A facial treatment isn’t just a luxury – it’s a smart investment in the health and appearance of your skin.
Whether you’re dealing with acne, clogged pores, or simply want a fresh and glowing complexion, a professional facial can make a real difference.
But before you book your appointment, it’s important to know how to prepare properly so that your treatment is as effective (and enjoyable) as possible.
1. Choose the right facial for your skin type
Every skin is unique – dry, oily, sensitive, mature… That’s why it’s essential to choose a facial that suits your specific skin type. A professional facial analysis can help determine your skin’s condition and needs. Based on this analysis, your skincare therapist will recommend the most suitable treatment for you.
2. Avoid shaving or waxing before the treatment
If you’re planning to shave or wax your face, make sure to do it at least 24 hours before your facial. Skin may be more sensitive afterward and prone to irritation. Performing a facial on freshly waxed skin can lead to redness, burning sensations, or even small inflammations – definitely not something you want.
3. Stay hydrated
Well-hydrated skin responds better to facial treatments, as active ingredients can penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. So, drink plenty of water the day before and on the day of your appointment!
4. Say “no” to aggressive skincare products
A few days before your facial, avoid using strong products like retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, or chemical peels. These can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation during the treatment. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers to keep your skin calm and balanced.
5. Arrive with a clean face
Although your esthetician will cleanse your skin at the beginning of the treatment, it’s best to arrive without any makeup or SPF. This way, the treatment can begin right away, and the products used will be more effective.
A facial treatment as a mini ritual for you
A facial isn’t just another beauty treatment – it’s a special moment you dedicate to yourself and your skin. With just a little preparation, the results can be even better: a refreshed complexion, healthy skin, and a deep sense of relaxation.
