Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the 24 to 48 hours leading up to your visit so your skin is plump and receptive. Use your current Skincare products that we have recommended or very gentle non-stripping cleansers Arrive Clean (or Ready): While your esthetician will cleanse your face, arriving free of heavy makeup makes the transition smoother. Communicate: Bring a mental or physical list of the products and medications you use so your esthetician can tailor the session safely. Be sure to communicate to your estheticians any changes before each Facial.
