According to the Cosmetic Skin Clinic, you should also never touch your face after getting Botox. This includes cleansing, moisturizing, and applying makeup. In other words, it's important that you leave your face completely alone for the first four hours. After that, you can return to normal but you need to be extra cautious during the first 24 hours post-treatment to ensure you're not being too rough with your skin. SkinVida adds that you should also avoid any kind of facial treatments, from facials to brow waxes, for 14 days. Unsurprisingly, they also say you should never wear anything restrictive or tight on your head, like a hat or swimming cap.
Lastly, Dr. Rekha Tailor of Health & Aesthetics says you should never be drinking alcohol straight after having Botox. Alcohol is known to cause blood thinning, which can affect the healing process and potentially even your final results. Wait two days before you celebrate your treatment with wine.
