A facial can leave your skin glowing, but proper aftercare is essential to maintain the results. Here is what to do — and what to avoid — after a facial.
Do
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins.
- Use gentle products: Stick to mild cleansers and moisturisers for a few days.
- Apply sunscreen: Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun after a facial.
- Keep it simple: Let your skin rest and avoid adding new products for 24-48 hours.
Dont
- Dont touch your face: Your hands carry bacteria that can cause breakouts.
- Dont exfoliate: Avoid scrubs and exfoliants for at least 3-5 days after a facial.
- Dont use heavy makeup: If possible, avoid makeup for 24 hours to let your skin breathe.
- Dont use saunas or steam: Avoid excessive heat and sweating for 24 hours.
- Dont wax or thread: Wait at least 48 hours before any hair removal on the face.
