Facial Massage Therapy Aftercare / Consent

What To Expect:

Depending on the facial massage chosen, some massage techniques can be quite intense to the muscles, so you may find you experience some of the following symptoms after your treatment:

  • Tiredness
  • Skin is sore to touch
  • Increased Thirst
  • Facial Muscle Tenderness
  • Redness / Flushed
  • Sounder Sleep
  • Cold Symptoms
  • Stuffy or Blocked Nose

 

Aftercare Advice:

In order to get the most out of your treatment, ensure you do the following after your facial massage:

  • Do not wash your face or apply any skincare products for 12 hours
  • To minimise dryness, skip out on any 'active' products for 3 days after. (i.e Retinal + Acids)
  • Do not apply makeup for 12-24 hours. (Once 24 hours has passed and you wish to wear makeup, please ensure your brushes are clean and sanitised)
  • Avoid exercise / sweating for 24 hours
  • Avoid swimming, sauna’s and spa environments for 72 hours
  • Sleep on a clean pillowcase at night. Preferably Silk / Satin
  • Make sure that you are also avoiding direct sun exposure. Especially tanning beds. (Preferably forever! But if you must, please wait 14 days)
  • Make sure to keep your skin well hydrated with a protective moisturiser. Apply it twice daily or more often if needed to reduce any dryness.
  • Do not use scrubs, loofahs, exfoliating sponges or other means of mechanical exfoliation on your face for 7 days.  
  • Drink LOTS of water!
