Imagine coming in for a much needed facial and the next morning your skin looks worse than before! No need to worry. Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness is here to explain signs of a skin purge and how to manage one. Purging is just your body’s way of ridding itself of any leftover impurities in the skin. It can often look like a bad breakout as symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads, and irritation. 

5 Steps to Manage Your Purge After Facial Treatment

1. Keep your skincare gentle and lightweight for the duration of your purge.
2. Limit Sun Exposure and use SPF 30 or higher daily!

4. Slowly reintroduce active such retinols, AHA, and BHAs back into your routine as purge subsides
5. Be Patient! Your glowing, rejuvenated will arrive in no time.

In conclusion, an unexpected skin purge can definitely be a cause for worry out of context. Practicing patience and sticking to a gentle, yet effective routine is key to protecting your skin during. If you are experiencing symptoms of a purge and have questions contact us now.
