Optimal FACIAL PRE & POST CARE

---

Prep your skin and avoid the following:

• Avoid exfoliating creams 2- 5 days prior to your facial (Retinols, AHA's, etc...)
• No tanning a few days prior (no sunburns)
• No botox, filler or other facial treatments or tattooing 2 weeks prior to your facial
• If waxing, tinting, lash extensions - ensure waiting 24 hours either side

Your skin is freshly cleansed, exfoliated and renewed. Slightly more sensitized, we suggest the following to help maintain results and happy, glowing skin:

• Makeup. If you choose to wear makeup, clean brushes and clean hands are ideal. If you can wait at least 12 hours, fabulous!
• Exercise, Saunas, Steam Rooms Sweating isn't recommended for at least 12 hours since your skin will feel hotter, more sensitive and sweat can clog pores. Don't use cleansing wipes - use a proper cleanser and moisturizer after your sweat sesh.
• Pools, Hot Tubs , Lakes. This is bacteria based - avoid these for 24 hours. If you can't, make sure you use a good cleanser and moisturizer. We still advise against these for 24 hours.
• Waxing. Best to be avoided for 24 - 48 hours. If you had a Facial peel, waiting a week before waxing is optimal. 
• Filler, Botox, Laser, Tattooing. Best to chat with your technician, but generally  facials are best kept to a week minimum between facial and any Filler, Botox, Laser  or Tattooing.
• Tanning. Don't. But if you do, wait a week after a facial before tanning beds or sunning outdoors. And wear your SPF!
