Pre- FAcial Treatment FAQs

    • Fill out e-forms

    • Pause exfoliation products (scrubs, AHAs, BHAs) and shaving 48 hours before

    • Stop using retinol 1 week before

    • Avoid sunbathing and tanning before treatment

    • Drink plenty of water before visit

    • Avoid caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before appointment

    • Avoid eating a full meal right before

    • Arrive with a clean face

    • Wear loose, comfortable clothes

    • Remove jewelry before treatment

  • Exfoliating products like scrubs, AHAs, and BHAs can make your skin more sensitive. Giving them a break for at least 48 hours before your facial ensures your skin is in the best condition for treatment.

  • If you use retinol regularly, take a break for a week before your facial. This mini-vacation for your skin helps reduce sensitivity, making your experience even more enjoyable.

  • Nope! Avoid sunbathing or tanning before your treatment. Sunburned skin is traumatized and inflamed, and while we can still perform treatments, they will be adjusted to support healing and reduce inflammation.

  • Very important! Drinking plenty of water before your visit helps keep your skin hydrated and happy, enhancing the overall results of your facial.

  • Yes, consider cutting out caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before your appointment. Also, try not to eat a full meal right before—keeping it light ensures you’re comfortable and relaxed.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You’ll be undressing from the waist up for the facial, so cozy attire is best.

  • It’s best to leave your jewelry at home or be ready to remove it before your treatment. Necklaces and other accessories can get in the way of your pampering session.

  • Feel free to reach out to our team anytime! We're here to ensure you have the best experience possible. You can contact us via our contact form or text. We're always happy to help!

  • We understand that things happen and sometimes plans change. If you need to cancel your appointment, please contact us immediately to reschedule. Late cancellations will incur a laundry tax of $25, and if any product has been dispensed, an additional charge of $25 will apply.

  • We have a strict no-show policy to ensure fair scheduling for all our clients. If you do not show up for your appointment without prior notification, you will be invoiced for the full amount of the service. Additionally, no-show clients will be restricted from online booking and scheduling until the invoice is paid.

post-facial treatment faq

    • Use sunscreen with SPF 30 for daily protection.

    • Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

    • Use a mild cleanser and treat your skin gently.

    • Moisturize regularly to maintain skin health.

    • Avoid wearing makeup for a day.

    • Skip heavy workouts for a day or two.

    • Avoid direct sunlight to protect sensitive skin.

    • Change your pillowcase regularly.

    • Refrain from touching your face.

    • Avoid popping pimples.

    • Skip exfoliating for a few days.

    • Avoid hot showers and saunas on the same day.

  • After your facial, your skin is more sensitive and needs protection from harmful rays. Opt for a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 that offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, and HEV rays. Make it a daily habit to keep your skin safe and healthy!

  • Water is your skin's best friend. Drink plenty of it to keep toxins at bay and your skin glowing bright. Hydrated skin is happy skin!

  • Use a mild cleanser and treat your skin gently, like a delicate flower petal. Pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing. Gentleness is key!

  • Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Think of it as giving your skin a comforting hug. Keeping your skin well-moisturized will help maintain its health and glow.

  • Give your skin a breather and enjoy a makeup-free day right after your facial. Your skin will appreciate the freedom, and you'll feel liberated!

  • Yes! Consider this an official excuse to skip the gym for a day or two post-facial. Heavy workouts can lead to sweating and open pores, which we want to keep clear and happy.

  • It's best to play hide-and-seek with the sun and avoid direct sunlight after your facial to protect your sensitive skin.

  • Regularly changing your pillowcase provides your skin with a fresh, clean bed to rest on every night. Clean sleeping habits are essential for healthy skin.

  • Adopt a hands-free approach! After a facial, your pores are open, so avoid touching your face to keep unwanted bacteria away.

  • If a pesky pimple pops up, resist the urge to pop it. Patience is a virtue here, and popping can lead to unwanted marks and infections.

  • Give your skin a mini vacation from scrubbing or exfoliating for a few days after your facial. Your skin needs time to heal and rejuvenate.

  • Take a break from hot showers and saunas on the same day as your facial. Think of it as a spa day for your pores—relaxed and calm!
