Aftercare advice for clients

The Importance of Aftercare

  • Aftercare is vital to maintain the effects of the makeup application, and to keep the skin healthy and glowing.
  • Proper aftercare preserves the longevity of the makeup and prevents potential skin issues such as irritation or breakouts.
  • Always advise clients about the importance of aftercare and guide them through each step.

Removing Makeup

  • Advise clients to remove makeup at the end of the day to prevent the accumulation of dirt and oil which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.
  • There are many makeup removers available, but oil-based removers are particularly effective for removing waterproof or long-wear makeup. Micellar water can also be a good option.
  • Clients should be advised to always be gentle when removing makeup, especially around the sensitive eye area.

Cleansing and Exfoliating

  • After makeup removal, cleansing the skin is key. This will remove any final traces of makeup and clean the pores.
  • Exfoliation is also important for removing dead skin cells and promoting cell renewal. This should be done once or twice a week, depending on the client’s skin type.

Moisturising and Hydrating

  • After cleansing and exfoliating, hydrating the skin is crucial to replenish any moisture loss and to prevent the skin from drying out.
  • A suitable moisturiser should be recommended according to the client’s skin type.
  • Additionally, a hydrating serum or oil can be used if the client has particularly dry skin.

Sun Protection

  • It should be stressed that daily application of sunscreen is essential to protect the skin. This applies even on cloudy days, as UV rays can still penetrate through clouds.

Regular Skin Health Checks

  • Encourage clients to regularly monitor their skin for any changes or potential concerns.
  • If any unusual skin changes or reactions occur after makeup application, a dermatologist should be immediately consulted.

Making Informed Product Choices

  • Highlight the value of investing in quality makeup and skincare products. These can better protect the skin and create a more seamless makeup application.
  • Also advise clients on the importance of checking product ingredients to ensure they are not allergic to them.

Practising Healthy Lifestyle Habits

  • Lastly, stress the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to keep the skin in optimal condition, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, proper hydration, and sufficient sleep.
