Facial 101: What It Is and What to Expect
Most of our facial clients say the same thing when they sit up: that was the best facial ever. Plenty of them fell asleep somewhere around the mask, and we take that as a compliment.
If you are looking for a facial in Round Rock and wondering what actually happens once you lie down, this is your walkthrough. Every step, who each facial is for, and how your skin feels afterward.
Here is the short version. Our facials are customized treatments that cleanse, exfoliate and nourish your skin. Every one starts with a conversation about your skin goals, moves through a double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions and a custom mask, then finishes with products chosen for what we talked about. You leave glowing, with no downtime.
What happens during a facial?
Every facial follows the same path, and every step is shaped around your skin.
A skin consultation. We talk about your goals and your concerns so we can make a game plan and pick exactly the right products.
A double cleanse. We cleanse twice so your skin is fully prepped for everything that comes next.
Exfoliation. A manual exfoliation with a product, or microdermabrasion if you add it on.
Extractions. We clear out blackheads and whiteheads and help calm any breakouts we can.
A customized mask. Chosen for your skin that day.
Hot towels. They lift the mask away gently.
Finishing products. Every one is picked for what we talked about at the start, finished with a lip treatment.
We talk you through each step as we go, so you always know what is happening and why.
What is the best part of a facial?
Ask our team and you will get the same answer. While your mask sets, you get an arm and shoulder massage. It is our favorite part, and it is usually the moment clients drift off. By the time the hot towels come out, most people feel more relaxed than they have all week.
Which facial is right for you?
We keep the menu simple. There are two facials, and both can be customized with add ons.
The Signature Facial is good for everybody. Whether you want to keep healthy skin healthy, calm a breakout, or glow before an important event, this is the one to book.
The Teen Facial is made for younger skin. It is perfect for teens who are struggling with acne or skin issues, or who want a good facial before something big. A parent or guardian stays for the appointment, and a consent form is completed before we start.
Two add ons take things further. Microdermabrasion gently removes dead skin cells for smoother, brighter skin and helps with texture and uneven tone. High frequency calms the skin and helps clear breakouts. We make sure an add on is a fit for you before we use it. If you are deciding between options, our guide to choosing the right facial for your skin concerns walks through it, and Microdermabrasion 101 covers that add on in detail.
Will your skin be red after a facial?
This is the question we hear most when people call about a facial in Round Rock, and it makes sense. There are a lot of different facials out there.
Ours is a relaxing facial with deep exfoliation, and there is no downtime. You can head straight back to your day. If you add microdermabrasion, your skin may look slightly pink or feel a little sensitive for a few hours, and that fades on its own.
Sensitive skin is always welcome. Let us know at your appointment and we will adjust every step to keep your skin comfortable.
How do you care for your skin after a facial?
Aftercare is simple, and we go over it with you before you leave.
Wear SPF and skip direct sun.
Hold off on retinol and active ingredients for 24 hours.
Expect your skin to feel a little more sensitive than usual right after.
How often should you get a facial?
You will see glowing skin right away. For ongoing improvement in texture and tone, we recommend a facial every four to six weeks. Taking care of your skin now is how you prevent issues later and keep it healthy.
Our post on how often you should get a facial goes deeper on finding your rhythm.
