Do's And Don'ts For Radiant Post-Facial Skin

A soothing skin facial is an excellent way to nourish and pamper your skin

Here are some do's and don'ts to take care of your skin post-facial to maximise its benefits

Use a gentle cleanser

Use a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type to cleanse your face. Opt for the one that doesn’t strip away the skin’s natural moisture

Moisturise your skin

Apply a moisturiser suited to your skin type to revive moisture. It can help soothe and protect your skin

Don't expose your skin

Avoid activities like heavy workouts or travelling by public transport that can cause excessive heat or sweat immediately after a facial, as heat can increase redness and sensitivity in your skin

Avoid waxing your facial hair

Avoid waxing your facial hair after a facial as it exfoliates your skin deeply. Waxing after it can expose skin to bacteria, making it sensitive

Go easy on makeup

Avoid applying an excessive amount of makeup after a facial as it can clog your pores and cause irritation which results in an outbreak of acne

Avoid using chemical peels

Avoid using chemical peels after a facial as it can result in skin burns, discomfort, and pigmentation
