Caring for your skin

Your skin has just experienced a beautiful renewal, and the care you give it over the coming days is just as important as the treatment itself.

Select aftercare advice for...

Microneedling

Dermaplaning

Acid Peels

"Following treatments such as micro-needling, dermaplaning or chemical peels, your skin enters
a natural period of repair and regeneration.
During this time, it's more delicate and more susceptible to damage from the sun's UV rays.
Daily protection with a broad-spectrum SPF 50
is one of the most important ways to support
your skin's healing journey, preserve your results and maintain a healthy, radiant complexion."

Think of your aftercare as an extension of your treatment. By nourishing your skin with gentle products, keeping it well hydrated, and protecting it from the sun each day, you are giving it the time and care it needs to restore, strengthen and reveal its natural luminosity.

At Oleilu, every treatment is more than a facial – it's a nurturing ritual that honours both your wellbeing and your skin. Your aftercare is the final step in that ritual, helping you enjoy beautiful, lasting results long after you leave the treatment room.

At Oleilu, I recommend MediMD Sun Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ following advanced skin treatments. Developed with post-procedure skin in mind, it provides high-level protection against both UVA and UVB rays while helping to support the skin as it recovers. Its lightweight formula sits comfortably on the skin, making it an effortless part of your daily self-care ritual.

Frequently asked questions...

How long will my skin take to recover?

Oleilu offers a carefully curated range of holistic and advanced skin treatments designed to nurture both your wellbeing and your skin. These include luxury holistic facials, reflexology, massage, microneedling, chemical peels and dermaplaning. Every treatment is tailored to your individual skin concerns and wellbeing goals, creating a bespoke experience that delivers both relaxation and visible results.

When can I wear makeup again?

To allow your skin to recover and reduce the risk of irritation, it is best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours following your treatment. After microneedling, waiting 24–48 hours is recommended whenever possible to allow your skin time to heal.

Why is wearing SPF so important after my treatment?

Following your treatment, your skin is more sensitive to UV damage. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every day helps protect your skin from sunburn, pigmentation and premature ageing, while supporting the healing process and preserving your treatment results.

Can I exercise after my treatment?

It is best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, saunas, steam rooms and hot baths for at least 24 hours following your treatment. Heat can increase redness and sensitivity while your skin is healing.

Can I wash my face after my treatment?

Yes, but be gentle. Use lukewarm water and a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser. Avoid scrubbing the skin or using cleansing brushes, exfoliants or active ingredients until your skin has fully recovered.

What skincare products should I avoid?

For several days after your treatment, avoid products containing retinol, AHAs, BHAs, exfoliating acids, strong vitamin C serums and physical exfoliants. Instead, focus on gentle cleansing, hydration and daily SPF.

My skin feels dry, tight or is beginning to peel—is this normal?

Yes. This is a normal part of your skin's renewal process, particularly after microneedling and chemical peels. Continue to keep your skin well hydrated and avoid picking or removing any peeling skin, allowing it to shed naturally.

How can I achieve the best results?

The best results come from a combination of professional treatments and consistent home care. Staying hydrated, following your personalised aftercare advice, using a broad-spectrum SPF every day and maintaining a simple, nourishing skincare routine will help your skin continue to thrive between appointments.
