Once the actual facial is done, it's time to meet your curated skin care routine for the day. It's a great way of locking in all the hard work of the facial, while also giving you a chance to sample some of Sephora's wares. My routine started with Origins Dr. Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion, $34, which was then followed up with Algenist Genius Liquid Collagen, $115, and Herbivore Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Creme, $48, as well as Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches, $48, to really pamper my eye area.

Due to the exfoliation, you'll probably experience at least a little redness. For many, that fades in a manner of hours, though for me it lasted for the rest of the day. Still, the results were more than worth it: After my facial, I awoke to bright, clear skin, and my pores looked smaller than they have since childhood. And it wasn't just that first day, either — the results lingered for a couple weeks, especially since I try to maintain my exfoliation game by using a combination of glow tonics and peel pads.

Bottom line? If you're planning on making a big purchase (or two) at Sephora to the tune of $75, why not drop in for a mini-facial while you're at it? Your skin will thank you.
