Pre/After Care
Before your facial:
Please acquaint yourself with your at home skincare products as your esthetician is likely to ask you about your daily skincare routine and the products you use regularly. Do not wax or shave (up to 48 hours) before your facial as this can make your skin feel more sensitive. Are you taking any medication? If you are using an oral medication that is known to thin the skin (such as roaccutane), it is recommended that you discuss discontinuing this with your GP for the 3 months before getting a facial treatment. Avoid sun bathing at least one week before your treatment. Don’t over exfoliate in the two to three days leading up to it, since most facials include an exfoliating treatment anyway.
After your facial:
Moisturise daily, avoid sun exposure & use SPF 50 daily, avoid facial waxing, shaving & laser treatments for 2-3 weeks. Exercise & hydrate, gentle cleanse daily and avoid wearing make-up for 24hrs. Avoid Retinols & exfoliants for 1 week. Avoid swimming, saunas for 48hrs. Avoid touching or rubbing the area after treatment. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 48hrs.

Also protect your skin from the sun for at least 48 hours prior to the treatment, and sunburnt skin may not be able to tolerate the treatment
After The Treatment:
Your skin may appear a little red, but not overly irritated. Since the facial is largely a surface treatment your skin will become more sensitive to light and so it is essential to moisturise and use SPF30 sunscreen daily and/or straight after your facial. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water, use a clean pillow case to sleep on and use a clean cloth to wash your face. It is also essential to avoid wearing makeup for at least 12 hours after the treatment. This will give your skin more than enough time to heal and allow the Oxygen treatment to work its magic.
