You’ve just invested in your skin’s health and radiance with a professional facial at My Skin Medics. Your face feels clean, refreshed and positively glowing. But maintaining that post-facial bliss requires a little TLC. To ensure you don’t undo all that hard work, here are five crucial things to avoid after your facial treatment.

Why Post-Facial Care Matters
A facial, whether it’s a deep cleansing, hydrating, or exfoliating treatment, leaves your skin in a delicate state. Pores are open, skin is more sensitive and the natural barrier might be temporarily compromised. Proper aftercare is essential for maximising the benefits and preventing irritation or breakouts.

5 Things to Steer Clear Of:

• 1 . Direct Sun Exposure and Tanning:
• Your skin is highly susceptible to UV damage post-facial. Avoid direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours.
• Skip the tanning beds and self-tanners for a few days.
• Wear a high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen. SPF 30 or higher is recommended.
• 2. Heavy Makeup and Irritating Products:
• Give your skin a break! Avoid heavy foundations, concealers and highly fragranced products for at least 24 hours.
• Opt for gentle, mineral-based makeup if necessary.
• Focus on products that contain Hyaluronic acid, or ceramides to help restore the skin barrier.
• 3. Intense Exercise and Excessive Sweating:
• Sweat can irritate freshly treated skin and clog pores.
• Avoid strenuous workouts and hot environments for at least 24 hours.
• 4. Picking and Touching Your Face:
• Resist the urge to touch or pick at your skin, even if you notice a few minor blemishes.
• Your hands carry bacteria that can lead to infection.
• 5. Harsh Exfoliation and Chemical Treatments:
• Your skin has already been exfoliated during the facial. Avoid using scrubs, retinoids, or other chemical exfoliants for at least a week.
• Allow your skin time to recover and heal.
