Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you've recently had Botox injections, it's advisable to postpone your facial appointment. It's recommended to wait at least 48 hours after the injections before scheduling your facial. Engaging in facial massage too soon after Botox can potentially displace the injectable to unintended areas.
  • It's best to refrain from waxing, threading, or tanning 24 hours before your facial. These procedures may lead to sensitivities and potential reactions to the products applied during your treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning bed use for a week prior to your facial, if feasible. Sun damage/sun burn and skincare are not compatible.
  • Schedule your facial appointment just before your next eyelash extension fill. The steam, hot towels, and products used during the facial may impact the lash glue and your extensions.
  • Please wear comfortable attire and take off rings, bracelets, necklaces, and dangling earrings to prevent any products from getting on them.

  • Do not work out right after facial. It's best to steer clear of sweating and taking a hot shower immediately after your facial. Doing so could potentially reactivate enzymes or treatment products used during the facial, possibly causing irritation to your skin.
  • Avoid exfoliating for 3-5 days following your facial. Your skin has already undergone exfoliation and deep pore cleansing, so additional or excessive exfoliation can lead to sensitivities or irritation.
  • Avoid using any at-home chemical treatments or products for 12-24 hours, unless instructed otherwise. Harsh chemical products might adversely interact with the products utilized during your facial treatment. During the initial 24 hours post-facial, using fewer products yields better results.

  • Reduce your sun exposure and take precautions by wearing SPF.
