can i do bleach after facial - #20331

Shanaya

I am concerned about my skin after a facial I had last week. It was a microdermabrasion type thing, and my skin felt really sensitive for a few days. Now, I am questioning if it’s safe for me to try something like, can I do bleach after facial treatments? I’ve heard mixed things online. I was thinking of maybe doing a bleach on my legs, but now I'm worried it might cause irritation with my face still healing. My friend told me she did bleach just two days after her facial but I don’t wanna end up making my skin worse, ya know? Like, should I wait longer? My skin type is more on the oily side and I have some mild acne scars, so I’m definetly trying to be careful. The facial was supposed to help, but now I feel like I’m in this weird limbo. Can I do bleach after facial or is there a recommended waiting period I should think about before I try that? What have others experienced? Wonder if anyone else felt this paranoid about messing with their skin post-facial. Any advice would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

Given that facial treatments like microdermabrasion can leave your skin feeling sensitive and more vulnerable to irritation, it’s generally advisable to proceed with caution when considering additional skin treatments, such as bleaching. Microdermabrasion works by exfoliating the outermost layer of your skin, which can temporarily reduce your skin’s barrier function. This can make your skin more susceptible to potential irritants. Bleaching products, often containing chemicals like hydrogen peroxide or ammonia, can be especially harsh and may aggravate sensitive skin, which could lead to redness, irritation, or even damage. For these reasons, it’s prudent to wait at least one to two weeks after a facial treatment before attempting any kind of bleaching process on the same area, particularly on the face, to allow time for your skin to fully recover. Since you mentioned you’re considering bleaching your legs, you might find that less problematic as the skin on the body can be a bit tougher compared to the face. However, if you’re dealing with any discomfort or sensitivity that affects your entire body, it’s still wise to be careful. Before going ahead with the bleach, you could conduct a patch test on a small, discreet area of your leg to see how your skin reacts after your recent facial. Keep in mind that everyone’s skin is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. If in doubt, consulting a dermatologist would ensure you’re taking the right steps to keep your skin healthy and irritation-free. Additionally, using soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizers and keeping the area protected from harsh environmental factors will support the healing process. Remember self-care is about how your skin heals, so give it time and the right conditions to recover.
