CAN I USE REGULAR SKINCARE AFTER THE PEEL – AND WHAT ABOUT SHAVING?

Not straight away. For the first 3 days, use only a gentle cleanser, SPF 50, and a barrier-repair moisturiser (we’ll guide you). Hold off on any exfoliants, retinols, or active products until we give the all-clear. As for shaving, avoid it for at least 48hrs as your skin will be too sensitive.

CAN I GO BACK TO WORK OR GYM AFTER?

You can go about your day, but it’s best to avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours, and no sauna, swimming, or direct heat exposure for 7 days. Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual, so take it easy for a few days.

WILL I ACTUALLY PEEL?

Maybe. Some clients experience flaking or dryness a few days after the treatment – especially with stronger peels – while others don’t. Both outcomes are completely normal. Visible peeling isn’t required for results to show.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FACIAL AND A CHEMICAL PEEL?

A facial is a reset; it cleanses, hydrates, and refreshes your skin. A chemical peel is a clinical-level treatment designed to target specific concerns like breakouts, pigmentation, or dullness. Peels are more corrective, while facials are more about maintenance. Both can work well together, depending on what your skin needs.

IS IT GOING TO STING?

You might feel some tingling or warmth during the treatment – this is normal and temporary. Most people describe it as mildly uncomfortable at most. We’ll monitor you throughout and keep things within your comfort zone.
