Maximizing the Benefits of Your Facial
To get the most out of your facial treatments, consider the following tips:
- Maintain a consistent skincare routine between treatments
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet rich in skin-loving nutrients
- Protect your skin from sun damage with daily SPF
- Avoid harsh products or treatments immediately before or after your facial
