Is it safe to go in the sun after a chemical peel, and do I need special sunscreen?
Dermatologists recommend strictly avoiding direct sun exposure for at least 7–10 days after a peel, especially with medium or deep peels. You must use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+), ideally mineral-based, and reapply it every 2–3 hours. Sun protection is key to preventing post-peel pigmentation and ensuring the best results.
