# Are there activities I should avoid during VI Peel recovery?

Yes, to ensure optimal results and minimize discomfort during your VI Peel recovery, it's wise to avoid the following:

- **Sun Exposure:** Minimize time outdoors, especially during midday. Diligent use of SPF 30+ is a must, even on cloudy days.
- **Sweating:** Avoid strenuous workouts, saunas, or hot showers that can increase heat and irritation to the skin.
- **Touching or Picking:** Resist the urge to touch or pick your peeling skin. This can increase the risk of scarring or uneven pigmentation.
- **Waxing or Hair Removal:** Skip waxing, epilating, or any hair removal treatments on the treated area until fully healed.
- **Harsh Products:** Avoid using any products with strong acids, retinol, or physical exfoliants until your skin has completely recovered.

AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills will provide you with a detailed list of activities to avoid for your specific case.
