FAQ

​ ​

How often should I get a facial?

Every 3 - 6 weeks is ideal. Coming in for routine facials is a great way to heal damaged skin, prevent signs of aging and maintain healthy glowing skin.

​

I’m not sure which facial to book.

No worries, we’ve got you covered! I suggest you book the DeLuxe facial which is enough time but, we can easily switch it to a different facial on the day of your appointment. At your appointment, I will examine your skin and choose a facial best suited to your skin’s needs.

​

How long is each facial?

Facials are typically booked for 60-75 minutes, providing ample time for a comprehensive treatment. For a quicker option, our express facials are scheduled for 35-45 minutes, perfect for those on the go!

​

What can I expect during a facial?

At each facial, we discuss your skincare concerns with you. We will then cleanse and then asses your skin. From there we will choose a facial that will be best suited to your skin’s needs. This may include masking, extractions, custom beauty cocktail infusions, light therapy, etc. After yourappointment we can help you set up an at-home care routine that will leave you glowing!

Can I still get facial while pregnant?

Absolutely! If you are expecting, just be sure to let us know so we can use products that are pregnancy safe. This is a great way to pamper yourself too!

​Can I get Microcurrent done after getting Botox/fillers?

No! Microcurrent cannot be performed for about 14 days after getting Botox/fillers. However, you can still come in for a standard facial (I recommend the Nano Dermal Infusion)

What is vitamin C and why do I need it?

Vitamin C is the underrated powerhouse of skincare—a long-term investment for your skin, much like saving for retirement. While the results may not be immediate, its benefits contribute significantly to your skin’s overall health over time. As a potent antioxidant, Vitamin C combats oxidation, a process linked to aging. It works by donating an electron to oxidized molecules, effectively repairing damage caused by daily life. With regular use, Vitamin C helps protect, repair, and maintain a youthful, vibrant complexion.

Skincare Myths Debunked

Skincare Myths Debunked

Skincare Myths Debunked: What You Need to Know

With so much skincare advice floating around—both online and through word of mouth—it’s tough to separate fact from fiction. To help you make informed choices, we’re clearing up some of the biggest skincare misconceptions.

Myth 1: Expensive Products Work Better

Reality: Price doesn’t always equal effectiveness. While some luxury products contain high-quality ingredients, many affordable options deliver great results, too. The secret is choosing products with science-backed ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid—tailored to your skin’s needs.

Myth 2: Sunscreen Is Only Needed on Sunny Days

Reality: UV rays don’t take a day off! They can penetrate clouds and windows, leading to premature aging and skin damage. Daily sunscreen use—rain or shine, indoors or out—is one of the best ways to protect your skin.

Myth 3: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer

Reality: Skipping moisturizer can backfire. When skin lacks hydration, it often produces even more oil to compensate. A lightweight, oil-free moisturizer helps maintain balance without clogging pores.

Myth 4: Sensitive Skin Should Avoid Exfoliation

Reality: Gentle exfoliation is still beneficial, even for sensitive skin. Instead of harsh scrubs, opt for mild exfoliants help to smooth and refresh your skin without irritation.

Myth 5: Natural Skincare Is Always Safer

Reality: Not everything natural is skin-friendly (think poison ivy!). While some natural ingredients can be great, synthetic formulations are often more stable and effective. Always patch-test new products and choose what works best for your skin.

Myth 6: Drinking Water Alone Keeps Skin Hydrated

Reality: While hydration starts from within, water alone isn’t enough to keep skin supple. Hydrating serums, moisturizers, and a balanced diet all play a role in maintaining glowing, healthy skin.

Myth 7: Applying Oil Hydrates Your Skin

Reality: While facial oils help lock in moisture, they don’t actually hydrate the skin on their own. Hydration comes from water, not oil. If your skin is dehydrated, use a hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid first, and moisturizer then apply oil to seal in the moisture.

Myth 8: Acne Is Just a Teenage Problem

Reality: Acne doesn’t have an age limit. Many adults struggle with breakouts caused by stress, hormones, or other factors. The right skincare routine—and sometimes professional treatments—can help manage adult acne effectively.

Skincare, the Smart Way

When it comes to skincare, knowledge is power! By understanding the facts, you can make the best choices for healthy skin.
