This might feel like a herculean task with your sensitive skin. While it is always best to consult with a dermatologist for any daily skincare needs, we are here to guide you on what to expect from facials designed for sensitive skin. We break down below how to prepare for a facial with sensitive skin before, during, and after your session, and what to look for to experience the best skincare for your very sensitive skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prepare for a Sensitive Skin Facial With Soothe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether this is your first facial or you\u2019re a frequent flyer, preparing for a sensitive skin facial with a Soothe provider at home is essentially the same as what you would do to prepare for a spa facial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soothe.com\/booking\/MENU\" style=\"background-color:#f58266\">Book an Anti-Stress Facial Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before your Sensitive Skin Facial:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before your facial session, it is important to cleanse your face the day of your facial, free of makeup and skincare products. We also recommend that you stay hydrated in the time leading up to the appointment. All providers will bring the necessary products for your at-home facial. Here\u2019s what else you should do in the days leading up to your appointment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid exfoliation your skin in the 24-48 hours prior to your facial, and consider stopping stronger skincare treatments such as retinoids or acids in the week prior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit your sun exposure before your appointment, avoiding tanning beds or sunbathing 48 hours before your appointment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate with your provider about any skin concerns, allergies, or common sensitivities before your appointment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove your jewelry before your session and turn off or mute your cell phone during the appointment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soothe Protip: <\/strong>Add in your scent likes and dislikes in our app before your mobile sensitive skin facial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">During your Sensitive Skin Facial:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, you are welcome to use your own table, towels, sheets, or music if preferred to create the soothing atmosphere you need. Here\u2019s how you can expect your sensitive skin facial to go with a Soothe provider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Before starting your treatment, the provider will assess your skin and make product selections based on anything communicated beforehand, and begin any aromatherapy treatments to set the mood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, your skin will be deeply cleansed and gently exfoliated to remove any impurities in your skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certified estheticians will gently massage your face throughout the session to reduce stress as part of the facial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After your Sensitive Skin Facial:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend being gentle with your skin after the session to yield the best results. This can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hydrate and moisturize your skin with your regular gentle moisturizer and drink water regularly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid heavy makeup for the rest of the day to give your skin time to breathe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay away from direct sunlight for the next 48 hours, and if you cannot avoid it, utilize sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the following 24-48 hours, skip the sauna sessions, hot showers, or strenuous exercise that would result in excessive sweating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be gentle with your skin, avoiding any additional harsh scrubs or treatments in the 3-5 days after the session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider documenting images of your face after the session to help you and your esthetician understand your skin\u2019s response to the products used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, follow your Esthetician\u2019s advice for aftercare that will be beneficial to your lifestyle and skin needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Facial for Sensitive Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Caring for sensitive skin doesn\u2019t have to be a difficult task, but the process of enhancing your routine with the proper professional treatment can make it easier with the tips outlined above. Soothe offers a variety of at-home facial services to suit your skin. For sensitive skin, we recommend our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soothe.com\/services\/facials\/anti-stress\/\">Anti-Stress facial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a relaxing facial experience, anti-stress facials are meant to help you unwind in the comfort of your home, office, or hotel room. While we say that this facial is ideal for all skin types, we truly mean it. The main benefits of at-home anti-stress facials include a healthier, brighter complexion, reduced skin irritation, and reduced redness. Regular destressing facials improve skin texture, repair the skin barrier, and ease tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult with a doctor or dermatologist for serious skin concerns and book skincare treatments with licensed estheticians.
