Who can benefit from a facial?

No matter how sensitive or hard to treat your skin is, you can still benefit from a facial because facials are customized to individuals. If you have sensitive skin, I will use gentle cleansers, mild exfoliants, and hydrating masks. If your goal is to clear up acne, we can discuss a plan for your treatments, home care, and even diet. Be sure to communicate clearly with me on what you are expecting from your facial treatments so we can do our best to get the results you want.

How should I prepare for a facial?

Come to your facial appointment early so you have time to fill out paperwork and be as relaxed as possible. You can come to the facial with or without makeup. Washing your makeup off prior is not necessary and if washed recently before your facial can actually give a false skin analysis result. Wearing too much makeup (is totally fine but maybe not on the day of a facial) because I don’t want to spend extra time removing makeup when you only have a limited number of minutes in a facial. Coming in with a face that hasn’t been washed recently with light to no makeup is great. Be prepared to fill out paperwork. Some questions I ask is about your current home care. So make sure you have an idea of what you are using and the brand name of it.

What can I expect during my facial?

Cleansing, skin analysis, before and after pictures, exfoliation, massage, extractions, use of modalities, and application of products targeted for your skin type can all be used in a facial given the amount of time you have scheduled. During the facial I might ask questions about your health, any medications you’re taking, and what products you currently use.

What about home care?

When you leave my shop after a facial, your skin will most likely be glowing, fresh, and well hydrated. However, depending on what was done and used in the facial could make your skin experience some redness or tenderness in the areas that were worked on. I will have products available for you that I recommend based on your skin and what we talked about to take home and start or add to your current skin care regimen.
