Posted by Red Carpet on Queen on July 13th, 2018

Getting a professional facial can be most relaxing experience ever but having a reaction after that can destroy that Zen state. If you don’t want to spoil the fun, you can use some tips before heading for facial. Facials in Toronto can make your skin glowing and beautiful. Here are some tips you should follow before facial.

1.        Don’t Get Botox

If you are getting Botox, it should be at least 48 hours before a facial. Also, you can’t massage skin that is been freshly injected. 

2.        Don’t wax within 24 hours of your facial

Waxing is like a type of aggressive exfoliation and getting facial on the sensitive skin can harm the skin. Waxing is not good after and before facial.

3.        Don’t spend time in the sun the day before

The positive point of facials is that they can go a long way in repairing sun damage like pigmentation, but your skin requires a chance to rest after sun exposure. It may react to anti-aging or acne-clearing ingredients in your treatment.

4.        Don’t use exfoliating products

Ingredients such as glycolic acid and retinol can exfoliate the outermost layer and can be good for sensitive skin. If you are unsure of the ingredients in the skincare products, stay away from them and use gentle products for few days to your facial.

5.        Don’t do your home repairs

Never try home repairs for pimples and blackheads before facial. This can hyper inflame your skin and make it tough for the esthetician to properly extract what is left in your pores. So be firm with your skin, and hold off for the expert to handle it all.

6.        Don’t use eyelash extensions

The glue used for lashes can’t be rubbing for at least 48 hours. So, it is better to get eyelash extensions as it will waste your time and money.

To prevent your skin from reactions, you need to play safe prepare your skin for facial. This article is about what things you don’t have to do when going for facials in Toronto.
