Here are the basics for facial aftercare to help you maintain a healthy glow! 1. Avoid Touching Your Face • After a facial, your pores are more open, so keep hands off to avoid transferring any dirt or bacteria. 2. Skip Makeup for 24 Hours • Give your skin a break to fully absorb all the benefits from your facial without any makeup blocking the pores. 3. Stay Out of the Sun • Freshly treated skin is more sensitive to the sun. Avoid direct sunlight and apply SPF if you must be outside. 4. Skip Exfoliation for a Few Days • Your skin has just been deeply cleansed, so hold off on exfoliating for at least 3-5 days to avoid irritation. 5. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! • Drinking water helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin hydrated, maximizing the benefits of your facial. 6. Moisturise Regularly • Use a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If your facial included new skincare products, ask if you should continue those at home. 7. Avoid Hot Showers or Saunas • Heat can further open your pores, potentially causing irritation. Stick to lukewarm water for at least 24 hours. 8. Use Gentle Skincare Products • Avoid harsh or active ingredients like retinoids and strong acids for a few days, as your skin is more sensitive post-treatment. 9. Don’t Pick or Pop Anything! • Avoid picking at your skin, as this can lead to scarring or breakouts after a facial. These steps will help prolong the results of your facial and keep your skin looking fresh and radiant!
