From working out to travelling by public transport, in this heat especially with freshly treated skin can react very badly to excessive heat and sweating. So it's ideal that you give your skin some time to settle post the facial before getting back to your regular exercise routine.
02/5Heavy makeup is a big no-no
As a facial or extraction treatment of any kind will leave your skin red and raw, it's advisable not to use any makeup, no matter how much you want to cover it up. Your pores will be open and it could lead to breakouts or infections depending on the hygiene of your makeup supplies.
03/5Don't even dare pick at your skin
Girls let us agree to this now, it is a gross and harmful habit we all need to get out of on a daily basis, picking at your raw, post-facial skin is probably the worst thing you can do because it's guaranteed to leave scars.
04/5Don't try any of the at-home beauty treatments
Days after getting a facial, allow your skin to breathe and heal. Don't just jump in with more beauty treatments. Stay away especially from any kind of exfoliation, because it could really adversely affect the top, protective layer of your skin. Even any peels, acne treatments or any other strong skin care products are advised against because it could be too harsh for your sensitive skin.
05/5Stay away from strong sun and steam
During your facial too, you've probably been through a steaming process of some sort, and visiting a sauna at the gym or club on top of that could lead to broken capillaries. Because your skin has been so intensively treated, it is at its most susceptible to sun damage. And aside from wearing at least 30 SPF sunscreen, you should avoid staying under direct sunlight for too long.
