BB Glow Aftercare — Protecting Your Radiant Skin

You've made the empowering decision to gift yourself the wonders of BB Glow. The anticipation, excitement, and promise of radiant skin — it's a transformative journey. But like any cherished beauty treatment, BB Glow demands proper aftercare to maintain its long-term luminance. Follow this guide to protect your results and keep your skin glowing.

What Is BB Glow?

BB Glow is an innovative non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling with a specialised tinted serum. The result is diminished freckles, harmonised skin tone, and an overall youthful glass-skin glow. The microneedling pen stimulates collagen production while the BB Glow serum delivers pigment and nutrients deep into the skin for a semi-permanent brightening effect that lasts.

Key Benefits of BB Glow

• Even, radiant skin tone with a natural tint
• Less visible wrinkles and fine lines
• Semi-permanent brightening that lasts weeks
• Rejuvenated, refreshed skin texture
• Reduced appearance of freckles and pigmentation

Preparing for Your BB Glow Treatment

Proper preparation sets the foundation for optimal results. Follow these guidelines before your session:

• Stop using Retin-A and retinol products at least 10 days before treatment
• Maintain a 6-month gap from Accutane use
• Avoid Botox for two weeks before your appointment
• Shield your skin from direct sun exposure the day before
• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face

BB Glow Aftercare — What to Do

First 24 Hours

Do not wash your face or apply any cosmetics during the first 24 hours. Your skin needs time to absorb the serum and begin the healing process undisturbed.

12 to 72 Hours Post-Treatment

• Use only gentle, fragrance-free cleansers
• Apply hyaluronic acid serums to keep skin hydrated
• Mineral makeup is acceptable after the first day
• SPF 30 or higher is essential — your skin is vulnerable to UV damage
• Avoid heavy creams or active ingredients

Beyond 72 Hours

You can gradually return to your regular skincare routine. Products containing retinol and vitamin C can be reintroduced, but monitor your skin's reaction carefully. Always use sun protection daily.

What to Avoid After BB Glow

• No makeup for at least 3 days — Let your skin breathe and heal
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds — UV rays can damage the fresh serum and cause pigmentation
• Skip spicy foods and seafood for 3 days to prevent inflammation
• Use neutral temperature water for washing your face — hot water irritates healing skin
• Avoid retinol and vitamin C products for up to 8 weeks unless your artist advises otherwise
• Always wear moisturiser with SPF 30 or higher — this is non-negotiable for protecting your investment
