How to Prep for a Facial at Healthy Skin Spa
At Healthy Skin Spa, we believe in creating a relaxing and rejuvenating experience for every client. To ensure you get the most out of your facial, there are a few simple steps you can take before your appointment. Whether it’s your first facial or you’re a returning client, proper preparation will help maximize the benefits of your treatment and allow us to address your specific skincare needs.
Here’s a guide to help you prepare for your facial at Healthy Skin Spa:
1. Cleanse Your Skin
While we’ll take care of cleansing your skin during your facial, it's helpful to avoid wearing makeup when you come in for your treatment. Try to avoid heavy makeup or skincare products on the day of your appointment, especially those with oils, as this can interfere with the treatment. The goal is to allow your skin to breathe and be free of any barriers so that the products we apply can penetrate effectively.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure
If possible, avoid excessive sun exposure in the 24 to 48 hours leading up to your facial. Sunburned or irritated skin can affect the way your skin reacts to certain treatments, so it’s best to protect your skin with SPF before your facial. If you’ve recently had a lot of sun exposure, please let us know before your facial so we can adjust the treatment accordingly.
3. Skip the Tanning or Waxing
If you're planning to have a facial with exfoliation (such as dermaplaning), be sure not to tan or wax your skin within 48 hours before your appointment. Both tanning and waxing can make your skin more sensitive, and this may result in irritation or discomfort during the facial.
4. Hydrate Your Skin
Keep your skin well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and use a light moisturizer to ensure your skin is properly hydrated. Hydrated skin will respond better to the facial treatment, allowing for smoother, more radiant results.
5. Communicate Your Skin Concerns
Before your facial, we encourage you to share any specific skin concerns you may have. Whether you're dealing with acne, dryness, sensitivity, or aging concerns, let us know so we can tailor the treatment to your unique needs. A personalized approach will ensure that you leave feeling refreshed and with visible results.
results.
6. Arrive On Time To Relax
Plan to arrive no more than five to ten minutes early for your appointment. This will give you time to use the restroom located to the right of the elevator on both the first and second floor. Taking a few moments to breathe deeply and unwind will set the tone for the peaceful, rejuvenating experience ahead.
7. Dress Comfortably
Facials are all about relaxation, so wear comfortable clothing. Depending on the treatment, you may be lying down for a while, so we want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your time at Healthy Skin Spa.
8. Don’t Overdo Your Skincare Routine
On the day of your facial, it’s best to keep your skincare routine simple. Avoid using strong exfoliants or products with active ingredients like retinol or acids before your appointment. These can irritate the skin and may impact how your skin reacts to the facial treatment.
Relax and Enjoy the Experience
Now that you’re prepped for your facial at Healthy Skin Spa, the most important step is to relax and enjoy the experience. Let us take care of the rest—whether it’s through a calming, hydrating facial or a more targeted treatment, our goal is to provide you with a soothing and transformative session that leaves your skin glowing.
We look forward to helping you achieve your healthiest skin yet. If you have any questions about prepping for your facial or would like to book your appointment, feel free to reach out to us at Healthy Skin Spa.
