Can we do bleach after facial?
Both face bleach and facial treatments are stiff along the skin. Bleach directly after a facial can surely irritate and overload your skin barrier.
Why is bleach after a facial not ideal?
A facial usually includes cleansing, steaming, exfoliation, and sometimes application of mild peels or extractions. This results in skin becoming sensitive for a certain period of time.
So if you bleach the skin:
- It may emit a burning sensation that is more than usual
- Redness, itching, and rashes may occur
- The skin barrier may become dry and damaged
Therefore most of the time, experts refuse to use bleach right after a facial session.
What is the safer order?
If you are going to do both:
- Firstly do bleach on clean skin that is not irritated
- Stay off the bleach for at least 24 hours (or more if you are still feeling sensitive)
- Then get a gentle, hydrating facial
This sequence allows the skin to recover from bleach before exposing it to other steps.
If you have already had a facial
- Avoid bleach for at least a few days
- Help your skin with the right products: gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen
- Do not use harsh actives, scrubs, or home remedies
Conclusion
To sum up, it is better not to do bleach after facial. Arrange your routine in such a way that bleach is done at a different time and far away from any intensive treatment.
