Facials make you feel good, and they make your skin look amazing. Maintaining your post-facial glow requires the right skincare, as well as avoidance of practices that can reverse the work of your aesthetician. 

What Are Some Skincare Tips for After Facials?

1. Be Gentle With Cleansing

During your skin care regimen, gently wipe and rinse your face. Also, stick with foams or creams, which are easier on the skin. 

2. Choose a Kinder Sunscreen

Sun protection for your skin is crucial all year long. However, certain sunscreens are too harsh to be used after a facial, so look for a sunscreen with titanium oxide. 

3. Don’t Use a Heavy Foundation

Some redness is normal after a facial. If you’re tempted to cover it with a heavy foundation, think about the impact it will have on your freshly cleaned pores. Try to schedule your facial on a day where you don’t have any obligations. 

4. Keep Heat to a Minimum

Once your pores are open, excessive heat may cause irritation. Steer clear of steam rooms or intense workouts 24 to 48 hours following your skin treatment. 

5. Wait for Waxing

Your aesthetician should provide information on aftercare, including when you can have your face waxed again. For most people, the wait time is one week. Waxing before then could further irritate your already sensitive skin.
