Hi! I was going to do the TCA peel (30%) tomorrow night (sunday) and then mostly stay put for the next two weeks. However, I have this beach party I'm going to 2 weeks after the peel and I'll be outside all day. Do you think it would be a bad idea? I thought after 2 weeks I was good to go but I read that some people saying that I should avoid the sun for up to 6 weeks - 2 months. Thoughts? I might wait for 2 weeks and then peel right after that.

That should be fine. But just make sure you wear sunscreen. If anything, go with a 15% just to make sure. I'm no expert though.

The more sun exposure the greater the risk of PIH persistence.

Please be carefull with a 30 percent tca peel, if you are doing it yourself. You can really harm yourself if you are not carefull.

Regarding the sun exposure, if you apply sunscreen (at least spf 30) and reapply it every two hours, you should be fine.

ok thanks guys! I've done it before myself but I'm pretty careful with it so so far so good! I was going to do it today but I realized I might have an important interview coming up so I might wait until a bit later.. Thanks!
