A professional facial deeply cleanses, nourishes, and revitalizes your skin—but the results don’t end when you leave the spa. The right at-home products will extend your glow, protect your skin barrier, and support long-term skin health.
We often recommend five key product categories to keep your post-facial skin looking and feeling its best. Here’s what they are, why they matter, and a few of our favorite options.
1. Gentle Exfoliant – Keep Skin Fresh & Smooth
After a facial, your skin is freshly renewed. Once it’s ready (usually 3–5 days later), regular gentle exfoliation helps prevent buildup of dead skin cells, improves product absorption, and promotes a healthy glow.
Our Pick:Â Nelly De Vuyst 3 Minute Gommage
Key Ingredients:Â Plant-based cellulose, essential oils, and hydrating extracts.
Why We Love It:Â This non-abrasive exfoliant gently removes dead skin cells without irritation, making it ideal for sensitive or post-facial skin.
2. SPF – Your Post-Facial Protector
Freshly treated skin is more sensitive to UV damage. A daily SPF shields your skin from harmful rays, prevents premature aging, and protects your facial investment.
Our Pick:Â Nelly De Vuyst SPF 30 Mineral
Key Ingredients:Â Zinc oxide (mineral-based sun protection), aloe vera, and vitamin E.
Why We Love It: Broad-spectrum, lightweight, and chemical-free—perfect for protecting freshly exfoliated skin without clogging pores.
3. Moisturizer – Strengthen the Skin Barrier
After a facial, your skin is deeply hydrated—but to maintain that plump, healthy look, a quality moisturizer is essential.
Our Pick:Â Nelly De Vuyst Repair Cream
Key Ingredients:Â Aloe vera, shea butter, and soothing plant extracts.
Why We Love It: Rich in antioxidants and nourishing oils, it locks in hydration while supporting the skin’s natural repair process.
4. Serum or Oil – Targeted Skin Solutions
Facials often boost product penetration, so incorporating a targeted serum or oil into your routine will help address specific skin concerns like fine lines, dullness, or uneven tone.
Our Pick:Â Nelly De Vuyst BioTense Serum
Key Ingredients:Â Hyaluronic acid, peptides, and plant stem cells.
Why We Love It: Delivers deep hydration, improves elasticity, and supports collagen production—ideal for maintaining your facial’s results.
5. Mask – At-Home Spa Boost
Masks give your skin an extra dose of nutrients and hydration between facials. Depending on your needs, choose formulas that calm, hydrate, or detoxify.
Our Pick:Â Esthemax HydroJelly Mask
Key Ingredients: Each formula varies—options include hyaluronic acid for hydration, spirulina for detox, and goji berry for antioxidant protection.
Why We Love It:Â These fun, jelly-like masks soothe, hydrate, and brighten while feeling like a mini spa treatment at home.
Final Tip
Your facialist can help customize which exfoliant, SPF, moisturizer, serum, or mask best suits your skin type and goals. By following up your professional facial with the right at-home care, you’ll protect your investment and enjoy radiant, healthy skin for weeks to come.
