Post Procedure Skin Care - SOS Recovery Kit
At some point you may experience compromised skin.
This could be post procedure from a visit to your derms office such as IPL; a chemical peel; microdermabrasion; laser therapy; or perhaps an old fashioned sunburn.
Before this happens, create for yourself an SOS (Save Our Skin) Recovery Kit to cool, soothe, restore and rebalance your skin.
The Key is Hydration
The care of your skin post treatment makes a difference - most likely your skin is dehydrated and your skin's barrier temporarily damaged.
Provide TLC to Heal and Repair
Avoid scrubs, rough wash cloths, cleansing brushes and sonic cleansers.
Avoid retinoids and acids 24 hours to 5 days post procedure / damage.
Be DILIGENT with your daily sunscreen wear.
