SSB Pre-Treatment Guide

Hey there! We're stoked you've chosen us for your facial treatment, good choice, by the way ;). Before we get started, let's chat about how to get your skin ready for its big day:

Open Book Policy: We're all friends here, right? So if you have any allergies or skin issues, don't keep them secret! Fill us in via our e-forms - Think of it as a quick quiz about the fabulous you!

Exfoliation Hiatus: Hit pause on your favorite scrub, AHAs, and BHAs and shaving for at least 48 hours before your appointment. Your skin will be throwing a thank-you party!

Retinol Recess: If you're a retinol regular, consider giving it a week off before your facial. It's like a mini-vacation for your skin, reducing sensitivity and making your experience even more relaxing.

Sun-Kissed, Not Sun-Burnt: We love a good glow, but let's keep the sunbathing and tanning to a strong ZERO before your treatment. (Please note sunburned skin is traumatized and inflamed skin. While treatments can be performed, they will be modified to support healing and reducing inflammation.)

H2O is the Way to Go: Remember, water is your skin's best friend! A few extra sips before your visit will have your skin doing a happy dance.

Snack Smarter: Consider ditching caffeine and booze 24 hours before your appointment. Your skin will be swooning! And try not to eat a full meal right before - you don't want a food coma cramping your spa style.

Clean Slate: When you come in, think of your face as a blank canvas, fresh, clean, and ready for some pampering.

Dress Down to Bliss Out: Think loose, comfy clothes. You'll be undressing from the waist up for the facial, so let's keep it cozy!

Leave the Bling Behind: Best to leave your jewelry at home or be ready to remove it. After all, necklaces shouldn't get in the way of an amazing facial.

See you soon!

SSB Post-Treatment guide

Hey there! First things first, an gigantic THANK YOU for trusting us with your most precious asset - your skin. We realize it's far more than a 'skin-deep' decision - that's no small dab of moisturizer!

Here at SSB, we don't believe in the 'set it and forget it' mantra. Absolutely not our jam! And you, dear friend, are not just another face in the crowd or a swipe at the register. You're a part of the SSB neighborhood and always there if you need to borrow a cup of sugar— a cup of sugar scrub, of course!

Our Mission (not impossible) is to be your go-to hotline, your 411 – before, during, and after all our services at the SSB Studio. With that said, come on up to the porch, and let's talk about maintaining your skin health and radiance post-treatment.

Hop on the Sunscreen Bandwagon: Opt for sunscreens with an SPF of 30, offering broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB, and HEV rays! Make it a habit to apply sunscreen daily for the utmost safety and well-being of your skin.

Hydrate Like a Pro: Water is your skin's best friend. Keep those toxins at bay and your skin glowing bright by staying well-hydrated.

Embrace the Gentle Touch: Treat your skin as gently as a delicate flower petal after your facial. Use a mild cleanser and dry your skin by gently patting it with a towel– don't rub.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: Moisturizer is your skin’s best friend. It's the skin equivalent of a comforting hug!

Experience the Magic of Makeup-Free Days: Let your skin breathe and enjoy the freedom of a makeup-free day right after your facial. You'll be amazed at how liberating it feels.

Avoid Strenuous Exercise: 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 – let's keep those pores clear and happy.

Play Hide-and-Seek with the Sun: Avoid direct sunlight after your facial.

Clean Sleeping Habits: Regularly changing your pillowcase is like providing your skin with a fresh, clean bed to rest on every night.

Adopt a Hands-Free Approach: After a facial, your pores are open. Avoid touching your face to keep unwanted bacteria away.

Resist the Temptation to Pop: If a pesky pimple pops up post-facial, remember that patience is a virtue and resist the urge to pop it.

Exfoliation Haitus Continues: Give your skin a mini vacation from scrubbing or exfoliating for a few days after your facial.

Sauna & Hot Shower Sabbatical: Take a break from hot showers and saunas on the same day as your facial. Just like exercise, think of it as a spa day for your pores. Relaxed and calm.

AND Voila, you're all set to support healthy, radiant skin while promoting balance and correction. And never shy away from texting us with any questions or concerns (240) 805-0625. We’ve got you covered!
