There are a few things to keep in mind before and after getting a facial done. Lets brief it out.

Before getting a facial:

• Always check if your skin is ready for the facial treatment or not. Sensitive skin can react towards the facial so it is best to consult your beautician before getting a facial.
• Women with acne or pimples need to be very careful. A facial treatment can worsen the situation. Pimples spread if touched and if you get a facial, you will end up getting more small pimples around the face.
• Avoid going out in the sun. the skin can burn due to the harmful rays of the sun. this can lead to skin reactions after the facial. Always go for a facial if the skin is not exposed to the sun for a week at least!
• If you have recently got a bruise or burn on the face, do not go for facial till it heels completely. Chemicals can increase the inflammation and damage the bruise more.

After getting a facial treatment:

• After you get a facial, let your skin become warm. Do not rub your finger on the face. Let the skin pores absorb the benefits of the facial treatment.
• Do not wash your face for 2 hours at least. After you are done with the facial, avoid washing or scrubbing your face. You can just wash your face with cold water if your skin becomes oily.
• Avoid plucking eyebrows or steaming your face. Your skin is very sensitive after the facial and can easily cut while plucking or threading. Let the skin relax for sometime. You will feel refreshed.
• Do not go out in the sun for 2-4 hours after getting a facial. Harmful UV sun rays can damage the skin and kill the open skin pores.
• Avoid makeup for the next 3-4 hours. Artificial beauty products can lead to skin infections or reactions. It is best to leave the skin natural.
• For the next day or two, you can apply homemade face wash using fruits or just water to cleanse your face. It is best to avoid appliance of any harsh chemical on the skin like face wash, lemon juice etc. This prevents you from allergies. Simply scrub a cucumber or tomato slice for a day or two after getting a facial.

These are few things that you need to keep in mind before and after getting a facial treatment done. If your skin develops blemishes, red spots, itches or dries a lot, avoid getting a facial next time. Your skin is not responding to the facial and that is why it is reacting to it. Similarly, an acne or pimple prone skin can see more breakouts after the facial. If you get more breakouts, avoid facials. Try homemade face masks to reduce acne and get a flawless skin.
