Just enjoyed Indulgence Beauty Centre’s fantastic facial services and want to keep that post-facial glow going?

Facials do more than just remove dead skin cells—they leave your skin refreshed, hydrated, and rejuvenated. But the real challenge starts as soon as you leave the salon. 

Don’t let that good facial go to waste! With the right facial aftercare, you can extend those luxurious results and keep your skin looking luminous longer. 

Let’s get into some expert facial aftercare tips that will lock in that fresh-from-the-spa glow and maintain that healthy skin!

The Immediate Aftercare: First 24 Hours

Avoid Makeup

Do you wear makeup regularly? You might need to hold off for a while.

After a facial treatment, your skin is in recovery mode as it’s been deeply deeply cleansed, exfoliated, and treated. 

Applying makeup immediately can clog pores again and lead to post-facial breakouts. Give your skin at least 24 hours to rejuvenate before wearing any makeup. 

Sun Exposure

You may have skin sensitivity more than usual to UV rays post-facial. 

Avoid direct sunlight for the first day, and when you do step out, ensure you apply a non-comedogenic broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from those harmful rays.

Hands Off

Touching your face can transfer P Acne bacteria, oils, and dirt from your hands, potentially leading to post-facial breakouts or irritation. 

While your pores are still dilated and your skin is in a delicate state, even a small amount of bacteria can cause unwanted blemishes.

Day-to-Day Aftercare

Cleansing

Your skin has been thoroughly cleansed during the facial, so there’s no need for anything harsh. 

Opt for a hydrating, gentle cleanser that respects your skin barrier without stripping away those natural protective oils to ensure your skin stays calm and balanced.

Avoid products with harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances – they can irritate your skin, especially after a facial. 

Moisturising

Hydration is your skin’s best friend for maintaining the benefits of your facial. 

Use a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser that matches your skin type to lock in moisture, ensuring your skin stays plump and dewy. 

The right moisturiser will not only hydrate but also protect your skin from environmental stresses!

Hydration

Hydrating your skin isn’t just about what you apply externally; internal hydration plays a pivotal role too.

Drinking enough water daily helps maintain your skin’s moisture balance and enhances its elasticity. When your body is well-hydrated, your skin can sustain the dewy, radiant look achieved from your facial!

Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily for optimal skin health benefits.

Skincare Tips to Maintain Your Post-Facial Glow 

Add facials to your regular beauty regimen

To keep your skin in optimal condition, make facials a regular part of your skincare routine. 

Professional facial treatments every four to six weeks can help address skin concerns and keep your skin healthy.

Build a consistent routine

Stick to a solid skincare routine tailored to your skin type.

Regular cleansing, toning, and moisturising can prolong the effects of your facial and keep your skin looking its best.

Keep a healthy diet and lifestyle

A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids helps nourish your skin from the inside out.

Additionally, staying active, managing stress through meditation or yoga, and getting enough sleep also reflect positively on your skin.

Steer clear of these products after your facial 

Retinols

While retinol is a fantastic anti-ageing ingredient, using it right after a facial can cause redness and peeling. 

Pause retinol-based products for at least a few days to give your skin time to heal.

Strong Acids

Refrain from using products with potent acids like glycolic and salicylic as they can strip away essential oils and irritate the skin.

Exfoliating Agents

Avoid both physical and enzymatic exfoliants that could aggravate your freshly exfoliated skin.

Your skin has already been exfoliated during the treatment, and additional scrubbing can damage your skin’s protective barrier and lead to sensitivity.
