The Perfect Skincare Routine After A Glycolic Acid Peel

Hey Beauty Lovers!

I'm so excited to be sharing with you my post glycolic acid peel skincare routine. I use these products for 24 hours after a peel, and I find that this routine is perfect for recovering skin. It is so important to stay away from actives and harsh ingredients after a peel. Stick  with a very simple routine, and focus on repairing the skin barrier. Not shown in the photo above is sunscreen. You always need to use a sunscreen during the daytime after a glycolic peel. You should be using sunscreen daily, but especially after a peel.

Routine-

• Pacifica Beauty Coconut Dissolve Cleansing Oil Rehab- as you may know, I am obsessed with this oil cleanser. It smells so amazing, and it leaves my skin so soft! I love using this as a first cleanser after a glycolic peel. It is so gentle, and removes all the dirt and oil that accumulates over the day/night. I always follow up with a second cleanser, this just helps ensure that everything has been removed before moving on to the rest of my skincare routine.
• Paris Hilton Skincare ProD.N.A. Dual-Action Cleansing Gel*- I love how gently this cleanser deep cleans my skin. It is a gel cleanser formulated with fruit enzymes that help thoroughly clean the skin. I got this for free a while ago, and I still love to use it when my skin is feeling extra sensitive. I don't like to use it alone, but it works great as a second cleanser! 
• Alteya Organics Organic Bulgarian White Rose Water*- I am obsessed with this rose water spray! Not only does it smell amazing, it also calms and softens my skin. I use it twice a day, every day. It is not irritating at all, so it is perfect to refresh the skin after a peel. I don't spray this directly onto my face, I spray it into my palms and gently pat the product onto my skin.
• Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin Special Treatment Essence*- This is a new addition to my skincare collection, but I am already loving it! I love how niacin transforms my skin. I always try to include a product with niacin in my skincare routines. This one from Manyo Factory is brightening and pore refining. It is very gentle, so it can be used to help repair the skin after a peel. It is super affordable, and available on Amazon!
• Elizavecca Hell Pore Control Hyaluronic Acid Serum*- After a peel, hyaluronic acid is going to be your best friend. To avoid getting dry skin, I like to use a hyaluronic acid serum before applying my other moisturizing products. Your skin will thank you if include this serum in your lineup!
• Etude House Moistfull Collagen Eye Cream- I always apply my eye cream after my serums to help protect them from my heavier moisturizers. This also prevents the skin around my eyes from getting dehydrated when I sheet mask. This eye cream is insanely hydrating, and perfect for recovering skin.
• Nourishing Sheet Mask- My favorite sheet masks to use after a glycolic peel are ones that nourishing/hydrating. The Elensilia Revitalizing mask and the Leegeehaam Master Deep and Quick Aqua Care mask are my go to sheet masks post-peel.
• NeoStrata Dermal Replenishment*- It is so important to restore and protect the skin barrier after a chemical peel, and this moisturizer is fantastic for skin repair! It's a bit pricey, but so worth it. I cannot live without this product after a chemical peel. It really helps my skin bounce back to it's healthy state. 
• Radha Beauty Argan Oil- if you aren't using facial oils yet, you need to start ASAP! Argan oil is fanastic for all skin types, sinks into the skin quickly, and provides long lasting moisture. It is really one of my favorite oils! I like to apply a few drops to my skin after moisturizer to seal in all the hydration. It works really well under makeup and sunscreen, so I use it both AM and PM.
• Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Mineral Lotion- If you are getting chemical peels, you MUST use a sunscreen in the AM. Your skin is now at risk for deep UV damage, so please make sure to wear at least SPF 50 after a peel. I highly recommend this tinted mineral sunscreen, it is one of my favorites!
