What to Do (and Avoid) After Your Facial: At-Home Aftercare Guide
The facial itself is only half the equation — what you do in the 48 hours after actually determines how long that glow sticks around.
The First 24 Hours
Skip makeup if you can, avoid touching your face unnecessarily, and steer clear of intense workouts that'll have you sweating right after extractions. Your skin is more open and reactive than usual right now.
SPF Is Non-Negotiable
If your facial included any exfoliation, dermaplaning, or a peel, your skin is more sun-sensitive than normal. Especially here in Florida, skipping SPF the next few days undoes a real chunk of your results.
Don't Introduce New Products Right Away
This is not the week to try that new retinol serum you saw on TikTok. Let your skin sit with what it just went through before adding variables.
Hydrate From the Inside Too
Drinking water genuinely supports how your skin holds onto the hydration from your treatment. It's not a myth — it's just basic physiology.
When to Reach Out to Me
If something looks unusual beyond mild redness or a couple of days of purging, text me. I'd always rather you ask than worry.
Keep the Glow Going
A good facial gets you the reset — good aftercare is what makes it last. If you're not sure what your skin specifically needs post-treatment, ask me at your next visit.
