The ideal facial frequency depends on your skin type and specific concerns. However, a good general guideline is to get a facial every 4-6 weeks. For those with oily or acne-prone skin, more frequent facials (every 2-3 weeks) might be recommended. Conversely, individuals with dry or sensitive skin might benefit from facials every 6-8 weeks. During your consultation, I can assess your skin and recommend a personalized facial schedule.

There isn't a lot of preparation required for a facial, but here are a few tips to optimize the experience:

Skip harsh products: Avoid using any strong exfoliating treatments or chemical peels in the week leading up to your facial. These can make your skin more sensitive to facial products.

Arrive with clean skin: While I will cleanse your face at the beginning of the facial, arriving with makeup-free skin allows for a more thorough cleaning and better absorption of the treatment products.

Inform me of any allergies or concerns: Let me know about any allergies you have to skincare products or any specific concerns you'd like to address during the facial.

Is there any downtime after a facial?

Most facials are designed to be relaxing and rejuvenating with minimal downtime. You might experience some temporary redness or sensitivity after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours. It's important to avoid strenuous activity or excessive sweating for 24 hours after your facial to allow your skin to recover.

To maintain the healthy glow of your facial, it's important to establish a good at-home skincare routine. I can recommend products suited to your specific skin type and concerns. Additionally, protecting your skin from the sun with a daily SPF moisturizer is crucial for lasting results.
