01
Preparing for the facial
- Discard retinol or acids for a week — no exfoliating 3 days prior; it can make the skin sensitive.
- Avoid waxing or tanning for 24 hours.
- Try to avoid heavy makeup; it's not a hassle if you can't — I will remove it.
- Remove any necklaces.
- Get cozy! Robes are provided to your comfort level.
02
Can I still get a facial while using…?
- Contraindications: tretinoin and accutane (must stop use for 6 months).
- No injections, botox, laser, etc. for a month prior.
- Reach out for further info if you're using any prescribed dermatologist medication.
- I work with inflamed acne but can't diagnose your skin — see a dermatologist for serious conditions.
03
I don't know what products to use at home
- A consultation and skin analysis will guide us into the correct at-home routine.
- This lets me see your skin type and start you on the right journey — important to know what you're already doing.
04
Expectations for your first facial
- Expect thorough questions in the beginning so I know what we're working with.
- I'll go step by step in depth with each product we are using and why.
- Double cleanse, exfoliate, extract if needed, mask, neck and shoulder massage, serums, moisturizer.
05
Is undressing required?
- Undressing waist up is optional — it's to your comfort level.
- It helps with the neck and shoulder area, but it's not required.
