After a facial, avoid direct sun, heat treatments (like saunas), and strenuous workouts for 24-48 hours due to increased skin sensitivity. Do not undergo other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or exfoliation, for at least 72 hours to allow the skin to heal. Keep your skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect it from sun damage. Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours) Avoid direct sun and heat: Stay out of the sun, and avoid sunbeds, saunas, hot baths, and steamy showers. Skip makeup and other treatments: Avoid wearing makeup if possible, and do not undergo other facial treatments. Gently cleanse: If you must wash your face, use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Short-Term Aftercare (First 48-72 Hours) Wear sunscreen: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Avoid exfoliation: Do not use any exfoliating skincare products, scrubs, or mechanical exfoliators. Minimize sweating: Avoid vigorous workouts and activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours. Skip harsh ingredients: Avoid using 'active' skincare products containing ingredients like retinol or acids for a few days. Long-Term Care Maintain hydration: Continue to use a good moisturizer twice daily to keep your skin soft and supple. Practice good hygiene: Sleep on a clean pillowcase to prevent introducing bacteria to your freshly treated skin. Protect your skin: Use an SPF 30 or higher product daily. What to Avoid Touching your face: Refrain from touching your face unnecessarily to avoid introducing bacteria. Swimming: Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools for at least a week. Alcohol and smoking: Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking, as they can dehydrate the skin and interfere with the healing process.
For effective lash and brow aftercare, avoid getting the area wet and exposed to steam, heat, or humidity for at least 24-48 hours after treatment to allow the results to set. Keep the area dry, gentle, and avoid makeup or touching the area for at least 24 hours. Use specialized conditioning serums or oils to nourish, hydrate, and protect lashes and brows, and avoid oil-based products, harsh skincare, and excessive sunlight to prolong the treatment's life. Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours) Keep it Dry: Do not get your lashes or brows wet, and avoid steam from showers, saunas, and swimming pools for at least 24-48 hours. Avoid Heat & Humidity: Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, and intense heat for 24-48 hours. No Touching: Do not rub, touch, or pick at your lashes or brows to avoid disrupting their hold or shape. Skip Makeup: Avoid applying any makeup, especially mascara and eyeliner, to the treated area for the first 24-48 hours. Gentle Cleansing: When you wash your face, be gentle around the eye area and pat your lashes and brows dry. Long-Term Aftercare Use Aftercare Products: Apply specialized conditioning serums or gels designed for lashes and brows to nourish and hydrate the hairs. Avoid Oil-Based Products: Oily skincare products can break down the tint and lamination, so opt for oil-free alternatives. Protect from Sun: Wear sunglasses when outdoors to protect your lashes and brows from direct sunlight, which can fade results. Be Gentle: Continue to be gentle when cleansing and styling your lashes and brows. Give Them a Break: Consider taking breaks from treatments to avoid over-processing the hairs. What to Do if Results Don't Last If your results don't last as long as expected, it may be due to skipped aftercare. Consult your technician to reassess your routine and find what works best for your lifestyle.
After a massage, focus on hydration by drinking plenty of water to help flush out toxins and prevent soreness. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 12-24 hours because they are dehydrating and can counteract the benefits of the massage. Prioritize rest and relaxation, and avoid strenuous physical activity, heavy lifting, or intense exercise for at least 24 hours to allow your body to recover and absorb the therapeutic effects.
Hydrate
Drink water: Drink plenty of water to help flush out metabolic waste and toxins released during the massage.
Consider water-rich foods: Include foods like cucumber or melon in your diet to aid hydration.
Rest and Relax
Prioritize rest:
Take time to rest and relax, as you may feel tired or sleepy after a massage.
Avoid strenuous activity:
Do not engage in intense workouts, heavy lifting, or strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours to allow your muscles to recover properly.
Dietary Considerations
Eat light meals: Opt for a light, healthy diet instead of fatty meals, which can detract from the healing process.
What to Avoid
Alcohol and caffeine: For at least 12-24 hours after your massage, avoid alcohol and caffeine.
Intense heat: For 12 hours, avoid sunbeds, saunas, and steam rooms, as the heat can interfere with the body's ability to recover and eliminate toxins.
Heavy exertion: Heavy lifting and intense physical activity can delay the efficacy of the massage.
Optional Comfort Measures
Warm bath:
A warm bath, perhaps with Epsom salts, can help relax muscles and promote circulation.
Heat or cold therapy:
Apply a warm or cool compress to any tender areas, depending on your personal preference.
