A Guide to Skin Care After a Men’s Facial

The Importance of Proper Care

Facials can serve a range of purposes, but whether you had exfoliation or extraction done, your skin will be sensitive afterwards. The initial stress of the facial means your skin will be more susceptible to irritants immediately after the treatment. Fortunately, by taking some special steps, you’ll boost the effectiveness of the treatment while helping your skin adjust and improve.

How to Protect Your Skin

Too much steam will break the capillaries in your skin. Also, you’ll be more sensitive than usual to the sun, so wear a hat when you go out after the treatment, and limit the time you spend outdoors. Try to avoid wearing sunscreen for a few days, as the chemicals will act as irritants. Finally, when you wash your face, use warm water and a gentle soap applied with your fingertips rather than a brush or washcloth.
