Spa Days With Vai: What To Do After A Facial

“You’ve just had a great facial and you’re loving that post-facial glow but— now what? Read on to learn what you should be doing after a facial treatment!

2.) Follow Your Esthetician’s Advice: Your esthetician likely gave you some home-care instructions after your facial— it’s in your skin’s best interest to follow up on those instructions! Not having a good home care routine for your skin is like seeing a routine for your skin is like seeing a trainer at the gym once a month, not working out at home, and still expecting results. You and your esthetician need to work together to achieve your skincare goals.

4.) Be Gentle: Your skin may be on the sensitive side after a facial so be sure to use hydrating products and avoid drying or alcohol-based products. Avoid any exfoliating or acid products at home for a few days as your esthetician likely exfoliated your skin already. And most importantly, wear a sunscreen and don’t forget to reapply! UV rays cause skin irreversible damage and will undo any progress made towards hyperpigmentation, acne, fine-lines, and wrinkles. So protect your skin and wear SPF every single day.

Following these tips will help you make the most out of your facial and help you reap the benefits as long as possible. Remember that having great skin doesn’t end in the treatment room and that having a great homecare routine is half the battle.
