@rhiannonreimagined: I’ve started my PCOS/PMOS facial hair removal journey with my Philips Lumea 🥹 It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years, but I didn’t realise how much there was to navigate! Tomorrow is my second session, so I thought I’d share what I’m doing with my skin around my treatment days. The IPL laser can leave skin sore and irritated, so for the day before and after my first session, I removed any products with active ingredients from my routine, and focused on hydration and barrier support. After my session, I kept it as basic as possible. Once the initial heat and sting had subsided, I used my hypochloris acid spray, eye cream, and a hydrating, barrier supporting moisturiser, and that was that. I used the same products the next morning to avoid irritating my sensitive skin. 24 hours after treatment, I added back in more of my hydrating skincare product steps, and 48 hours later, I was back to my regular routine and including actives again. Treatment is every 2 weeks, so a day or 2 either side of this isn’t going to impact my skincare journey too much, and it will be worth it to see the IPL results and feel the benefits of not having to shave my face every single day 🫶 #pcos #pmos #hirsutism #philipslumea #laserhairremoval
