Preparing for Your Facial Experience
To ensure your skin is perfectly prepped for your Skin House treatment, we recommend following these simple guidelines prior to your appointment.
Before Your Visit
- Hydrate generously. Well-hydrated skin responds beautifully to treatment and helps enhance your results.
- Be mindful of blood-thinning medications and supplements. When possible (and unless prescribed by your physician), consider pausing items such as ibuprofen, fish oil, herbal supplements, and certain foods that may increase sensitivity or redness.
- If needed, Tylenol is preferred as it does not thin the blood, unless otherwise advised by your medical provider.
The Day Before
- Avoid alcohol to keep your skin calm and balanced.
- Limit sun exposure and skip retinoids, exfoliating acids, or physical exfoliation to prevent sensitivity.
The Day Of Your Appointment
- Enjoy a light meal beforehand—please don’t arrive on an empty stomach.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and hair comfortably secured away from the face so you can fully relax and enjoy your treatment.
If you have any questions about how to prepare or what’s best for your skin, our Skin House team is always here to guide you. We look forward to taking care of you.
Skin House Aftercare Guidelines
Skin House custom facials are designed to be gentle, restorative, and require little to no downtime. While there are no strict aftercare requirements, following these simple guidelines will help you maintain and enhance your results:
- Avoid active ingredients such as retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs for at least 24 hours, unless your Skin House provider recommends otherwise.
- Let your skin breathe. Makeup may be applied after your facial, though many clients choose to enjoy their post-treatment glow makeup-free for the rest of the day.
- Skip heat and heavy sweating for the remainder of the day, including hot yoga, steam rooms, saunas, or intense workouts, as excess heat may reduce the longevity of your results.
- Stay consistent with your skincare routine. Your Skin House provider may recommend specific products to support your skin goals—this is the perfect time to incorporate them.
If you have any questions about post-treatment care or when to safely reintroduce active products, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Skin House team—we’re here to support your skin every step of the way.
