Do I really need to wear sunscreen after chemical peels on legs even when at home with closed windows?
Answer: Chemical Peel 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,

Answer: Use sunscreen indoors and outdoors after getting a chemical peel. 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.
