The Best Post-Facial Routine for Long-Lasting Glow

The Best Post-Facial Routine for Long-Lasting Glow

June 17, 2025

There’s no better feeling than the fresh-face glow you get walking out of a Dream Spa Medical facial. But the secret to making that glow last? What you do after. Post-facial care is often overlooked, and yet, it plays a huge role in your results.

Right after your facial…

  • Don’t touch your face
  • Skip makeup for at least 12–24 hours to let your skin breathe.
  • Avoid sweating for 24 hours (no hot yoga or steam rooms).

Over the next few days:

  • Use calming products—like hyaluronic acid, ceramide creams, or post-procedure serums.
  • Avoid active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or exfoliants for 3–5 days unless instructed otherwise.
  • Sleep on a clean pillowcase and change it every few days.
  • Apply SPF religiously, especially after extractions or exfoliation.

What to avoid:

  • Harsh scrubs or tools
  • Picking at your skin
  • Sun exposure without protection
  • Using new products right away (stick with what works)

Want long-term glow? Book facials every 4–6 weeks and maintain your results with the right home routine between visits. Ask your aesthetician what products to use next, we’ll make sure your glow isn’t just a one-day thing.
