For the first 24 to 48 hours after your chemical peel, you’ll want to avoid strenuous exercise or activity that causes you to sweat heavily, as sweat can clog your pores and lead to skin irritation. This is not the case with light peels, especially if you undergo light peels regularly, but it is necessary for medium peels. After a deep peel, which is an extensive facial rejuvenation treatment, you will not be ready for exercise for several days. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise as our skincare expert directs so that you can enjoy your ideal results and a speedy recovery process.
