Getting a facial can be a wonderful way to relax and rejuvenate in addition to having your skin professionally treated. Just how much you enjoy your facial experience or not can hinge on a few important things that you should do before, during, and after your facial.
Tips for Having a Relaxing, Effective Facial
Follow the tips below, and you’ll have a great facial experience each time.
Choose Carefully
Making sure you have a first-rate facial starts with choosing the right place to go to. If you have no idea where to go start by asking your friends if they have recommendations. Look on websites like Yelp to see reviews of spas in your area. Ask another beauty professional, like your hairstylist, if they have an esthetician they can recommend.
Don’t think that just because a place is pricey that it is better (and vice versa). Don’t be swayed too much by how a spa looks. What’s more important is the service you receive from the moment you call on the phone to ask questions to how your esthetician treats you during the treatment. Sometimes you have to go with your gut.
Come Prepared
Be sure to have a list ready (or know by heart) all the medications you are taking. Also, you need to share with your esthetician what allergies you have, if you have ever had a negative reaction to a skincare product or treatment, and if you are pregnant (or trying to get pregnant). Withholding any of that information can have a negative impact on your facial. Be honest also about what skincare products you use or don’t use at home.
There is no need to be embarrassed about sharing any of this information. Your esthetician is not judging you. And it’s important to arrive on time or even early for your appointment so you are not rushed. Read more…
