The Aftercare

Facials

A slow, simple guide for before and after your facial, to help your skin stay calm and balanced.

Before

Before your visit

A little preparation lets us customize your treatment safely and get the best results.

Step 01
7 days before
- Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds to reduce the risk of skin damage.
Step 02
3–5 days before
- Pause active ingredients such as retinol, tretinoin and exfoliating acids.
- Pause all exfoliation, including AHAs, BHAs and scrubs.
Why this matters: your facial may include a customized professional exfoliation. We can’t safely perform it if your skin is already sensitized.
Step 03
48 hours before
- Avoid facial waxing.
- Drink plenty of water — well-hydrated skin responds better to treatment.
Step 04
Day of your appointment
- Arrive with a clean face or minimal makeup.

After

Your skin is more sensitive for the first few days. These steps protect your skin and your results.

Wear SPF 30 or higher every day (SPF 50 preferred) to protect freshly treated skin.
Skip makeup for at least 6–8 hours, ideally until the next morning, so your skin can breathe and pores stay clear.
Use a gentle cleanser and soothing serums to calm and hydrate.
Skip saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms and intense workouts. Heat can increase inflammation.
Let your skin settle naturally. Avoid scrubs and exfoliating devices.
Wait before another facial or laser treatment, or follow your provider’s recommendation.
Fresh pillowcases, clean towels and a wiped-down phone screen help prevent bacteria transfer.
Avoid all facial waxing while your skin recovers.
