What should I avoid before getting a facial?

Facials often involve deep cleansing, chemical peels, exfoliation, and other active skincare ingredients. For this reason, it is best to simplify your skincare routine about a week before your facial. Avoiding strong exfoliants, scrubs, and other potentially irritating products can help minimize the risk of sensitivity or an unwanted reaction during your treatment. It is also recommended to avoid waxing, threading, or other facial hair-removal treatments before your appointment, as these services can leave the skin more sensitive and increase the possibility of irritation. It is also important to limit excessive sun exposure and tanning before and after your facial. Sunburned, irritated, or overly sensitive skin may not tolerate certain facial treatments well and can increase the risk of disrupting the skin barrier. Whenever possible, protect your skin from the sun and allow any irritation or sunburn to heal before receiving a facial. Arriving with clean skin and little to no makeup will also allow your esthetician to properly assess your skin and provide the most effective treatment for your individual needs.
