Aftercare instructions for:
PYthon peel
-Do not exfoliate for 7 days. After that, only if your skin is no longer peeling/tight/uncomfortable, you can resume with your normal exfoliation of 2-3x per week (to prevent further build-up).
-Avoid using retinol for 7 days (including eye cremes with retinol)
-Avoid sun exposure, and apply SPF daily
-Avoid sweaty workouts and saunas for 3 days
-If peeling should occur, do not touch your face and/or peel the skin off
-Schedule your next Python Peel 4 weeks out unless your Skin Boss advises you otherwise
Important call-outs:
Redness could last until the next day.
While not as common, it is possible to experience redness following the peel, and leading into the next day.
It’s normal for skin to feel tight and sensitive after the Python Peel.
Cleanse with cool water, and to calm the skin, use a toner and Ice Queen. Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF daily.
It’s normal for your skin to feel dry and actually peel.
If peeling should occur, do not touch your face and/or peel the skin off.
It’s normal to break out after your facial, and your peel.
It is common to experience a breakout after a facial, or even after using the best skincare products, and that’s a good thing. When deep cleaning, any bacteria that was lying deep within the skin’s surface is simply being brought to skin’s surface. Ask yourself, do you want that bacteria in your body, or do you want it OUT?
It’s normal to experience purging.
A purge period can prompt a variety of pimples and look different from person-to-person. You may experience a mix of whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, cysts and pre-pimples that aren’t visible to the eye. Purging usually subsides in 1-2 days, but you can always contact the studio and send photos if you have follow-up questions!
Change your pillowcase.
Pillowcases house dead skin cells, dirty makeup, and saliva (for all your droolers) creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, clogged pores and zits.
Drink water.
Drinking water helps improve blood flow, and continues to flush your body of toxins.
Skin boss knows best.
Your skin boss knows your skin best, so their advice trumps anything on this page.
