Skin Care Related Questions

How often should I have a facial?
We recommend a facial once a month because that is how long it takes the skin to regenerate.  
Furthermore, we monitor your skin throughout the seasons and help you maintain a healthy and glowing
complexion. However, if you are experiencing over stress or menopause, your skin can be unpredictable
and breakout.  Your esthetician may recommend more frequent visits until the problem is under control.

Will I break out after a facial?
Breakouts rarely occur unless your skin is congested with blackheads or whiteheads underneath your
skin. If this is the circumstance, you might experience some breakouts, but be assured they won't last for
long.

At what age should I start receiving regular facials?
Your mid 20's to early 30's are ideal to maintain its healthy glow unless you begin to experience breakouts
at an earlier age. We believe in early skin care education as many teenagers suffer from problem skin
that is best addressed early on, having a visit to an esthetician can help treat and correct the problem.
