At La Cara Aesthetics, I understand that investing in aesthetic treatments is a commitment to looking and feeling your best. However, the care you give your skin between treatments plays a crucial role in prolonging and enhancing the results. Here are some expert tips on maintaining your skin’s health and radiance between appointments.
1. Follow a Personalised Skincare Routine
- Gentle Cleansing – Use a mild, non-stripping cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil without disrupting the skin barrier.
- Hydration Boost – Incorporate hyaluronic acid or skin boosters to keep your skin plump and hydrated.
- Targeted Serums – Depending on your skin type, vitamin C, retinol, or polynucleotide-based serums can help maintain a youthful glow.
- Moisturising – Lock in hydration with a quality moisturiser suited to your skin type.
2. Protect Your Skin from the Sun
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, even on cloudy days.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for extra protection.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors.
3. Stay Hydrated and Nourished
- Drinking plenty of water to keep skin hydrated and supple.
- Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and collagen-boosting foods like berries, nuts, and fish.
- Reducing sugar and processed foods to minimise inflammation and breakouts.
4. Avoid Harsh Exfoliation and Overuse of Actives
- Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week with mild acids or enzymes.
- Avoiding harsh physical scrubs that can cause microtears.
- Consulting with your aesthetic practitioner before using retinol or strong acids after treatments.
5. Maintain Your Treatment Schedule
Each aesthetic treatment has an ideal timeframe for maintenance. At La Cara Aesthetics, I will guide you on when to return for follow-ups to achieve optimal results, if at all. Whether it’s Botox, dermal fillers, or microneedling, keeping up with your treatment plan ensures consistency and longevity. Learn more about me and my clinic here.
6. Prioritise Good Lifestyle Habits
- Get enough sleep to allow your skin to repair and regenerate.
- Reduce alcohol and smoking, as they can dehydrate and prematurely age the skin.
- Manage stress through relaxation techniques, as chronic stress can trigger breakouts and dullness.
