Sunscreen is arguably the most important part of any skin care routine, but especially so after a peel. "You don't want to cause burning or hyperpigmentation, so sunscreen is important," Nussbaum said. But not just any sunscreen should be used post-peel: "Mineral-based formulas are great because it won't penetrate or clog the pores; it'll just block UV rays from the skin," she said.
We love Supergoop! Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen (£25). It has olive oil and polyphenols that will also keep your skin soothed after your treatment.
