Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning for at least a week before your facial. Sunburned or overly tanned skin can be sensitive and more prone to irritation during a facial.

Skip Exfoliants: Avoid using harsh exfoliating products (like scrubs or chemical exfoliants) in the days leading up to your facial to prevent excessive sensitivity.

Arrive Makeup-Free: Arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup and moisturizers. This allows the esthetician to start the treatment without the need for extensive cleansing.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your facial to keep your skin well-hydrated. Hydrated skin responds better to treatments.

Communicate: During the consultation, clearly communicate your preferences and any concerns you have with the esthetician. They can adjust the treatment to make you more comfortable.

Avoid Certain Activities: Try to avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and steam rooms on the day of your facial, as these can open up your pores and make your skin more sensitive.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight immediately after a facial, as your skin may be more sensitive to UV rays. If you need to go outside, wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Skip Makeup: It’s best to avoid applying makeup for several hours after a facial to allow your skin to breathe and absorb the treatment’s benefits.

Avoid Excessive Heat: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for the remainder of the day to prevent excessive skin flushing.

Gentle Cleansing: When you do cleanse your face, use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser to avoid irritation.

Moisturize: Continue using a suitable moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and maintain the results of the facial.

Avoid Touching Your Face: Refrain from touching your face with unwashed hands to prevent introducing bacteria to your freshly treated skin.

Don’t Over-Exfoliate: Avoid using harsh exfoliants or scrubs for a few days after a facial to prevent overstimulation of your skin.

Avoid Picking or Squeezing: Resist the urge to pick at any blemishes or blackheads. Let your skin heal naturally.

Follow Recommendations: If your esthetician provided specific post-facial product recommendations, follow their advice to enhance the effects of the treatment.

Schedule Regular Facials: To maintain long-term benefits, consider scheduling regular facials as part of your skincare routine. The frequency can vary based on your skin type and concerns.

Be Patient: Results may not be immediately noticeable, and it can take a few days for your skin to fully benefit from the facial.
