Tips: Before and After Your Facial
To get the best results from your facial visits here are some general do's and don'ts:
DO's:
Drink lots of water days leading up to and after your facial for better extractions and for a dewy, hydrated complexion.
Fill out your intake form so we know what we're dealing with. (You only need to do this once if you haven't filled it out yet.)
Be gentle with your face the next three days, focusing on supporting skincare like hydrators and moisturizers -and no excuses- SPF is a must.
DON'Ts:
No excessive, direct sunlight 3 days before or after.
Please no topical prescriptions, AHA's, BHA's, retinoids, do any tanning, micro-needling, laser, dermaplaning 3 days before or after your facial.
Please no saunas, steam rooms or workouts after your facial, especially if you got a PEEL.
Note on Purging:
If you happen to purge after a facial, that can be normal, especially if we did a peel. We are bringing debris from deep within the pore up to the surface to be detoxed. In some cases, if you had hard/deep congestion that we weren't able to fully extract, those will be coming up and out over the next few days, please don't worry, those were going to come up eventually, we just sped up the process. Please don't pick at it, let it heal on its own and use spot/area treatments until it's fully out. To prevent on-going purging at-home or in-treatment, you need to be regularly exfoliating (depends on skin type). If you're not currently on a regimen, I can update or create one at your next visit.
