Think About Your Facialist's Skin Care Philosophy

Find Out About the Products
You have a right to know what products and ingredients are going to be used in a facial, so don't be afraid to ask. Tomasso says that staff should be able to easily describe the main features, benefits and steps of every treatment on their menu of facial services.
