✨ Post-Facial Aftercare Advice

Your ritual doesn’t end when you leave the treatment room — how you care for your skin afterwards helps to prolong and enhance your glow.

🌙 What To Do • Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water to support lymphatic drainage and keep your skin plump. • Protect your skin — apply SPF daily, even if the sun feels gentle. • Be gentle — use soft cleansers and nourishing moisturisers to maintain balance. • Relax — allow yourself time to rest, breathe, and enjoy the calm your treatment has created.

✨ What To Avoid (for 24–48 hours) • Direct sun exposure, heat treatments (sauna, steam, hot yoga). • Exfoliating products, retinol, or strong active ingredients. • Heavy makeup that may clog pores. • Intense workouts that cause excessive sweating.

🌿 Extend Your Ritual • Continue your glow at home with a simple routine of cleanse, hydrate, and protect. • If you have ice globes, gua sha, or other tools, use them gently to keep energy flowing. • Breathe deeply, slow down, and treat skincare as a daily ritual of self-care.

✨ Your skin is now receptive, renewed, and radiant — honour it with care. ✨

💆Massage aftercare

Your ritual has eased tension and restored balance. To prolong these effects, follow these simple aftercare tips:

🌙 What To Do • Hydrate well — drink water or herbal tea to help flush away toxins released during massage. • Rest + relax — allow yourself time to enjoy the calm and clarity. • Keep warm — your muscles may feel looser, so protect them from cold drafts. • Be mindful — you may feel deeply relaxed or light-headed; move slowly and gently.

✨ What To Avoid (for 24 hours) • Caffeine, alcohol, or heavy meals — these can interrupt the body’s rebalancing. • Intense exercise or strenuous activity. • Hair washing immediately after (if oils were used), to allow nutrients to absorb.

Hot Stone-Specific Considerations

  1. Extra hydration – Hot stones increase blood flow and body temperature, so your body loses more fluids through sweat. Drinking extra water is especially important.
  2. Cool-down period – Avoid very cold showers or jumping into cold pools immediately after, as sudden temperature shifts can shock your muscles and skin.
  3. Watch skin sensitivity – The heat can leave your skin a little red or sensitive; avoid harsh scrubs, hot tubs, or saunas for the rest of the day.
  4. Monitor soreness – Hot stone massage can penetrate deeper into tight muscles; some soreness may appear within 24 hours. Light stretching or a warm shower can help.

Optional Enhancements

  • Warm shower instead of a hot one can help soothe any lingering sensitivity.
  • Epsom salt bath later in the day can relieve muscle soreness, but don’t soak immediately if your skin feels overly flushed.

Rare, but important:

  • Skin itching, redness, or headache
  • Nausea or dizziness These can occur hours later if the body is sensitive or detoxifying.

If that happens:

  • Gently wash oils off with a mild cleanser
  • Hydrate
  • Rest

🌿 Extend Your Ritual • Take slow breaths, and notice how light + clear your head feels. • A warm bath or herbal tea can deepen the sense of calm. • Return regularly for treatments to maintain balance + wellbeing.

✨ Honour the stillness you’ve created. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you. ✨

Lash Lift Aftercare

Thank you for choosing The Skin Alchemist for your lash lift treatment.

To achieve the best possible results and prolong the life of your lift, please follow the aftercare advice below.

The First 24 Hours

For the first 24 hours after your treatment, please avoid:

  • Getting your lashes wet
  • Steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, and excessive heat
  • Swimming
  • Eye makeup and mascara
  • Oil-based products around the eye area
  • Rubbing, pulling, or touching your lashes unnecessarily
  • Sleeping face down where possible

During this time, your lashes are still settling into their new shape, so it is important to keep them as undisturbed as possible.

After 24 Hours

Once the initial setting period has passed, you can resume your normal routine. To keep your lashes looking their best:

  • Cleanse your lashes gently and regularly
  • Brush them daily with a clean spoolie brush
  • Use a nourishing lash serum if recommended
  • Avoid excessive rubbing when removing eye makeup
  • Avoid mechanical eyelash curlers, as these can weaken and damage the lashes

How Long Will My Lash Lift Last?

Results typically last between 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle, lifestyle, and aftercare routine.

Important Information

Every client’s lashes are unique, and results may vary. Following the recommended aftercare will help maintain the lift, condition, and overall appearance of your lashes for as long as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns following your treatment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

DERMAPLANING AFTERCARE

Immediate Post-Treatment (First 24 Hours)

  1. Avoid touching your face – Skin is sensitive and can easily pick up bacteria.
  2. Skip makeup – Especially foundation or powders for the first 24 hours.
  3. Gentle cleansing only – Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid scrubs or exfoliants.
  4. Hydrate and soothe – Apply a gentle moisturizer or a hyaluronic acid serum.

Days 1–3

  • Avoid strong actives – No retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliating products.
  • Sun protection is crucial – Skin is more prone to UV damage. Use SPF 30+ daily, even indoors.
  • Avoid heat and sweat – Skip saunas, hot showers, and intense workouts that make you sweat heavily.

Days 3–7

  • Skin may peel slightly or feel dry; keep it moisturized.
  • You can slowly reintroduce gentle actives, but skip strong exfoliants for at least a week.
  • Avoid picking or scrubbing at flakes to prevent irritation or microtears.

Extra Tips

  • No facials or other procedures for a week after dermaplaning.
  • Avoid swimming pools and hot tubs for 48 hours.
  • Stay hydrated – internal hydration helps the skin recover faster.
  • Be gentle – avoid harsh cleansers, scrubs, or abrasive cloths.

Signs that require medical advice

  • Prolonged redness or sensitivity beyond 2–3 days
  • Breakouts or irritation that worsen instead of improve
  • Signs of infection like pus or severe swelling
