Following your professional facial, your skin may experience:

• A healthy glow: Your skin may appear brighter, smoother and more hydrated immediately following treatment.

• Mild redness: Temporary redness or warmth may occur, particularly following exfoliation, extractions or massage. This usually settles within a few hours.

• Temporary sensitivity: Your skin may feel slightly more sensitive than usual, particularly if exfoliating products were used.

• Minor blemishes: If extractions were performed, you may notice some temporary redness or small marks around the treated areas.

• Improved hydration: Your skin may feel softer, smoother and more comfortable following treatment.

Most clients can return to their usual daily activities immediately after a standard facial.

Please note: Every facial is tailored to your individual skin needs, so your skin’s response may vary depending on the products and techniques used.

To maintain your results and keep your skin comfortable following your facial:

• Cleanse gently using a suitable, non-irritating cleanser.

• Use lukewarm water rather than very hot water.

• Pat your skin dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing.

• Keep your skin hydrated using a moisturiser suitable for your skin type.

• Avoid unnecessary touching, rubbing or picking at your skin, particularly if extractions were performed.

• Maintain a consistent skincare routine using products recommended for your individual skin needs.

• Protect your skin from sun exposure and environmental irritation.

Recommended Skincare Products

Following your facial, I will provide you with carefully selected Dermalogica skincare samples to support your skin at home.

These products are chosen based on your individual skin needs and the treatment performed.

Please use them as recommended during your appointment, following the application order and timings discussed.

If you’re unsure how to use your products or have forgotten the correct order of application, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’ll be happy to guide you through your skincare routine.

Following your professional facial, there are a few things I recommend avoiding to minimise irritation and maintain your results.

• Excessive heat: Avoid saunas, steam rooms and very hot baths for approximately 24 hours, particularly if your skin is sensitive.

• Strenuous exercise: If your skin is red or sensitive, avoid intense exercise and excessive sweating for the remainder of the day.

• Exfoliation: Avoid facial scrubs, exfoliating acids and retinoids for approximately 24–48 hours, or longer if advised during your appointment.

• Picking or squeezing: Avoid touching, picking or squeezing blemishes, particularly following extractions.

• Sun exposure: Avoid excessive direct sunlight and sunbeds, particularly following exfoliation.

• New skincare products: Avoid introducing strong or unfamiliar active ingredients immediately after treatment.

• Makeup: If your skin is sensitive or extractions have been performed, allow your skin to settle before applying makeup, ideally until the following day.

These recommendations may vary depending on the facial performed and the condition of your skin.

Always follow any additional advice provided during your appointment.

Maintaining hydration and protecting your skin from the sun are important for keeping your skin healthy and supporting your facial results.

Hydration

• Use a moisturiser suited to your skin type and concerns.

• Continue using your recommended Dermalogica skincare products as directed.

• Avoid over-exfoliating or using harsh products that may compromise your skin barrier.

• Maintain a gentle, consistent skincare routine between appointments.

Sun Protection

• Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 daily, even on cloudy days.

• Reapply sunscreen when outdoors, particularly after sweating.

• Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure, especially if exfoliation was included in your treatment.

• Consider wearing a hat and seeking shade during periods of strong sunlight.

Consistent daily skincare and sun protection will help maintain your results and support your skin’s long-term health.

Mild redness or temporary sensitivity can be normal following a professional facial, particularly if exfoliation or extractions were performed.

However, please contact me if you experience:

• Redness or irritation that becomes increasingly uncomfortable rather than settling.

• Persistent burning, itching or unusual sensitivity.

• Unexpected swelling, blistering or a rash.

• A reaction to any skincare products used or recommended.

• Any concerns about how your skin is responding following treatment.

If you experience severe swelling, difficulty breathing or other signs of a serious allergic reaction, seek emergency medical assistance.

If you’re unsure whether your skin’s response is normal, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Regular professional facials can help maintain skin hydration, improve the appearance of skin texture and support a healthy skincare routine.

The ideal treatment frequency will depend on your individual skin type, concerns and skincare goals.

• Every 4–6 weeks: Many clients benefit from regular facials to maintain their skin’s condition and address ongoing concerns.

• Occasional treatments: Facials can also be enjoyed as a refreshing skin treatment before a special occasion or whenever your skin needs some additional care.

• Personalised treatment plans: If you’re working towards specific skin goals, I may recommend a combination of professional facials and suitable home skincare products.

I will advise you on the most appropriate treatment frequency based on your skin’s needs.
