When to apply makeup after facials and how to protect your results during the first 24 hours.
For Gentle Hydration Facials
Many clients can apply makeup later the same day, though a makeup-free window may help skin reset.
For Exfoliating Treatments
After stronger exfoliation, a longer break from makeup may be recommended to protect the barrier.
Best Post-Facial Products
Focus on non-irritating, hydrating products and daily sunscreen to preserve results.
