Dos and Don’ts Before a Facial

Do:

Avoid Sun Exposure Minimize your sun exposure for a few days prior to your treatment. Sunburned skin can be overly sensitive and may need to forego certain products or manipulations typically used during a facial.

Cleanse Gently & Avoid Scrubs During your skin care routine, stick to gentle cleansers and avoid harsh exfoliants or abrasive scrubs at least 48 hours before your appointment. This way you prevent any micro-abrasions or irritation that could be exacerbated during the facial.

Stay Hydrated Drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your facial helps hydrate your skin from the inside out. Hydrated skin is more supple and responsive to skin care treatments, making the effects of the facial more pronounced.

Don’t:

Use Retinol Products Retinol and other potent ingredients should be avoided a week before your facial. These substances can sensitize the skin, increasing the likelihood of irritation from the facial treatments.

Wax or Shave Try not to wax or shave your face at least 24 - 48 hours before your facial. These hair removal methods can leave your skin vulnerable to irritation when certain facial treatments are applied.

Heavy Makeup Going makeup-free on the day of your facial is ideal. It reduces the time your esthetician needs to clean your skin and allows for an immediate start on more therapeutic or moisturizing steps, enhancing your overall facial experience.
