• Do not apply perfume or perfumed products to the treated area within 48 hours
• Do not apply any exfoliating skincare products for 72 hours after facial
• Always cleanse, tone and moisturise your face; to prevent loss of moisture, protect the skin from make-up and to keep the skin soft and supple
