Introduction:
DefenAge products utilise defensins, aiming to rejuvenate and restore youthful skin. To optimise the benefits and ensure skin safety, adhere to the following guidelines when incorporating DefenAge into your routine.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours of New Product Use):
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before using any new product to check for adverse reactions.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep the skin moisturised. This assists in the skin’s natural regeneration process.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Freshly treated skin can be more sensitive. Limit direct sun exposure and always apply a broad-spectrum SPF when going outside.
Continued Care (First Week):
- Consistent Routine: Follow the recommended usage instructions for each DefenAge product, ensuring a consistent routine.
- Limit Other Active Ingredients: If you're integrating DefenAge into an existing skincare routine, be cautious about mixing with other active ingredients like retinols or strong acids, as this could irritate the skin.
- Monitor Skin's Reaction: It's normal for skin to undergo an adjustment period when introducing new products. However, if irritation persists beyond a week, consider reducing frequency or discontinuing use.
Potential Issues to Monitor:
- Irritation or Redness: Some tingling or mild redness can be a normal reaction. However, if severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
- Breakouts: Some users might experience breakouts when starting a new product. This often resolves as the skin adjusts, but if it persists, it might indicate a sensitivity or reaction to an ingredient.
- Unusual Texture or Dryness: If your skin becomes excessively dry or its texture changes, this might signal that the product isn't suitable for your skin type or that you're using it too frequently.
Follow-Up Appointments:
If you have concerns about your skin's reaction or if you wish to explore a comprehensive skincare routine further, consider scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist or skincare specialist familiar with DefenAge products.
