Tams Glam

Please read the general information on facials below, and then scroll to your specific facial for any extra specific information.

pre care

• All our facials will consist of a double cleanse, however if possible, please arrive free of make up.

• Avoid using any active ingredients such as retinoids, exfoliants, acids for 5 days before your facial
• Stop taking Accutane for at least 3 months before your facial
• Avoid IPL/Laser, unprotected sun exposure or sunbeds 2 weeks before your facial
• Avoid waxing, depilatory creams or electrolysis on the face 5 days before your procedure
• Avoid picking the skin

After care

• Avoid any perfumes, fake tan or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment
• Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of infection
• Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area.
• Avoid any skin exfoliation for 72 hours following treatment. It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two times a day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling.
• Use a gentle cleanser on the skin for the first 5 days
• Avoid any products that contain alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and glycolic acid for at least 7 days after treatment.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds and exposure to heat for 72 hours after treatment. These can cause sweating which can irritate the delicate skin and slow down your ability to heal quickly.
• Avoid any excess alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours after treatment.
• Wear SPF 30 or greater sunscreen for at least 2 weeks following treatment as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight afterwards.(get into a routine of wearing SPF everyday even in the winter)
• Avoid any further cosmetic treatments e.g. Botox or dermal filler for 2 weeks following treatment, or ask your practitioner for advice. (relates to more invasive facials, I will tell you if this applies to you.)
• Avoid any hair removal treatments such as waxing for 2 weeks after treatment
• Change your pillow case when you get home. Always wash hands before touching the skin

It is advised to have a course to have the best results, and then maintenance to keep your skin looking amazing. Please be consistent with the home care routine as this will impact your results. Just like your personal trainer will need you to be consistent in the gym, as well as keeping on top of your diet at home, the same goes with your skincare.

BB Glow facial
The same applies as above

• A course of at least 4 sessions is recommended, and then you can cut down to maintain
• Do not wash your face until the next morning

• This is sheer coverage – this is not semi permanent foundation

Microneedling
The same applies as main body, as well as:

• numbing cream will be provided
• The skin may appear red for 24-48 hours and feel warm to touch
• Your skin may have some light peeling/flaking afterwards. Do not pick the skin, moisturise well with clean friends

Seanergy peel
The same applies as main body, as well as:

• Do not pick or peel any skin – let this come off on its own
• moisturise your skin in the opposite way the skin is peeling- Pushing the skin back down onto the face instead of moving the skin away from the face.
• Your skin may feel tender, like a sunburn, and appear red for up to 48 hours.
