How to prepare your skin before a peel

The result of a peel starts a few days before the session. Three simple steps make a difference. First, stop using acids and scrubs five days before. Your skin should arrive calm, with no built-up sensitivity. Second, wear sunscreen every day, even indoors. Tanned or sunburned skin can't have the treatment. Third, moisturize well. A simple moisturizer, morning and night, leaves your skin better prepared and speeds up recovery.
