Hi Debi, Thank you for your question, Glycolic acid peels are a light, non-invasive treatment used to remove the upper layers of dead and damaged skin and encourages skin cell regeneration. Sun exposure is not recommended before or after treatment for at least 1-2 weeks. Your skin is very delicate after a peel; sun exposure can cause a burn, unwanted pigmentation and in some cases blistering. Please wear a hat when outdoors and always wear a sunscreen of SPF 30+; Elta MD is our favorite pure zinc oxide sunscreen. Good Luck!
