Aftercare

1. Avoid Touching Your Face Why: Your pores are open and more prone to bacteria. Tip: Keep your hands clean and avoid picking or squeezing any blemishes. 2. Skip Makeup for 24 Hours Why: Let your skin breathe and absorb the benefits of the facial. Tip: If you must apply makeup, opt for non-comedogenic and mineral-based products. 3. Stay Out of the Sun Why: Your skin may be more sensitive to UV rays. Tip: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, even if it's cloudy. 4. Avoid Exfoliating Why: Your skin has already been exfoliated during the facial. Tip: Wait at least 3–5 days before using any scrubs, AHAs, BHAs, or retinoids. 5. Skip Steam and Heat Why: Excess heat can irritate post-facial skin. Tip: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for at least 24 hours. 6. Use Gentle Skincare Products Why: Harsh ingredients can disrupt your freshly treated skin. Tip: Stick to hydrating and calming products like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or ceramide-rich creams. 7. Stay Hydrated Why: Hydration helps maintain that post-facial glow. Tip: Drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer daily.

1. Hydrate Well Why: Massages can help release toxins and waste products from muscle tissue. Tip: Drink plenty of water to help flush these from your system. 2. Rest and Relax Why: Your body needs time to process the effects of the massage. Tip: Avoid strenuous activity or intense workouts right after the session. 3. Eat Light Why: Your body is in a healing mode, and heavy meals may hinder the relaxation effect. Tip: Choose nourishing, easily digestible foods post-massage. 4. Take a Warm Bath Why: This can extend the relaxation and soothe any residual soreness. Tip: Add Epsom salts for extra muscle recovery benefits (unless advised otherwise). 5. Stretch Gently Why: It helps maintain muscle flexibility and prevents stiffness. Tip: Focus on slow, mindful movements, especially if the massage was deep tissue. 6. Watch for Side Effects Normal: Mild soreness or fatigue is common. Concerning: If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have prolonged pain, contact your massage therapist or a healthcare provider. 7. Listen to Your Body Why: Everyone reacts differently. Tip: If something doesn’t feel right, rest more or check in with a professional. Let me know if the massage was for a specific issue (e.g., injury recovery, stress relief), and I can tailor this more specifically.
