ACNE Facial Training Manual for Estheticians

Facial Aftercare After an acne facial, it is important to follow a proper aftercare routine to maintain the health and appearance of your skin. Here are some tips for acne facial aftercare: Avoid touching or picking at your skin: Touching or picking at your skin can introduce bacteria and irritate your skin, leading to more acne breakouts.

Avoid sun exposure: Sun exposure can damage and irritate your skin, making acne worse. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Use gentle skincare products: Gentle, non-comedogenic skincare products specifically formulated for acne-prone skin.

Avoid harsh ingredients like alcohol, fragrances, and sulfates.

Keep your skin hydrated: Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to help keep your skin hydrated and prevent it from becoming dry and flaky.

Avoid heavy makeup: Heavy makeup can clog pores and irritate your skin, leading to more acne breakouts. If you must wear makeup, use non-comedogenic, oil-free products.

Keep up with regular facials: Regular facials can help keep your skin healthy and prevent acne breakouts. Consider scheduling a facial every four to six weeks.

Follow any instructions given by your esthetician: Your esthetician may give you specific aftercare instructions based on your needs and skin type. Follow these instructions carefully to get the best results from your facial.
