8 Ways to Prepare for Your Hydrafacial

November 22, 2023

Hydrafacials have become a buzzword in the skincare world, renowned for their ability to deliver instant hydration, clarity, and that sought-after glow. While this treatment is gentle and suitable for nearly all skin types, there are steps you can take to ensure you reap its full benefits. Whether you're a regular at White Lily's & Caviar or are considering your first Hydrafacial experience, here's how to prep for the best results:

Gentle Cleansing

Begin with a fresh canvas. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser the night before and morning of your Hydrafacial. This ensures that the treatment can penetrate deeper into your skin without barriers like makeup or daily pollutants.

Avoid Exfoliation

A few days leading up to your Hydrafacial, avoid any aggressive exfoliants or scrubs. The Hydrafacial itself offers a deep exfoliation, so there's no need to potentially irritate your skin beforehand.

Hold Off on Other Treatments

If you're considering other facial treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or even strong facials, it's best to space them out. Ideally, give your skin a break of at least a week before and after your Hydrafacial.

Limit Sun Exposure

Minimize sun exposure for at least 48 hours before your treatment. A sunburned face can be sensitive, and while the Hydrafacial is gentle, it's best to avoid it on inflamed skin.

Consult on Medications

If you're on any prescription medications, especially for your skin, consult with our licensed estheticians before your appointment. Some medications might make the skin more sensitive or reduce the effectiveness of the Hydrafacial.

Hydrate Your Body

While the Hydrafacial does wonders for the hydration of your skin, starting with a hydrated body can amplify the results. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment.

Be Open About Concerns

At White Lily's & Caviar, we cater to each individual's needs. It's essential to communicate any skin concerns or goals you might have. Our team can adjust the treatment accordingly.

For Men, Consider Shaving

If you have stubble or are wondering when to shave, consider shaving a day before. This ensures the treatment can access all areas of your face evenly.
