After booking an appointment, check with the esthetician whether there's anything you should avoid in your regular skin care routine. Carr says that they might advise against using exfoliators (liquid or granular). Hewett adds a person might want to stop using a retinol product at least a week before a facial.
Jones suggests avoiding waxing three days before the appointment as it can sensitize skin, making it not possible for exfoliation to be performed during the treatment.
No Makeup
It's best to show up for a facial without any makeup on. (That includes eye makeup.) Carr points out that it's still a personal choice so someone can come to their appointment in full makeup. Just be aware that some of the precious treatment time will be spent removing makeup.
