Your first facial: what to expect and how to prepare

A first facial can bring up lots of questions: what exactly will happen? Will it hurt? What should I wear? We’ve gathered everything you need to know so you can arrive relaxed.

Before your visit

• Come with skin as clean as possible — minimal make-up, or none if you can.
• Tell us about your routine — the products you use, especially acids or retinoids.
• Let us know about pregnancy, breastfeeding, sensitivities or previous treatments.
• Avoid long sun exposure in the days before your treatment.

During the treatment

Your visit starts with a short conversation and a skin assessment. Then comes the treatment itself, which usually includes cleansing, a gentle exfoliation, extractions where needed, a mask and moisture. The clinic is private and for women only, so you can remove your hijab in complete comfort.

After the treatment

• Your skin may look slightly pink for a few hours — that is normal.
• Skip make-up for the rest of the day if you can.
• Keep up moisture and sun protection in the days that follow.
• Don’t rush to add active products — wait for our recommendation.

How often should you come?

That depends on your skin and your goals. In your consultation we will suggest a rhythm that really suits you — no pressure, no commitment.
