A spa facial features a lot of skin benefits. Some of these benefits include removing impurities, supporting your skin’s moisture barrier, facilitating new cell turnover, and generally boosting your skin’s health. Additionally, spa facials leave a covetable glow on you. The big question, however, is how can you maintain the glow? Here are some dos and don’ts that will lengthen your upcoming facial treatment effects.

Things to do after a spa facial

In most cases, the immediate effects of spa facials last within a week. Your skin, during such a time, feels and looks plump, radiant and hydrated. Everyone would love this to last forever but it does not. Below are some aftercare tips to lengthen the life of spa facial effects.

  1. Use Vitamin C serum

A facial gives you a fresh complexion, which may not last long if your face is exposed to environmental stressors. Some of these environmental stressors include; air pollution and extreme temperatures. They cause the occurrence of wrinkles and fine lines and contribute to dehydration and dullness. To make sure that your face is protected against these threats, add Vitamin C serum to your daily skincare routine. It is an ingredient that attacks damaging free radicals, brightens dull skin, alleviates wrinkles and promotes collagen production.

One of the secrets of lengthening the facial treatment benefits is remaining hydrated. Therefore, take a lot of water after a spa facial to flush out any toxins and to prevent dehydration. As a result, you will enjoy a glowing and healthy complexion for longer. 7 Tricks For Keeping Yourself Hydrated Every Day

  1. Exfoliate weekly

Exfoliation after a facial should happen after a week not immediately after the process. When you exfoliate your skin at home, you ensure that your skin remains smooth and soft. Moreover, you inhibit the accumulation of dead skin cells and oil that dulls up your complexion.

Things to avoid after a facial

Just like there are a number of things you can do after a facial, there are also things that you should not do after a facial. To prevent any potential damage, here are some post-facial pitfalls to avoid.

  1. Sunbathing

Skin protection from UV rays is always recommended daily, however, it is highly stressed after having a facial. The skin is usually very vulnerable to sun damage after the process. Therefore, if you are heading out after a facial, apply a moisturizer or sunscreen to alleviate any potential risk.

  1. Steam room

During a facial, your skin is usually exposed to lots of steam and therefore, visiting the steam room soon after the treatment can lead to broken capillaries and irritation. You should also keep off the gym to prevent increased sweat and heat that can cause severe irritation.

The Benefits Of Steaming And How To Do It At Home

  1. Waxing, laser hair removal and shaving

It might seem convenient to book a shave, wax or laser treatment along with a facial treatment. Nonetheless, even if this will save you time, you should consider spreading those appointments to avoid over-exfoliation and burns. Facials involve deep exfoliation and coupling this with hair removal can cause damage or discomfort.

Picking your skin or using retinol or at-home-peels are also unhealthy post-facial practices. Facials involve maximum skin exfoliation and therefore, you should only focus on protecting your skin, as opposed to causing any harm after the treatment. Practices these post-facial tips and feel the difference.
