How to Prepare for Your Facial at Healthy Skin Spa

You do not need to do much to prepare for a facial at Healthy Skin Spa. In fact, arriving with an accurate picture of what your skin has been experiencing is more useful than trying to make your skin “perfect” beforehand.

Keep your routine normal and gentle

You can arrive with or without makeup. I will cleanse your skin as part of the treatment. If your appointment may include exfoliation, avoid experimenting with a new strong active immediately beforehand.

Tell me about recent sun exposure

If you are sunburned or your skin is unusually irritated from sun exposure, please tell me. We may need to modify the treatment or reschedule certain exfoliating services.

Share medications, procedures and sensitivities

Please tell me about prescription skincare, medications that affect the skin, known allergies or sensitivities, recent injections, peels, laser treatments, waxing or other procedures. This information helps me choose appropriate products and modalities.

You do not have to stop every active automatically

Whether retinoids, acids or other actives should be paused depends on the product and the treatment planned. If you are unsure, contact me before your appointment rather than guessing.

Come as you are

Wear comfortable clothing and arrive on time. Healthy Skin Spa is located in Suite 202 on the second floor. Your appointment includes time for consultation so we can talk through what your skin is doing and what you want from the visit.

Your treatment is not predetermined

I use modalities such as LED, microcurrent, galvanic, dermaplaning, facial lymphatic drainage, gua sha, facial cupping and high frequency when appropriate. You do not need to decide which ones you need before you arrive.

The best preparation is simply to give me good information. From there, I can customize the facial around your skin that day.
