Integrate Restormé's Restoring Crème into your skincare routine to maximize its benefits during the first stage of your healing journey. Apply it in the morning and evening to the skin 2-4 weeks before a planned procedure to prepare your skin. Post-procedure, gently apply the crème to the surrounding skin to help diminish the appearance of bruising and inflammation. Once the skin has fully healed, continue using the crème directly on the scar in the morning and evening. For enhanced results, follow up with Restormé's Recharging Emulsion, which is best used in the second stage of your healing journey. Remember, this crème is not intended for use on stitches or broken skin. To experience its full potential, gently massage the crème into your skin using upward, circular motions until fully absorbed.
