Aftercare

•Use a simple skincare routine after your treatment for 7 days - cleanse, moisturise, targeted serum & SPF •Avoid any other skincare treatments for at least 48 hours. •Avoid any other exfoliative treatments or products for at least 7 days. •Avoid facial waxing, fillers or anti wrinkle treatments for at least 7 days. •Avoid makeup for 24 hours. •Avoid hot showers, baths, sauna, steam rooms and excessive exercise for at least 48 hours. •Avoid sunbed use for at least 7 days. Do not pick, rub or scratch treated area.

Aftercare is really crucial for the retention of the gel and the health of your nails. •For 24 hours after your appointment it is especially important that you follow aftercare advice. This is because the gel is sensitive and is still hardening. •Wearing gloves when cleaning, washing the pots, gardening or doing anything heavy handed will help prolong your manicure. •Applying cuticle oil daily is really important. If your nail plate becomes dry and brittle this can cause lifting of the gel and breaking of the nail plate. •Avoid submerging your nails in water for the first 24 hours (baths, hot tubs, washing up) or for long periods of time. •Wash your hands after coming into contact with sunscreen, chlorine or any lotions/creams that are not for hands. •Picking your gel off will take a layer of your nail with it. This leads to very thin and weak nails, and could even be painful by overexposing the nail bed. Please get your gel removed professionally.
