First 24 Hours
Keep your skin clean, hydrated, and protected. Use a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturiser, and SPF. Avoid makeup, sweating, hot showers, sunbeds, and touching your face. Skip all active ingredients such as retinol, acids, and vitamin C.
24-72 Hours
Skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly dry. Focus on soothing and hydration only. Continue gentle skincare and SPF. Avoid exfoliants, strong actives, exercise, steam rooms, swimming, and fake tan. Use cooling tools if needed.
3-7 Days
Skin begins to glow as it heals. You can introduce gentle vitamin C and hydrating masks, but still avoid harsh exfoliation and picking at any flaking. If you had microneedling or BioRePeel, wait the full 5-7 days before reintroducing any active ingredients.
7-14 Days
Skin is settling beautifully. You may gradually return to your normal routine, including retinol and acids, if there's no sensitivity. Continue prioritising hydration and daily SPF.
Ongoing Care
For best results, exfoliate 1-2x weekly, use SPF every morning, and hydrate daily. Stick to recommended intervals: Microneedling every 4-6 weeks, BioRePeel every 7-10 days for a course or monthly, HydroFacial every 4-6 weeks, and other facials every 2-4 weeks depending on your goals.
Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water after your massage. This helps your body flush out toxins, reduces soreness, and supports muscle recovery.
Take It Easy
Give your body time to relax. Avoid intense exercise, heavy lifting, or high-stress activities for the rest of the day. Let the benefits of your massage settle in.
Support Your Muscles
Mild soreness is normal, especially after deep tissue work.
A warm bath or shower can soothe muscles. Avoid hot tubs or saunas if you feel light-headed.
Avoid Alcohol & Caffeine
These can dehydrate you and slow recovery. Choose water or herbal tea instead to help your body rebalance.
Listen to Your Body
Rest if you feel tired. Gentle stretching later in the day can help maintain loosened muscles, but avoid anything strenuous.
Skin & Product Care
If oils or lotions were used, avoid applying heavy products or fake tan straight after. Allow your skin to breathe and absorb the treatment.
Keep the Benefits Going
To maintain results, consider regular massages every 2-6 weeks depending on your needs. Stretch, stay hydrated, and check in with any tension areas.
