Depending on your skin's response to the product, gradually introduce beta hydroxy acid products every other day, then progress to using them once or twice daily. Test the product carefully to understand how your skin responds positively. Use a moisturizer and sunscreen with at least SPF 30 during the day, as skin may be more susceptible to burning and damage if it is peeled. If you are undergoing a laser or peel procedure, follow the special post-procedure instructions provided by your doctor or nurse. If your skin appears to be extra sensitive after a laser or peel, wait a little while and use a peeling product containing beta hydroxy acid a few days after the procedure.
