Did I screw up?
I am very new to microneedling. A SkinSpirit opened at my local Nordstrom and as an Icon I received a gift card. I did a first micro needling with growth factors. because I didn’t want a facial and had wanted to do microneedling. Afterwards they gave me a take home package that included a hyaluronic acid, growth factor serum and accelerator. The esthetician went over the specific follow up and I followed them. I bought the three pack. Then I started looking into it more, mostly in this sub. Went in for the second one and noted they use AnteAgeMD Growth Factors and Cytokines and the Skin Pen. After the first time I used just the hyaluronic the first day and added the other two products and sunscreen day 2-5 per the instructions. My skin felt so dry. So I asked if I could add moisturizer. She said Sente Dermal Care was ok and bought a small one. But we didn’t really go over the instructions. I did the treatment yesterday afternoon and last night I washed my face with cool water and gentle soap and immediately put the dermal repair on. Then I read the instructions that came with the aftercare kit . Did I wash my face too soon and did I mess things up adding the moisturizer too soon? Are these good products?
