Post-Facial Care: How to Maintain Your Glow
1. Immediately After Your Facial
1.1 Avoid Touching Your Face
- Refrain from touching your face to prevent introducing bacteria to the freshly treated skin.
1.2 Skip Makeup
- Avoid applying makeup for the rest of the day to allow your skin to breathe and absorb the facial products.
1.3 Stay Out of the Sun
- Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning for at least 24 hours. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ if you need to be outdoors.
1.4 Hydrate Your Skin
- Apply a gentle moisturizer like our Sugar Sugar™ Hello Hydration Cream to keep your skin hydrated and soothe any post-treatment sensitivity.
2. 24-48 Hours After Your Facial
2.1 Gentle Cleansing
- Use a mild cleanser to wash your face, avoiding any harsh or exfoliating products.
2.2 Avoid Heat
- Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, or steam rooms as excessive heat can irritate freshly treated skin.
2.3 No Exfoliation
- Do not use exfoliating products for at least 48 hours post-facial to avoid over-exfoliating your skin.
2.4 Limit Physical Activity
- Avoid intense physical activity that causes sweating, which can irritate treated skin.
3. Up to One Week After Your Facial
3.1 Continue Sun Protection
- Apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV rays, even if you are indoors or it's cloudy.
3.2 Hydrate Regularly
- Maintain a consistent skincare routine with hydrating and soothing products. Continue using our recommended Sugar Sugar™ moisturizers and serums for best results.
3.3 Avoid Aggressive Treatments
- Refrain from additional aggressive skin treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion for at least one week post-facial.
3.4 Use Gentle Products
- Stick to gentle skincare products that support the healing and hydration of your skin. Avoid products with alcohol, fragrances, or strong actives that can cause irritation.
4. Ongoing Skincare Routine
4.1 Follow a Routine
- Develop a daily skincare regimen that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. Use products that are suitable for your skin type and address your specific skin concerns.
4.2 Stay Hydrated
- Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet to support healthy skin from the inside out.
4.3 Schedule Regular Facials
- Book regular organic facials every 4-6 weeks to maintain the benefits and keep your skin looking its best.
