How to choose a facial

You don't need to diagnose your skin. Choose by time and intent: The Golden Hour (60 min) is a great first appointment; Golden Hour Luxe (75 min) adds customization. The assessment guides everything else.

Arrival

When you arrive

  • Avoid active exfoliants and retinoids 3-5 days before, if possible.
  • Avoid direct sun and tanning before treatment.
  • Arrive with clean skin if requested.
  • Note your current skincare routine to discuss.
  • Come hydrated and ready to rest.
