Following your facial treatment, it is essential to follow the aftercare advice below to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects.

IMMEDIATE POST-TREATMENT CARE

• Do Not Touch the Treated Area – Your skin may be sensitive after a facial. Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at your skin to prevent irritation or infection.

• Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins and improves overall skin health.

SKINCARE AFTER YOUR FACIAL

• Gentle Cleansing – Use a mild, non-stripping cleanser for the first few days post-treatment. Avoid harsh active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide unless advised by your practitioner.

• Moisturise – Apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated.

• Sun Protection – Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher when going outside, even on cloudy days.

• Avoid Exfoliation – Refrain from using any form of exfoliation (scrubs, acids, or retinoids) for at least one week unless advised otherwise by your skincare professional.

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS

• Avoid Heat – Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers for at least 48 hours to prevent additional irritation and sensitivity.

• Limit Intense Physical Exercise – Sweating may irritate the skin, so it is best to avoid heavy workouts for 24-48 hours.

• Dietary Considerations – A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can support skin healing. Limit sugary foods and drinks to help prevent breakouts.

• No Makeup – Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours post-facial to allow your skin to breathe and fully absorb the benefits of the treatment.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

• Redness & Sensitivity – Mild redness and sensitivity are common after a facial but should subside within 24-48 hours.

• Breakouts – Some individuals may experience minor breakouts as the skin detoxifies. This is temporary and should clear up naturally.

NEXT STEPS

• Follow-Up Appointments – Your skincare professional may recommend a follow-up session to assess your skin’s response and discuss future treatments.

• Home Care Routine – A tailored at-home skincare regimen may be recommended to extend and enhance the benefits of your facial.
