Aftercare

Avoid the following for 24 hours post treatment:

• Swimming, Saunas, Steam rooms
• Exercise or Strenuous activities
• Tight clothing in the area, applying anything perfumed e.g.(deodorant, make-up etc) to the area waxed.
• Do not scratch or touch the area with unwashed hands.
• Exfoliate the area once per week
• Moisturise the area daily

• Be especially careful in the first 24 hours after application and avoid intense heat during this period (e.g. saunas, hot bath, or sunbeds).
• Use cuticle oil daily to keep your nails nourished, to stimulate growth and prevent lifting.
• Always wear rubber gloves when washing up, cleaning or gardening.
• Always wash your hands thoroughly after being in contact with chlorine, insect repellent or sunscreen.
• Always return to salon for maintenance and removal.
• Avoid long periods of time in water (e.g. long baths, swimming, washing up).
• Do not use your nails as tools (e.g. screwdriver) as this could lead to cracking.
• Never pick or peel the product off as this could damage your natural nail.
• Avoid filing your nails and pushing your cuticles back, as this will break the seal of the gel and can lead to chipping.

Avoid wearing make-up for at least 12 hours after a facial treatment. • Always cleanse, tone and moisturise your face. To prevent loss of moisture, protect the skin from make-up and to keep the skin soft and supple. • Always remove all traces of make-up at the end of the day. • Drink plenty of water (we recommend 6-8 glasses per day). • Eat a healthy, balanced diet – include at least five portions of fruit and vegetables. • Do not undertake any other facial skincare treatments within 48 hours of having a facial. • Avoid sunbathing for up to 12 hours. • Avoid direct heat, such as saunas, hot baths, showers or a hot hairdryer. • Do not apply perfume or perfumed products to treated area within 48 hours of having a facial. • Stay away from direct sunlight/sunbeds and heat e.g. saunas for 48 hours after having a facial. • Do not apply any other exfoliating skincare products for 72 hours after having a facial. • Always use an SPF sunscreen to block ultraviolet B rays. • Avoid smoking and alcohol.

• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours, as massage is a detoxifying treatment
• Drink plenty of water to assist in the elimination of toxins from the body
• Eat a light diet to assist the detoxification and healing process
