Post-Facial Skincare Tips: Keep That Glow Going! ✨

FacialsDesiree HymanComment

Hey, you just treated yourself to a facial—go you! 🙌🏽 Now that your skin’s had a little TLC, you want to make sure you keep that glow going strong. Here’s a rundown of simple post-facial skincare tips to help you get the most out of your treatment and keep your skin looking fresh, happy, and hydrated. 🌟

1. Hands Off! 🚫✋🏽

As tempting as it might be to touch your super-soft skin, try to avoid it. After a facial, your pores are open and more sensitive, so it’s best to keep your hands off to avoid introducing any dirt or bacteria.

2. Skip the Makeup for a Day 💄

After a facial, your skin is primed to absorb all the good stuff from your products. Give it a little breather and go makeup-free for the rest of the day. This lets your skin soak up the benefits of your treatment and prevents any potential clogging. Check out our recommended skincare products for fresh, clean skin.

3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate 💦

Drink up, my friend! Water helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin hydrated from within. Plus, keeping your skin moisturized post-facial helps maintain that dewy, plump look.

4. Avoid Heavy Exfoliation 🧽

Your facial probably included some form of exfoliation, so give your skin a few days to recover before using any scrubs or exfoliating acids at home. Let your skin chill and heal to keep it looking balanced and refreshed.

5. Use Gentle Products 🧴

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid harsh ingredients like retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs. Stick to calming, hydrating products to support your skin’s recovery and reduce any post-facial redness. Find our favorite gentle skincare products here.

6. Protect Your Skin with SPF ☀️

Your skin is extra sensitive after a facial, so SPF is a must! Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage, especially if your facial included any kind of exfoliation. The sun can make post-facial skin more prone to pigmentation, so slather on that SPF every day. Shop our top SPF picks.

7. Give Your Skin Time to Settle 🧘🏽

Facials work magic over time, so give your skin a few days to adjust before expecting to see the full results. Whether you’re dealing with purging or just waiting for the glow to fully kick in, trust the process and enjoy the journey to brighter skin! Read more about how to handle post-facial purging here.
