A facial is relaxing, rejuvenating, and great for your skin. When you visit MyLash & Beauty Spa, you’ll receive a professional facial treatment that will leave you looking and feeling great. Here’s how to get the most out of your visit.



Take a Shower

You should before you visit a facial spa. This isn’t just for hygienic purposes, but it also opens your pores and helps prepare your body. If you arrive for your facial hydrated and ready to go, you’ll get the most from your facial.

You should wash your face as well. We want to see how your skin looks on an average day. This helps us tailor your treatment for you. However, avoid exfoliating your skin as this can cause irritation.

Don’t Wear Makeup

Do not wear any makeup to your facial. Not only will the facial process remove your makeup anyway, but it also clogs your skin, which makes it more difficult to complete the facial successfully.

The facial is designed to target and nourish your skin. If your pores are filled with makeup, this won’t be possible, and you won’t see all the facial benefits. 

Plus, as mentioned, we want to see your skin in its natural state so that we can treat any blemishes, bumps, or imperfections. This is why it’s important to arrive makeup-free. You may even want to give yourself a day without makeup before you come in for a facial, since this lets your skin breathe and you’ll see more benefits from the facial treatment.

Avoid Heavy Skincare after Facial

When you’re done, avoid applying toners, exfoliants, and other harsh products that could damage or irritate your skin. You’ve already received a deep clean during your appointment, so there’s no need to do this again. A professional facial steamer or cleansing treatment at our spa will ensure that your skin is clean and at its best.

Instead of doing any sort of deep cleaning, you’ll want to keep your face hydrated and moisturized. Drink plenty of water and use a gentle facial moisturizer to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

You’ll also want to avoid heavy makeup after your facial. Your pores are still open, so you’ll likely want to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours. Doing so will help you avoid skin irritation, clogged pores, breakouts, and other issues. If you do wear makeup, clean your applicators and brushes first to avoid irritating your skin and clogging your pores.

Don’t Exercise After a Facial

As mentioned, your skin needs some time to calm itself following a facial. A facial treatment opens your pores and exfoliates your skin, so you’ll want to avoid doing anything that could bother it. This includes exercising. When you’re working out, your skin gets hot and covered in sweat. This can irritate newly cleansed skin and clog your pores. Therefore, it’s a good idea to skip your workout for the next day or two.

You’ll also want to avoid the sauna for a couple of days as well since the heat can irritate your skin.

Stay Away from Prolonged Sun Exposure

Your skin will be more sensitive following a facial. Harmful rays from the sun are more likely to damage it during this time. For at least a couple of days, avoid prolonged or direct sun exposure whenever possible. This doesn’t mean you’ll need to stay indoors completely, but wear a hat, avoid sunbathing, and wear sunscreen.

Our goal is to help you look your best and take care of your skin. For more information or to book an appointment at our spa, please call us at (609) 448-5274 or contact us online.
