HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FACIAL APPOINTMENT

• Skip any strong at-home facial treatments the week before your

appointment and any exfoliation treatments a few days prior.

​

                                             • Discontinue any Retin-A, Retinol, Adapalene, Tretinoin, Renova,

                                             Hydroquinone, AHA (alpha hydroxy acids), BHA (beta hydroxy acids) 

                                                                  1 WEEK PRIOR TO YOUR FACIAL APPOINTMENT!​

​

• Stay out of the sun and away from tanning for five days before your

facial. Sun damage and skin do not mix and should always be avoided;

but especially before your service.

​

• Know the names of the skin care products you are using at home.

Bring a list if you need to. Having these details will help me make

recommendations for products you may want to add or delete from

our at-home routine.

​

• Let your esthetician know any medications, medical conditions,

and/or past skin conditions you may have had. Even over-the-counter

medications can affect your skin, so it is good for them to know what

may be contributing to your concerns and the way your skin reacts to

certain products.

​

• Are you getting your skin ready for a big event? If you've never had

a facial before and don't know how your skin will respond, it is

recommended scheduling an appointment about six weeks in advance

with a follow-up appointment closer to your event date. This way you

have time to address any negative skin reactions and get the

maximum results from your service.

​

• Be prepared to discuss your skin concerns and what your skin goals

might be. Your esthetician is a licensed expert in skin and skin care so

they will help you with a specific regime of treatments and products

to achieve your goals.
