Here’s a general breakdown of the process:
Pre-Repechage Medi Facial
Dr. Niti Gaur, skin care expert and dermatologist in Gurgaon at Citrine Clinic, conducts a thorough skin analysis to know the client’s skin type and concern, and then plans out the procedure steps and the formulation to be used.
During the Facial
The entire face is properly cleansed, usually with Repechage foam cleanser, to make the skin free of impurities, excess oil, and cosmetics.
Next, the facial skin is exfoliated using a suitable method like dermaplaning, chemical peel, or microdermabrasion to eliminate the skin cell debris from the skin surface.
Steam may be used to soften the skin and shrink enlarged pores, thereby clearing the skin of comedones.
The Repechage C-serum (a seaweed filtrate) is applied to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. For further moisturising skin and encouraging blood circulation, a hydrating massaging cream is used. In some cases, a specialised mask, like a seaweed mask, is applied. Special machines like electrogalvanic machines may be used to enhance the absorption of products.
The facial ends with a proper massage using appropriate serums, and finally, a hydrating sunscreen is applied for sun protection.
After Repechage Medi Facial
Dr. Niti Gaur, dermatologist in Gurgaon, recommends certain skincare products for use at home to help maintain the desired skin improvements. Besides, it’s recommended to follow these after facial guidelines:
- Sun-protect the face with sunscreen of at least 30-50 SPF, even if it's cloudy outside.
- Avoid make-up use for a minimum of 2 days. When applying, go for only mineral-based, non-comedogenic products.
- Use a fragrance-free, mild cleanser and gently pat dry skin. Don’t unnecessarily touch, pick, rub, scrub, or be harsh with the healing skin.
- Do not engage in strenuous workouts, hot baths/showers, steam rooms, and saunas for at least 2 days, as such activities can irritate the facial skin with sweat and heat.
- Drink adequate water daily to keep flushing toxins from the skin and increase its nourishment.
- Maintain a gentle skincare routine with a healthy lifestyle.
