Aftercare
Aftercare is an essential step to maximizing the benefits of your Skin Laundry facials. Our team of medical professionals took great care to develop our pre and post-treatment recommendations to help you maximize your results & maintain your glow at home.


- Please continue to reapply 30+ SPF every 2 hours, even if you are planning to be inside
- If you apply makeup or plan to exercise, please thoroughly cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, sweat, makeup, or bacteria immediately afterwards to avoid blocking your newly laundered pores.
- Hold off on any physical exfoliation of the treated area until tomorrow, particularly if you typically use a brush or scrubber, or any cleansers with harsher particles.
- Wait a day to use any active topical products such as Vitamin C, retinol, etc.) to reduce your chance of dryness, especially if your skin is still adjusting to a newer product.

- Direct sun exposure.
- Any new or unfamiliar products (especially without consulting your nurse or doctor first).
- Touching or picking at your skin.


- Reapply your medical-grade serum to the treated area every hour for 6 hours following your facial. After the 6 hours, maintain a gentle skincare routine until your skin calms.
- Beginning 6 hours after treatment, apply a gentle emollient ointment, such as Aquaphor to help soothe the skin if you experience sensitivity, dryness, or flakiness. May we recommend our Vitamin B5 Antioxidant Moisturizer?
- Wait 24 hours post-treatment to use any cleanser, and only use gentle skincare products until your skin restores itself to baseline feeling.
- Ask your Registered Nurse any questions– don’t be shy, that’s what they do!

- For the next day, avoid excessive heat exposure such as a very hot shower, sauna or steam room; excessive sweating; and using SPF, as each could clog your now freshly-opened pores.
- For the next two days, steer clear of makeup, abrasive or exfoliating cleansing tools, that could irritate your freshly-revealed skin
- For the next week, we advise shading your treated areas from direct sun exposure, or any UV-rays, as well as using any unfamiliar new skincare products
- Always resist touching or picking at your skin!
- For the next 3 days, avoid using retinol.
