Can I wear make-up after laser or facial treatments?
A simple guide to when make-up is fine and when to wait.
Quick answer: After most facials and laser hair removal you can wear make-up the next day. After microneedling, peels or Clear + Brilliant wait at least 24 hours, and use clean brushes.
Laser hair removal
Wait until any redness settles, usually the next day.
Microneedling and peels
The skin has tiny open channels or is shedding, so wait 24 hours and choose mineral make-up.
Clear + Brilliant
Many clients use a light mineral powder from the next day once pinkness eases.
Hygiene
Clean brushes and sponges reduce the risk of breakouts on freshly treated skin.
Common questions
Is mineral make-up better?
It is usually gentler on treated skin.
