THINGS TO DO/KNOW BEFORE A FACIAL TREATMENT
Come cleansed if possible or wear non-waterproof makeup
Mention your allergies, special sensitivities and pain
Your pimples won't get "popped", it causes more damage than anything else
Slight redness may appear during the 24 to 48 hours following your treatment.
Your face might feel a little warm and shiny for a few hours after your session, before revealing a sublime glow!
Pimples may appear after deep cleansing as your pores will continue to clean themselves after the treatment, but once those little pimples are gone, your pores will be completely cleansed and purified. No more pimples on the horizon for a while!
WHAT TO DO AFTER A FACIAL TREATMENT
1. Avoid touching your skin. For 2-3 days, your skin will be particularly sensitive after a facial treatment. Avoid touching any blackheads that remain, you could irritate your skin. (There's a reason they haven't been removed. Sometimes a blackhead is left un-extracted because it's not ready to come out yet.) We don't touch the buttons either. It is normal that after a deep cleansing of the skin some pimples appear. They won't stay there very long, don't worry BUT don't touch them, they will go away on their own.
2. Do not apply any product on your skin. The same day After a treatment, your skin may show some redness. This is completely normal, but avoid hiding them with makeup the same day as the pores are more open than usual and therefore more receptive to bacteria. Also, don't apply cleanser, toner, or moisturizer. Your skin has already had everything it needed during the treatment, do not overload it! The day after You can wear make-up, but be careful to clean your make-up brushes beforehand, to avoid any infection. Also, stick to very gentle cleansers and moisturizers (avoid products containing alcohol at all costs, which will dehydrate and irritate your skin) You can also apply a moisturizing serum, the effect of which will be potentiated because your pores will be opened, as well as your usual moisturizer. (Warning, no anti-acne, oily skin, lightening or exfoliating treatment because these will irritate and dry out the skin). Absolutely avoid scrubs the week following your facial treatment. Too much exfoliation will damage your skin.
3. Protect your skin from water. It may sound strange, but your skin is extremely sensitive after a treatment and the skin barrier is temporarily disrupted. So the limestone in the water will attack and irritate the skin. It is therefore important the same day, especially if you wash your hair, to be very careful not to wet your face.
4. Avoid heat and sweat. Do not exercise or use the sauna after a facial treatment. Avoid heating your face and sweating as much as possible. Indeed, the heat will produce inflammation and the perspiration will irritate and infect your skin. Prefer to do your session before your appointment.
5. Protect yourself from the sun. Your skin being more sensitive to the harmful rays of the sun and certain care products being photo-sensitizing, it is important to apply sunscreen when you go out, or a moisturizer containing a filter to protect your skin (SPF 30 or more) the following week. Do not expose yourself to the sun and avoid the solarium!
6. Move any wax or laser treatments to your face. Wait at least a week. Waxing exfoliates the skin and excessive exfoliation increases the chances that the wax will lift the skin and leave you with a flaky patch. Laser hair removal has a high chance of burning your sensitized skin.
THINGS TO DO/AVOID AFTER ANTI-MIGRAINE/ANTI-STRESS MASSAGE
In order to eliminate toxins, remember to hydrate yourself well after the session and the following days.
To limit the aches that may appear the next day, you can apply a hot towel or a hot water bottle to the stressed areas (neck, shoulders, etc.)
Avoid sport and any muscular effort immediately after the session. Rest. This will allow the body to recover more easily and to benefit to the maximum from the benefits of the massage (the effects of this massage are not always immediate and may occur later).
