Facial prep

To get the most out of your facial and ensure optimal results, please follow the guidelines below before your appointment.

3–5 Days Before Your Appointment

Pause Active Skincare Discontinue use of:

• Retinol or Retin-A
• Glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acids
• Strong exfoliants
• Prescription acne treatments (unless otherwise directed by your provider)

These products can make the skin more sensitive.

Avoid Waxing or Hair Removal Do not wax or use depilatory creams on the face at least 5–7 days prior.

Limit Sun Exposure Avoid tanning beds and excessive sun exposure to prevent skin sensitivity.

24 Hours Before

Skip Exfoliation Avoid facial scrubs, peels, or at-home exfoliating treatments.

Hydrate Well Drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated from within.

The Day of Your Appointment

• Arrive with clean skin if possible.
• Avoid heavy makeup (though I can cleanse your skin upon arrival).
• Avoid applying self-tanner to the face.
• Men should shave at least 3–4 hours before their appointment (not immediately before).
