How To Prepare For a Facial Appointment

Getting a facial appointment can be an exciting opportunity to indulge in some much-needed self-care. However, proper preparation is essential to make the most out of this relaxing experience. Let’s explore essential tips and steps to ensure you're fully ready for your facial appointment, leaving your skin glowing and refreshed.

Why should you book a facial appointment?

Facials are so much more than just a little bit of pampering. At Golden Hour Aesthetics, we personalize each of our facial treatments to address your unique skin concerns. Here are some of the benefits of booking a facial with us.

Facials are incredibly relaxing 

There’s nothing better than an esthetician working on you with their soft and skilled hands to feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Imagine a massage, but for your face! We want to give you a blissful experience where you can unwind and escape the stresses of your life. 

Acne and most skin concerns can be treated with facials

Not only is a facial treatment relaxing, but they’re also very effective in addressing common skin concerns. Facial treatments can help with issues like acne, skin discoloration, and congestion by unclogging pores, cleansing your skin, and reducing inflammation. After a facial session, you’ll be glowing!

How To Prepare For a Facial Appointment

As an anti-aging treatment, facials reduce wrinkles and fine lines

Carry that ID on you, because after a good facial, you’re gonna get carded. Facials can help with signs of aging like wrinkles by targeting those fine lines, stimulating collagen, promoting cell turnover, and improving the overall appearance of your skin.

Getting ready for a facial appointment

After you’ve booked your first appointment, we want you to be confident and prepared before you come in. Let us help you with the tools to get ready for your appointment for your professional facial treatment.

Know what skincare goals you want to achieve

We all have different visions for our skin and we all have our own unique concerns. Make sure you communicate your goals and those concerns with your esthetician so they can tailor their custom facial treatment to you. 

Be able to list what skincare products and brands you use

Your esthetician will want to know what you are already doing for your skin. Make sure you come in with a full list of your skin care routine and the products you use. That way, the professional can make sure the products they are using are compatible with your products, and it’s further information for them to be able to customize your treatment.

Wear comfortable clothing to achieve peak relaxation 

Make the most of the relaxation you’re going to get from your facial. We recommend wearing your most comfortable, loose-fitting clothes as possible so you can sink into that relaxation and soak it in. Also, remove any excess accessories and jewelry.

Try to avoid sun damage always, but especially for a few days before your facial

We know your moisturizer has SPF in it – or at least it better. Make sure you are ALWAYS protecting your skin from sun damage, but it’s especially important right before a facial. Sunburns and UV rays damage irritate your skin and cause some of those skin concerns we’re trying to address! It’s not very relaxing to receive a facial with a sunburn.
