Skin Longevity Guide
HydraFacial Aftercare
You just invested in your skin. These simple, expert-guided steps protect your results and let your glow last as long as possible — the same aftercare protocol we give every client at the boutique.
First 24 Hours
- • Skip makeup for at least 12 hours so serums fully absorb.
- • Avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot yoga for 24 hours.
- • Do not use retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or physical exfoliants for 48 hours.
- • Rinse gently with lukewarm water — no hot showers on the face.
- • Apply SPF 30+ before any sun exposure. Freshly resurfaced skin is more sun-sensitive.
Days 2–7
- • Reintroduce active ingredients slowly — start with one night, then build back up.
- • Layer a hydrating serum (hyaluronic acid or peptides) morning and night.
- • Keep SPF non-negotiable, every single morning.
- • Drink water. Hydrated skin holds glow longer.
- • Skip picking, scrubbing, or new invasive treatments for at least a week.
Long-Term Skin Longevity
A single HydraFacial resets your skin. A monthly cadence is what changes it. Consistent treatments compound — clearer pores, denser hydration, more even tone, and a stronger barrier. Pair your monthly facial with a simple, professional-grade home routine and your skin will read years younger than the calendar suggests.
Frequently Asked
Can I wear makeup after a HydraFacial?
We recommend skipping makeup for the first 12 hours so your freshly exfoliated skin can breathe and fully absorb the serums infused during treatment.
When can I exercise after a HydraFacial?
Wait at least 24 hours before intense exercise, saunas, hot yoga, or steam rooms. Heat and sweat can irritate freshly resurfaced skin.
When can I use retinol or exfoliating acids again?
Pause retinol, glycolic, salicylic, and any physical exfoliants for 48 hours. Reintroduce them slowly after the skin barrier has settled.
How long do HydraFacial results last?
Most clients enjoy 5 to 7 days of visible glow, with hydration and clarity benefits lasting up to a month. A monthly HydraFacial keeps results compounding over time.
