What to Expect After a Professional Facial: Do’s & Don’ts

There’s nothing quite like the radiant glow you feel after a professional facial—your skin feels rejuvenated, hydrated and deeply cared for. But what happens after you leave the treatment room is just as important as the facial itself.

At Crystal Clear Skin, every treatment is carefully customised to your skin’s unique needs. Whether you’ve indulged in one of our Customised Facials, experienced LED Therapy, or Dermal Needling, aftercare is essential for long-lasting results.

Here’s everything you need to know about post-facial care—what to expect, what to avoid, and how to keep that glow going strong.

 

What to Expect After Your Facial

Depending on your chosen facial, you might experience:

• Softness and hydration: Your skin may feel smooth, plump, and deeply nourished.

• Mild redness: After a treatment, some pinkness is considered completely normal and typically settles within a few hours.

• Clarity and brightness: Our facials work on deep congestion, dullness, and dehydration—expect your skin to look more even and radiant in the days following.

 

✅ Post-Facial Do’s

1. Keep your skin hydrated

Support your results by drinking water and using a gentle, hydrating moisturiser. This is especially important to maintain moisture balance.

2. Use gentle skincare

Avoid introducing any new actives for a few days post-treatment. Our skin therapists will recommend suitable post-care products based on your facial.

3. Protect your skin with SPF

After some treatments, your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight. Daily application of SPF (we recommend Aspect Sun) is non-negotiable.

4. Let your skin rest

No makeup for at least 24 hours is ideal. Let your skin breathe and soak in the benefits of your treatment.

 

❌ Post-Facial Don’ts

1. Avoid heavy workouts and saunas

Heat and sweat can irritate freshly treated skin, especially following peels or detoxifying treatments.

2. Skip exfoliation for a few days

After a facial, your skin is already in a mild exfoliated state. Avoid harsh scrubs or active ingredients (like retinol or AHAs) for 3–5 days.

3. Don’t touch or pick at your skin

Even if extractions were performed, resist the urge to touch or squeeze any remaining congestion. This helps prevent scarring and further irritation.
