Facial Aftercare Instructions After your facial, keep your routine simple and protect your skin: - Avoid exfoliation, retinoids, strong active products, and scrubs for 2-3 days unless your provider gives different instructions. - Avoid heavy heat, steam rooms, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 hours. - Wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day and limit direct sun exposure. - Keep skin hydrated and avoid picking, squeezing, or over-cleansing. - Contact your provider if you experience unusual discomfort, prolonged irritation, or have questions about your routine. Your provider may recommend a customized routine based on your treatment and skin goals. Template note: This is a business template for general education and convenience.

A printed handout at checkout is the highest-attention moment for aftercare. Clients are still in your space and can ask questions before leaving.
Email or text the same instructions through your booking platform. Clients lose the printed handout; the digital copy is what they actually reference at home.
If the facial included extractions, peels, or device work, swap in service-specific aftercare for the first 48 hours. Generic aftercare misses what matters for higher-risk services.
List the same channel clients booked through (text, email, or your booking platform). A clear contact path turns 'is this normal?' anxiety into a quick answer instead of a no-show next month.

Open the policies hub →Most providers recommend pausing retinoids and strong actives for 2–3 days after a maintenance facial. Treatments with extractions, peels, or device work may need a longer pause — 5–7 days is common.
Most clients can wear light, clean makeup the next day after a maintenance facial. After a peel or extractions, suggest skipping makeup for at least 24 hours to support recovery.
Skip steam rooms, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 hours after the facial. Heat and sweat irritate freshly treated skin and can trigger breakouts.
Mild redness, sensitivity, and slight flaking are normal. Persistent burning, blistering, swelling, or any reaction outside the treated area should be reported the same day.
