You may bathe normally, but be cautious of getting soap on your healing face. Always apply the post-recovery ointment immediately after showering. Your skin should be washed frequently the first few days with only cool tap water and soft cotton balls. DO NOT USE ANY CLEANSERS; SOAPS OR TONERS while the skin is still raw. Once the skin starts to heal, you will start to use a prescribed skincare regiment that will optimize healing which includes a face wash, recovery cream, and sunscreen with SPF 50.
