e. exercise) for about 24 hours after a chemical peel even if the skin doesn't appear immediately red or inflamed.  It may become so later.  Also, I tend to ask my clients to please avoid the sun if possible for about 24 hours, then diligent use of sunscreen.
