After your treatment
Caring for your skin after Acne Reset Facial
What to expect, what helps, and what is worth telling us about.
Deep cleansing and extractions can leave skin looking red and a little blotchy at first; that settles over the following day.
- Leave make-up off for the rest of the day so the pores stay clear.
- Cleanse gently that evening with your usual non-stripping cleanser, and moisturise.
- Wear sunscreen daily — treated skin marks more easily in the sun.
- Do not pick, squeeze or scrub, however tempting.
- Pause acids, retinoids and scrubs for a couple of days unless your provider said otherwise.
- Skip the gym, saunas, steam rooms and anything that makes you sweat heavily for the rest of the day.
- Change your pillowcase, and wipe down your phone screen.
- A few small blemishes over the following days are usually congestion clearing rather than a reaction.
Tell us if a spot becomes hot, very painful or swollen.
General guidance for this treatment, not a personal care plan. The instructions your practitioner gives you at your appointment come first — follow those. If anything worries you afterwards, contact the clinic.
