Treatment results are made in the two days afterwards. Most disappointment traces back to aftercare, not the appointment.
The 48-hour rules
- No acids or retinoids for 48 hours after exfoliation or waxing.
- No hot yoga, sauna or steam for 24 hours.
- SPF religiously for a week after any resurfacing.
Sleep is a skincare step
Barrier repair peaks overnight. Seven hours does more for your complexion than any serum in the £100 bracket.
