Why: Eliminates skin hairs, product, and bacteria. How: Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser. Use lukewarm water.
Why: Reduces inflammation and balances skin pH. How: Choose alcohol-free toners with rose water, chamomile, or witch hazel. Apply and pat skin with a cotton pad.
Why: Hydrates skin, preventing dryness and irritation. Use a non-comedogenic, lightweight moisturiser. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera don't clog pores.
Reason: Cools and reduces redness on sensitive skin. How: Apply aloe vera, calendula, or cucumber gel straight to the skin. Refrigerate the gel for extra cooling.
Why: Newly stitched skin is more UV-sensitive. How: Use an SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen while going outside. Choose fragrance-free, sensitive-skin sunscreens.
Why: Touching and exfoliating can irritate skin and introduce microorganisms. After threading, avoid touching your face and forgo physical or chemical exfoliants for 24–48 hours.
