When can I do a steam and apply a mud mask after a glycolic peel?

Question

I have a routine of steaming my pores & then applying a mud mask but now that I have incorporated dermaplaing & a glycolic peel at 30% for 90 secs, I am not sure when I should do my steam and mud mask. I have been waiting at least 2 weeks between peels. Can this all be done at once in the same session? Dermaplane, glycolic, steam & then mask? Thank you.

Jamil Ahmad, MD · Answer

Generally, you should wait 2 weeks between skin care
treatments to allow your skin to achieve the best results from the glycolic
peel. Introducing a new treatment before that time may affect the results of
either treatment and instead of benefiting your skin it may actually harm it. 
The skin does acclimate to skin care treatments, speak to
your skin care provider and review your regiment to determine a schedule that’s
best for you.

Thank you for your question.
Every plastic surgery office has their own set of pre and post operative instructions that they recommend their patients follow. It is most important to follow the instructions of your surgeon.
