Did I damage my skin from sun exposure right after chemical peel?

December 9, 2024
Asked By:Intellectual122583 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Long story short had my first VI precision plus peel mid October. Esthetician told me I could go walk immediately after with just a baseball hat (still had peel solution on so so sunscreen). I walked 45 min outside. Did I wreck my skin? No sunburn but 2.5-3 weeks after my Jawline/cheeks turned stretchy/doughy like they lost elasticity. Is this skin damage from my peel and not having sunscreen on for that walk immediately after? As mentioned mid October and Minnesota so maybe UV index of 1-2
