How to care for your skin after peeling
There are, in any case, some basic rules: «At home, after the peeling, the skin must literally be nourished, you need to be generous with the doses even if at the beginning you feel a slight burning or discomfort», explains Rigoni.
The choice is between serums, creams or ointments. «All based on extracts of witch hazelchamomile, polypeptides, glycerin, vitamins and shea butter”, underlines the dermatologist. Among the star ingredients of the post-beauty treatment creams are also hyaluronic acid and gotu kola extract. While the first, resulting from a biofermentation process starting from vegetable sugars, preserves skin hydration, the second, extracted from the leaves of the so-called “tiger grass”, repairs in depth thanks to its saponins combined with flavonoids and mineral salts.
Also pay attention to your gestures: «In the days following the professional peeling, better to wash your face with thermal water which, if necessary, can be re-vaporated on red skin during the day” advises Rigoni. «Avoid wearing make-up, don’t take baths or showers that are too hot but, above all, avoid any type of do-it-yourself remedy». If in doubt about any skin rashes, contact your dermatologist or aesthetic doctor before intervening.

Rarely, in the 24-48 hours following the injections, other more serious redness and swelling appear in the treated area. In any case, these are symptoms that resolve spontaneously in a short time.
