| I recently have been trying to get back to my pre pregnancy weight AND fixing my so called post pregnancy 'Hormonal Acne'. I was going to the gym 3 days a week before i discovered the amazing results of Chemical peels, specifically started with Salicylic and Mandelic Acid peels. But in my research, I read that I can't work out /sweat during my peels. But I want to keep up with my weekly peels but then that means no working out? Does anyone have any work around for this? I know that from my current skin issues now, I will have to be doing peels for a good 2 to 4 months to get the results I want, but I don't want to have to not work out for that long. |

| Depends how deep your peels are, if you are primarily exfoliating simply do your peel before a two or three day break from training. If you are doing deeper peels where the skin goes dry and peels away over a week or more then you need a longer downtime. Stressed skin does not heal as well, sweat is irritant and the increase in heat and blood flow will increase inflammation. |

As opposed to going to the gym while you're continuing with the peels, why not opt for walking instead. Unless it's summer, or a steep incline I struggle to break into a sweat if I'm just walking.
Ironically for me I find anything with my skin heals faster when I exercise. My skin doctor just says to skip any exercise for 24 hours post-treatment, then return to my usual schedule - and I'm talking peels, microdermabrasion or laser.
Last year I had major surgery to remove a gigantic fibroid tumour (the size of a cantaloupe melon!) and my surgeon who knew I'm a fitness freak said to start back walking 3 weeks post surgery and start jogging again at 4 weeks -- his reason being that exercise and getting the blood circulating, etc actually speeds up healing. This worked really well for me. When I saw him at my 6 week check-up he was stoked at my healing and recovery and that I was pretty much back to my full fitness regime. I had zero post-operative complications and now I'm seriously at super human fitness levels  |
