Avoiding Alcohol and Caffeine

Alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate the skin and increase sensitivity, which is why it’s often recommended to avoid these substances for at least 24 hours after treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or laser procedures. At SOS Wax and Skincare, clients should be informed of the importance of staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol and caffeine post-treatment to support their skin’s recovery. Encouraging clients to drink plenty of water instead helps to maintain skin hydration and supports the healing process. By avoiding these dehydrating substances, clients can reduce the risk of prolonged redness and irritation, helping to ensure that their skin heals quickly and effectively.
