Preparing for a facial in Philadelphia? At Skin Devotee Facial Studio, we customize every treatment to target your skin’s unique needs.

Proper pre-facial care helps maximize hydration, boost product absorption, and prevent irritation, ensuring you get the best possible results.

Your esthetician will assess your skin and select the best course of action, so you don’t have to worry about choosing the wrong treatment.

Follow these simple steps before your appointment to achieve a radiant, refreshed complexion.

1. Avoid Harsh Skincare Products

• Stop using retinol, AHA/BHA exfoliants, and strong acne treatments 48 hours prior.
• This prevents over-sensitivity and ensures your skin is ready for professional exfoliation.

2. Stay Hydrated and Moisturize

• Well-hydrated skin absorbs products more effectively during your facial.
• Drink plenty of water and apply a lightweight moisturizer leading up to your appointment.

3. Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning

• UV exposure can increase skin sensitivity, leading to potential redness or irritation.
• If you must be outdoors, wear SPF 30+ and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

4. Skip Waxing or Shaving

• Waxing and shaving remove a layer of skin, making treatments like exfoliation too harsh.
• Schedule any hair removal at least 24-48 hours before your facial.

5. Arrive with a Clean Face

• Avoid wearing heavy foundation or waterproof makeup to your appointment.
• Your esthetician will cleanse your skin, but a fresh face allows for better skin analysis.
