Do not exfoliate the skin for 48 hours following your microdermabrasion or peel treatment. This includes scrubs, any cleansers or serums containing salicylic, glycolic, or other resurfacing and treatment acids, cleansing brushes, enzyme masks, or rubbing the skin with a washcloth.

Use a gentle, non-treatment cleanser. This is my recommendation always, whether you have had a resurfacing treatment or not. If you need a deeper cleanse, I recommend a deeply massaged oil cleanser.

Wear a sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater and minimize sun exposure. This is important after a skin resurfacing treatment. Your skin will thank you for shielding it from the damaging effects of the sun.

Do not peel or pick at the skin. I know it can be tempting, but it only serves to potentially damage the skin and prolong the healing process. Your skin must go through this process to achieve and reveal the best results.

While it seems logical to moisturize the skin when it is possibly feeling tight and dry, over-moisturizing will block the natural flaking process and could potentially clog the pores. Let the skin breathe as much as possible. You only need a hydrating serum or a standard layer of moisturizer, plus a sunscreen for daytime.
