FACIAL AFTERCARE

---

Here’s a simple guide for facial aftercare to ensure optimal results and skin health:

Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)  

1. Avoid touching your face to prevent introducing bacteria.  

2. Skip makeup for at least 24 hours to let your skin breathe.  

3. Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds to prevent irritation.  

4. Avoid hot showers or saunas as excessive heat or steam can irritate freshly treated skin.  

5. Avoid exfoliants, such as scrubs, chemical peels, or retinoids, that could irritate your skin.  

Cleansing and Moisturizing  

1. Use a gentle cleanser to cleanse your face after 24 hours.  

2. Hydrate your skin with a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep it hydrated and soothe any sensitivity.  

3. Avoid harsh products with alcohol, acids, or artificial fragrances for a few days.  

Hydration and Nutrition  

1. Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal and recover faster.  

2. Eat antioxidant-rich foods like berries, nuts, and leafy greens to promote skin healing.  

Ongoing Care  

1. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, even indoors, to protect your skin.  

2. Avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating, such as workouts, for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation or clogged pores.  

Addressing Sensitivity  

1. Use a cold compress to calm any redness or warmth in your skin.  

2. Avoid scratching or peeling, allowing your skin to heal naturally without interference.  

Follow-Up Treatments  

Stick to the schedule recommended by your esthetician or dermatologist for any subsequent treatments.
