There’s a lot to love about microneedling. Ask anyone who’s tried it and reaped the benefits of a smoother skin texture and a brighter-looking complexion. Microneedling involves tiny needles puncturing the skin to help stimulate natural collagen production, promoting a rejuvenating effect. But how can you take the best care of your skin post-procedure to help encourage the best results?
You need to protect your skin in the following days after your treatment as the skin heals. Whether you’re a newbie to microneedling or have been doing it for years, the following tips can help you take care of your skin properly, including using plant-based EGF skin care products to help further enhance visible results.
1. Choose a Gentle Cleanser
Your regular, everyday face cleanser may cause irritation, redness, and dryness if it’s not gentle enough. If you want your skin to look radiant and fresh, try a gentle cleanser, such as a high-quality micellar water. Choose an alcohol-free, oil-free micellar water to gently remove impurities.
Here’s a tip: Seek a unique base ingredient in your micellar water, such as soft Icelandic water that’s geologically filtered. Pure Icelandic water contains a lower concentration of calcium and magnesium, which are minerals that can dry out or irritate your skin.
2. Use a Potent Plant-Based EGF Serum
To help speed up recovery and improve the overall appearance of your skin post-procedure, seek out a serum with high concentrations of plant-based Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) from barley plants, like an EGF serum with minimal, pure ingredients. This product enhances your skin’s moisture levels and supports natural collagen production to help your skin look smooth and healthy. Plus, some report improved hydration and skin texture after using growth factors in conjunction with microneedling.
Another tip: While you wouldn’t use a vitamin C or retinol serum immediately after microneedling treatments, you can still add a beneficial serum layer to your skin care routine. A fragrance-free, oil-free, and alcohol-free serum with minimal ingredients that includes barley EGF is ideal.
3. Be Sure to Moisturize
A clean moisturizer with minimal ingredients helps hydrate, plump, and nourish your skin. Your facial skin may feel drier than normal after microneedling, so a hydrating cream can feel refreshing. Ingredients to look for that support your skin’s natural collagen production include barley EGF, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich vitamin E. A lightweight, hydrating, oil-free face cream would be perfect.
Hint: EGF from barley is a moisture-binding signaling protein that encourages natural collagen and elastin production in the skin—and it works for all skin types.
4. Avoid Potentially Damaging Irritants and Products
After your microneedling session, your skin works hard to heal itself and create newer, firmer skin. Because your skin is in healing mode at this time, it’s more susceptible to the sun’s UV rays, bacteria, and chemical or physical exfoliators (such as exfoliating creams and facial scrubs). Avoid alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), retinol, and vitamin C scrubs for the first several days after microneedling.
With a combination of microneedling and the best skin care products afterward, you are helping your skin heal and boosting hydration and moisture retention—so your skin looks firmer, plumper, and smoother.
