Pre & Post Facial Care Instructions

Before Your Facial:

  (there is an additional fee for make-up removal)

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning, or waxing for 48 hours prior.
  
  

• Let your esthetician know about any new medications, health changes, or skin sensitivities.
  
  

• Drink plenty of water and come relaxed — this is your time to reset and rejuvenate.
  
  

After Your Facial:
