Do I need to wear sunscreen post chemical peel when inside?

Thank you for your question. Yes, you should wear sunscreen for as long as possible during your healing from a chemical peel. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon about the different sunblock options that include anti-aging ointments as well.
Best wishes,

If you are inside and the sun is coming in through the windows, you should wear sunscreen. Even going from your car to the house, you should wear sunscreen under clothing.

Dear sushmak295,
I would recommend you to do so. After peeling your skin is very vulnerable and an sun exposure can cause damage. You get exposed to UV radiation even in your home with closed windows.

Chemical Peels is an excellent treatment designed to over-turn skin cells to improve texture, and tone.

Chemical Peel Benefits Include:

Reduces fine lines, and wrinkles
Exfoliate sun damage
Treat pigmentation (such as Melasma)
Acne
Mild Scarring
Patients can experience 3-5 days of shedding and redness. During this period we ask patients to use a “Broad Spectrum” SPF 50 both indoors and outdoors, and avoid direct sunlight during peak UV light hours of 12pm-4pm.

Always discuss possible side-effect with you Board-Certified Dermatologist.

Thank you for your question. After a chemical peel, your skin is highly susceptible to sun damage. That’s why it’s critical that you apply sunscreen while you recover, whether you are indoors or out. Many people don’t realize the amount of UV exposure they receive in their own home if light is coming in through the windows. Outdoors you should wear liberal amounts of sunscreen as well as a hat to protect your skin.

Thank you for your question. If you will be indoors with the windows open, then yes, you should still apply sunscreen indoors. UV rays that enter from the windows can damage the outcome of your chemical peel. I would consult with your provider to discuss recovery directions to ensure you see the best outcome.
