What Not to Do After a Facial: 5 Tips to Protect Your GlowYour Post-Facial Aftercare Guide

Why After Care Matters

You just treated your skin to some much-needed love, now let’s make sure your results last. After a facial, your skin is more sensitive and receptive, which means it's also more vulnerable. What you do (or don’t do) in the next 48 hours is key to keeping your glow.

5 Things to Avoid After A Facial

1. Don’t touch your face - Your skin is clean and refreshed; keep your hands off to prevent irritation or introducing bacteria.

2. Skip the makeup - Let your skin breathe for at least 24 hours. Foundation, concealers, and powders can clog freshly exfoliated pores.

3. Avoid sweating and working out - Sweat can introduce bacteria and cause inflammation or breakouts, especially right after extractions.

4. No sun exposure or tanning - Your skin is more photosensitive after a facial. Protect it by avoiding direct sun and always wearing SPF.

5. Pause on exfoliants and actives - Give your skin a break from retinols, acids, or scrubs for 2–3 days to avoid over-processing.
