Here’s a detailed aftercare guide to help maximize the benefits of your facial and protect your skin as it heals: 1. •Avoid Touching Your Face: Your skin is freshly exfoliated and may be more susceptible to bacteria. •Use Gentle Skincare Products: Stick to a mild, hydrating cleanser and gentle moisturizer. •Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. 2. Avoid Heat and Sweating •No Steam or Hot Showers: Avoid hot water and steam (like saunas or hot showers) for 24–48 hours to prevent irritation. •Limit Sun Exposure: Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Stay out of direct sunlight and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily. 3. Skip Makeup for 24 Hours •Allow your skin time to breathe and absorb the products applied during the facial. 4. Avoid Active Ingredients •Avoid products with retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and other exfoliating acids for at least 48 hours, as these can further irritate the skin. 5. Be Mindful of Physical Activity •If you work out, try to keep sweat off your face to avoid bacteria and irritation on freshly treated skin.
