Post-treatment care
Aftercare Instructions
What you do in the 72 hours after your treatment determines how long the results last and how beautifully your skin heals. Read this carefully — it really matters.
Universal rules — apply to every treatment
DO: Keep your skin clean, hydrated and protected with SPF 50+ for the next 7 days.
DO: Apply only gentle hydrators (we recommend Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Cream) for 48 hours after your facial.
DO: Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin heals faster and holds its glow longer.
AVOID: Avoid retinoids, acids (AHA/BHA), vitamin C and exfoliating scrubs for at least 48–72 hours.
AVOID: Avoid direct sun exposure, sauna, steam rooms and hot showers for 24 hours.
AVOID: Avoid heavy makeup for at least 24 hours after a facial, and ideally 48 hours after peels or LED therapy.
AVOID: Do not touch, pick or rub your skin. Your skin is more receptive and any irritation will show.
Treatment-specific instructions
The Glow Facial / Reset Facial

- •Use Murad Essential-C Day Cream + SPF 50 in the morning for the next 3 days.
- •Sleep on a clean pillowcase tonight to prevent any bacteria transfer.
Microneedling / Skin Correction Facial

LED Light Therapy
Immediately
- •You can apply gentle hydrators and SPF straight after.
