π‘ Why You Should Avoid Makeup After an Aesthetic Treatment
After treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, or injectables, your skin barrier is temporarily more sensitive and vulnerable. Applying makeup too soon can:
β’ Introduce bacteria, increasing the risk of infection π¦
β’ Clog open pores and delay the healing process β³
β’ Cause irritation or inflammation to freshly treated skin π₯
Itβs best to wait at least 24β48 hours (or as advised by your practitioner) before applying makeup. During this time, focus on gentle cleansing, hydration, and SPF protection to support optimal recovery and results. π§βοΈ
