Best Practices for Your Treatment
Best practices for your facial treatment
Here are some things you can do to make your facial appointment run seamlessly:
1. Come fresh faced
There's no need to wear any makeup to your facial appointment. We'll just take it off anyways! Waterproof eye makeup and even sometimes regular mascara takes some time and scrubbing to remove, so it's always best to come fresh faced!
2. Fill out your intake form accurately
I get it, nobody likes to fill out paperwork. But the short questionnaire you fill out when you book your appointment contains all of the information I need to give you the safest and most effective treatments for your unique biology! So many different factors can affect your skin, so the more I know about your lifestyle, health, environment, and stress levels, the better I can treat you. Remember, the skin is your body's largest organ, so we want to make sure everything we do to it will benefit its' overall health. Rest assured, all of the information in your intake form is ALWAYS kept private and only can be accessed by myself.
3. Come on time to your appointment
Life happens! I am totally understanding of that. Running a little late once or twice just means you're human, and I will always try to be accommodating of that. However, to keep my other appointments on track, please understand that I may not always be able to make up for time lost from running late. As accommodating as I love to be, I must also be fair and on time for my other clients. If you do happen to be late, please let me know as soon as possible! Please see my Policies for more information about late appointments, cancelations, and no-shows. Overall, your experience will be the best and most relaxing if you allow me to give you my full and dedicated attention by being on time to your appointments!
4. Follow proper pre- and post-care instructions
Depending on the treatment you receive, I may instruct you to avoid certain things before and/or after your treatment. It's in your skin's best interest to do so! As relaxing as facials are, we are also sometimes changing the skins' pH or resurfacing the skin. In those cases, it's really important to show your skin the proper love at home. Your results depend on it!
5. Relax!
This is the most important item on this list. Your facial is the perfect time to let go of the things that burden you in your everyday life. My goal is to always make sure that you don't just receive a great facial, but that you also have an excellent overall experience. So please, when you come to your appointment, be prepared to leave the outside chaos and stress at the door and let your mind drift to your happy place.
