A SkinBase Hydro facial is an effective way to get your skin in tiptop condition. For best results, it is important to prepare your skin for the treatment. Hydro exfoliates, purifies and hydrates the skin. Using a blend of AHAs and BHAs combined with powerful serums, this treatment can give your skin the moisture it needs. Let’s take a look at how to prep your skin for a Hydro treatment.
Minimise Sun Exposure
We all know the importance of protecting skin from the sun, but in the run-up to a Hydro treatment it is even more important. To avoid increased skin sensitivity, stay protected with SPF for at least one week before to your treatment. Avoid direct sunlight and wear a wide-brimmed hat when you’re outdoors.
Exfoliation (48 Hours Before)
Stop using any exfoliating products. Exfoliants are too harsh on the skin before a treatment because they can cause irritation and redness. Hydro’s peel is effective, so it is best to let the hard-working ingredients do their job. For 48 hours before your treatment, avoid any form of exfoliation.
Hair (24-36 Hours Before)
Don’t wax or shave the treatment area as this can increase skin sensitivity. Avoid razors and hair removal creams as they can cause irritation. Avoid any kind of hair removal for at least 24-36 hours before.
Makeup (The Day Of)
For best results, avoid wearing makeup on the day of your hydro facial treatment. It is best to allow skin to breathe so the Hydro products can do what they do best.
Bonus Tip:
If you are aiming for perfect skin for a big event, allow enough time between the treatment and the event for skin to settle. This applies especially if it is your first time having Hydro. Aim to book at least 48-72 hours before your event. In an ideal world, start a few weeks before any big event so you can book a course of treatments.
