Which statement about post-treatment care is correct?

• A. Return to Exfoliating Daily
• B. Expose Skin to Sun Immediately
• C. Discontinue All Moisturizers
• D. Avoid Chemical Exfoliants and Scrubs

Answer: (D)

After a facial treatment, the skin’s surface is more sensitive and needs time to heal. Post-treatment care focuses on protecting the new, delicate skin and supporting the skin barrier. Avoiding chemical exfoliants and physical scrubs during this recovery period prevents over-exfoliation, irritation, and potential triggers for redness, sensitivity, or pigment changes. Instead, use gentle cleansing, a mild moisturizer to support repair, and sunscreen to protect against UV damage, since sun exposure can exacerbate sensitivity. Returning to daily exfoliation would irritate healing skin, exposing skin to the sun immediately increases risk of damage and pigmentation, and stopping moisturizers would leave the skin dry and hinder recovery. Skipping exfoliants and scrubs aligns with promoting a calm, protected healing environment.
