[Product Question] MUAC 12.5% TCA + sunny destinations in months following treatment

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone!I lived through my first (and hopefully last) bout of cystic acne last year, and have been dealing with some pretty intense discoloring and pitted scarring on my cheeks. I finally caved around the New Year and bought about $50 worth of MUAC products + $40 shipping. I'd never cough up that kind of cash for shipping, but your recommendations and experiences were pretty persuasive.Here's what Wendy recommended for me:_Niacinimide serum (2x day except on day of peels, and none for 48 in advance/ 2 weeks following TCA peels) _Mandelic/Salicylic peel (bought a sample) _TCA 12.5% if I decide I'd like a deeper peelBeing a rookie, I have stuck to the Mandelic/Salicylic peel for 4 weeks out of the 8 that she recommended (and am going to finish the round). It's a great product and a good peel to help your skin get acclimated to peels, but not a miracle worker for discoloration like the reviews made it out to be. I will finish this sample, and am preparing myself for the possibility of needing a TCA peel to get my skin back to normal-ish.Luckily, I'm a teacher and will have a 2-week break in April, and will have the month of May off. This will let me time the peels in such a way that I won't have downtime overlapping with classes.QUESTION (finally): I am aware that this is a pretty serious peel, and I'm taking the months after into consideration when thinking about downtime. I have heard that it is imperative to avoid sun exposure (which I do anyway) for a few months after a TCA peel of any percentage. I'm spending the summer in Turkey and am possibly visiting a friend in Israel in May. These are some sunny destinations. For those who have done a TCA peel and live in sunny places - were sunscreen (SPF 50) and a hat sufficient for you? (I wear those daily as it is.) The good news is that Turkey is hot in summer so I'm unlikely to spend time outside in the brightest hours of the day.I know TCA is the daddy of chemical peels and I am not taking any risks on this. Thanks in advance for the advice.TL;DR MUAC fan thus far on M/S, considering TCA 12.5%, will be traveling to sunny places in a few months, concerned about healing in months after and wondering if good sunscreen and a hat and avoiding sun will be enough to mitigate sunny destinations over next few months.
