A HydraFacial is one of the most powerful, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatments which exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates your skin, leaving it refreshed and glowing. The after care is even more essential, since your skin is sensitive to sun exposure. In other words, it's advisable not to get your tan on after the treatment. If your daily activities put you in the sunlight, wear a hat and sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to play it safe. To preserve the results and protect your skin from sun damage, it's important to incorporate a strong SPF into your post-treatment skincare regime. After your HydraFacial treatment, apply sunscreen generously to all exposed areas of your skin. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating heavily.
01Why Is SPF Important After A HydraFacial Treatment?
Enhanced Sensitivity : HydraFacial treatments temporarily increase skin sensitivity. In addition, exposure to harmful UV rays without adequate protection can lead to sunburn, redness, and premature ageing. Maintaining Results : A good SPF helps to lock in the moisture and nutrients provided during the HydraFacial treatment, prolonging the benefits and preventing your skin from becoming dull and dehydrated. Preventing Sun Damage: Sun exposure can cause dark spots, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Applying sunscreen regularly is an important step in shielding your skin from these harmful effects.
02Choosing the Right Sunscreen
When selecting a sunscreen, keep in mind the following factors: SPF : Purchase a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Higher SPFs offer more protection, but ensure the product is formulated for your particular skin type. Broad-Spectrum Protection : Opt for a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute to premature ageing, while UVB rays are mainly responsible for sunburns. Skin Type : Lastly, pick a sunscreen format that suits your skin type. For instance, if you have oily skin, look for a non-comedogenic formula. If you have dry skin, opt for a sunscreen lotion. For the best SPF for face, we recommend the Lakme Sun Expert SPF 50 PA+++ Ultra Matte Lotion Sunscreen or the POND'S Serum Boost Sunscreen cream SPF 55 to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun post a HydraFacial treatment.
