Sunscreen after laser, without the lecture
The single most important step after any laser or peel takes ten seconds and costs very little.
Written byDr. Marta QuilesLaser and pigmentAfter resurfacing, new skin is thin and reactive to light. A day of sun in the first month can undo a treatment or leave pigment behind.
What to use
A mineral sunscreen of SPF 30 or more, tinted if you have medium or darker skin, reapplied when you are outside for more than two hours.
How long
Strictly for four weeks after laser and peels. After that, every day anyway: it is the cheapest anti-ageing treatment we know.
