I just had another facial, and this time it was more intense than usual.

My skin was left a bit more sensitive, and during my chat with the facialist, I found out I've been doing a few things wrong in my aftercare routine. So, I thought I'd share some helpful tips with you!

✨ 1. Patience Is Everything!

Seriously, healing takes time. Rushing the process will only make things worse, so take it easy and let your skin repair at its own pace.

🚫 2. Hands Off The Scabs!

Whatever you do, don't pick at the scabs or blemishes. I learned this the hard way—one little pick turned into a bigger problem and delayed my recovery. Let them fall off naturally to avoid scars or infections.

❌ 3. Skip Harsh Actives

After a facial, your skin has already been exfoliated. Adding active ingredients like retinol, peels, or salicylic acid can overdo it and cause irritation or even damage. Give your skin a break for a few days!

🧼 4. Use Gentle Cleansers

Opt for a mild cleanser to clean your skin without stripping it. Post-facial skin is delicate and needs products that support the healing barrier.

🧖‍♀️ 5. Don't Skip Double Cleansing

Double cleansing helps remove buildup and preps your skin to absorb the rest of your skincare better. It keeps your skin fresh and radiant without being too harsh.

🌿 6. Apply A Soothing Sheet Mask

A calming, hydrating mask can do wonders after a long day. It helps soothe inflammation and allows key ingredients to sink deeper into the skin.

Take these tips with you to your next facial session and give your skin the love it deserves. A little care goes a long way to achieve that glowing, healthy finish! 🌟💆‍♀️
