Your home care routine is a process that sustains and protects this renewal and rebuilds your skin's health every day. So, how can you maximize your skin's potential by bringing these two powers together? As Dr. Melis \u00dclger, <strong>Istanbul, Kadikoy<\/strong>\u2018In this guide, I explain in detail the steps and strategies behind this perfect synergy, which I always explain to my patients in my clinic in St. Petersburg, Turkey.<\/p>\n<p><!-- yeni-yazi-koprusu --><\/p>\n<p>In what order should you apply the products? <a href=\"https:\/\/drmelisulger.com\/en\/skincare-routine\/\">Skincare Routine<\/a> I explained it step by step in my post.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hydrafacial_Bir_%E2%80%9CReset%E2%80%9D_Dugmesidir_Cilt_Bakiminin_Neden_Temelidir\"><\/span>Hydrafacial Bir &#8220;Reset&#8221; D\u00fc\u011fmesidir: Cilt Bak\u0131m\u0131n\u0131n Neden Temelidir?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To understand why Hydrafacial is such a powerful basic treatment, let's look at what it does to our skin. Our skin is constantly exposed to environmental pollutants, makeup residue and stress, especially in the city. As the skin's self-renewal cycle slows down, dead cells accumulate on the surface. This layer makes the skin look dull, dull and rough. More importantly, this buildup of dead cells and oil acts as a \u201cwall\u201d that prevents the expensive serums and moisturizers you use from reaching the lower layers of your skin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drmelisulger.com\/en\/treatments\/hydrafacial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"about mentions\"><strong>Hydrafacial<\/strong><\/a>, solves exactly this problem with its patented Vortex technology:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cleans and Peel:<\/strong> It gently removes that lifeless, dead skin layer on the skin surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It purifies:<\/strong> It removes blackheads and excess sebum by pulling the inside of the pores with a painless vacuum technology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nourishes and Moisturizes:<\/strong> It infuses valuable nutrients such as antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid into cleansed and ready-to-absorb skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In short, Hydrafacial practically returns your skin to its \"factory settings\". It creates the smooth, clean canvas needed to bring the effectiveness of the products you use at home up to 100%.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hydrafaciali_Bir_Yatirim_Olarak_Dusunmek_Ev_Bakimi_Neden_Bu_Kadar_Kritik\"><\/span>Hydrafacial&#8217;\u0131 Bir Yat\u0131r\u0131m Olarak D\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmek: Ev Bak\u0131m\u0131 Neden Bu Kadar Kritik?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A Hydrafacial session lasts about 45 minutes. But what happens to your skin for the remaining 715 hours of the month? This is where your home care routine comes in. The only way to protect your investment in your Hydrafacial session and maintain its effect until the next session is to follow the correct home care protocol that your physician has planned for you. A skin cleansed and purified with Hydrafacial is ready to absorb everything you put on it like a sponge.

Our aim is to maintain the cleanliness of the skin gained with Hydrafacial, but not to damage the skin's natural moisture barrier. Avoid harsh, sulfated cleansers that dry your skin and disrupt the pH level. Always cleanse your skin morning and evening with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type (gel for oily skin, creamy or milky for dry skin).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adim_2_Tedavi_Edici_Serumlar_Aktif_Bilesenler\"><\/span>Step 2: Therapeutic Serums (Active Ingredients)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After Hydrafacial, your skin is most receptive to absorbing serums. At this stage, you should use the active ingredients recommended by your physician for your skin goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vitamin C (in the morning):<\/strong> Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, protects the skin against free radicals throughout the day, brightens the complexion and supports collagen production.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyaluronic Acid (Morning\/Evening):<\/strong> Ideal for maintaining the moisture effect of Hydrafacial. It draws intense moisture to the skin and provides a plump appearance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):<\/strong> Reduces the appearance of pores, balances sebum production and strengthens the skin barrier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retinol (at night):<\/strong> It is the gold standard of skin regeneration. Adding retinol to your nightly routine, after acclimatizing your skin as recommended by your physician, tremendously supports the anti-aging and tissue healing effects of Hydrafacial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adim_3_Nemlendirme_Cilt_Bariyerini_Guclendirme\"><\/span>Step 3: Moisturizing (Strengthening the Skin Barrier)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After the cleansing and serum steps, it is very important to lock in the skin's moisture and repair its protective barrier. A moisturizer suitable for your skin type, containing ceramides, peptides and hyaluronic acid, helps the skin to maintain the healthy, plump and supple structure it has gained with Hydrafacial.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adim_4_Gunesten_Korunma_Mutlak_Zorunluluk\"><\/span>Step 4: Sun Protection (Absolute Necessity)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the most critical of all steps. Hydrafacial gently exfoliates the dead skin layer on the surface of the skin. This means that the fresh skin underneath becomes more sensitive to the sun and more prone to blemishes. If you don't use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, ideally SPF 50+, post-session (and indeed every day!), you can reverse all the benefits of the treatment and cause it to return to your skin as blemishes.

Going home and doing additional harsh physical (granular) or chemical (high levels of acid) peels breaks down the skin's protective barrier, leading to hypersensitivity and redness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping Sunscreen:<\/strong> It bears repeating that this means throwing away all the investment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drying the Skin<\/strong> The biggest mistake people with oily skin make is drying the skin.
