Day 1-2:
No water is to be used on the face for the first 24 hours.
Apply nothing to the face for the 1st hour, Aquaphor or cortisone cream may be used if uncomfortable to keep the skin lubricated or ice pack
The skin should be minimally touched during this processing time.
The skin may have a frosted look (until you apply lubricant) and may have the appearance of being slightly sunburned.

Avoid heat and /or excessive sweating for the first 4 days.
Avoid makeup and/or shaving until the full peeling process is complete.
Day 3:
Gently cleanse the face twice a day with Gentle cleanser. The skin will start to feel very tight and dry.

When skin sensitivity is diminished, you may resume your normal skincare regimen as long as it is gentle and acid-free.
Makeup may be worn if the skin is no longer shedding.
Products that contain glycolic, lactic, or alpha hydroxyl acids should not be used for 2 weeks post-application of peel.
