Australian summers are beautiful, but they’re also some of the harshest in the world when it comes to UV exposure. After advanced skin treatments like BBL, MOXI, LED, peels, or clinical facials, your skin becomes more sensitive and vulnerable to environmental stressors.
At FEALS in Balgowlah, we see incredible results from these treatments, but the real magic continues at home. Post-care is what protects your investment and ensures long-lasting, glowing skin.
Here’s your FEALS-approved guide to caring for your skin after a treatment during the Australian summer.
1. Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable
After treatments like BBL or MOXI, your skin is more photosensitive. In Australian UV conditions, even a few minutes of exposure can undo your results.
Your Essentials
- SPF 50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen (reapply every 2 hours)
- Hat + sunglasses
- Avoid peak UV hours (10am–3pm)
- Stay in the shade whenever possible
Pro Tip from FEALS: Mineral sunscreens are gentler post-treatment and less likely to irritate sensitive skin.
2. Keep Your Skin Cool and Calm
Heat can trigger inflammation, redness, and pigmentation especially in summer.
Avoid
- Hot showers
- Saunas
- Intense workouts for 24–48 hours
- Direct sun on the face
Do Instead
- Use cool compresses
- Keep a calming mist in the fridge
- Stay hydrated throughout the day
This helps reduce swelling while supporting your skin barrier.
3. Stick to Gentle, Supportive Skincare
Your skin needs stability, not stimulation.
Use
- A gentle cleanser
- Hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid)
- Barrier-repair moisturiser
- Soothing ingredients such as niacinamide, panthenol or Centella
Avoid
- Retinol / tretinoin
- Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
- AHAs / BHAs
- Scrubs or exfoliants
- Active masks
Most clients can return to their normal routine after 5–7 days unless Sienna advises otherwise.
4. Keep the Skin Moist
Summer heat can cause dehydration, and treatments like MOXI and BBL can make the skin feel dry or tight.
- Apply moisturiser twice a day or more if the skin feels thirsty.
- Hydrated skin heals faster, maintains results longer, and feels more comfortable.
5. No Self-Tan on the Face
Fake tan can interfere with pigment correction and laser results.
- Avoid applying self-tan to the face for at least one week after treatment.
- If you’re tanning your body, use a barrier cream to avoid transfer onto the face.
6. Avoid Swimming for 24–48 Hours
Chlorine, salt water, and heavy sun exposure combined can irritate freshly treated skin.
If you’re at the beach or pool:
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat
- Sit under an umbrella
- Keep your face out of direct sun
7. Expect and Embrace Short-Term Changes
Depending on your treatment:
- Pigmentation may darken before lifting
- Skin may feel rough (especially after MOXI)
- Mild redness is normal
- Heat sensation may last a few hours
These are healthy signs of renewal and usually resolve quickly when post-care is followed.
8. LED Light Therapy = Your Summer Recovery Bestie
If your skin feels warm, tight, irritated, or sensitised from the summer heat, LED Light Therapy speeds up healing and reduces inflammation.
It’s one of the best ways to maintain results all summer long.
9. Hydrate Inside and Out
Dehydrated skin doesn’t heal as well.
Increase:
- Water intake
- Electrolytes on hot days
- Fresh, water-rich foods (berries, cucumber, watermelon)
Your skin will thank you.
10. Follow the FEALS Plan Made Just for You
