Consultation

Discuss your skin type, allergies, and medical history with your skincare professional. Avoid treatments if you have active infections, open wounds, or severe skin conditions.

Avoid sun exposure

Limit sun exposure for at least 1 week before your facial. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin.

Stop certain products

Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliants (like AHAs/BHAs), and harsh acne medications 3–5 days before treatment, unless advised otherwise by your provider.

Hydrate your skin

Keep your skin moisturised and well-hydrated in the days leading up to your facial.

Avoid waxing or hair removal

Don’t wax, use depilatories, or do any hair removal treatments on the face 3–5 days prior.

Sun protection

Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after your facial. Use a high SPF (30 or above), broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Wear a wide-brimmed hat if outdoors.

Gentle skincare

Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturisers. Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and harsh treatments for at least 5–7 days or as directed.

Avoid makeup for 24 hours

Give your skin time to breathe and recover before applying makeup again.

Don’t pick or scratch

You may experience redness, peeling, or mild flaking — avoid picking at your skin to prevent scarring or infection.

Stay hydrated

Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal and maintain moisture.

Avoid heat and sweating

Skip saunas, hot tubs, vigorous exercise, and heavy sweating for 48 hours post-treatment.

Follow your provider’s instructions

Use any recommended serums, creams, or medications as prescribed. Schedule any follow-up appointments as advised.
