Which Facial Should I Book for My Skin?

Most guests who open our facial menu for the first time ask the same thing: there are a lot of names here, so which one is mine? The short answer is that you book for what your skin is doing right now, not for the skin you had last year. If you are breaking out, start with the Acne Facial. If your skin turns red at the first sign of a new product, book the Sensitive Facial. If you are not sure at all, the Signature Facial is the safe first visit, and your esthetician will tell you what to book next. You can book a facial online any time.

Start with what is bothering you

A facial is not one treatment with different names. Each one on our menu is built around a different concern, so the products, the exfoliation and the pace of the service change. Before you pick, ask yourself one question: what would I fix first if I could only fix one thing? Breakouts, dullness, fine lines, redness, or texture. That answer points you to the right row on the menu.

Breakouts and clogged pores

The Acne Facial focuses on clearing congestion and calming active breakouts. It is a good fit for teens, adults with hormonal breakouts, and anyone whose skin has been clogged by a change in routine. Breakouts on the shoulders and upper back get their own service, the Back Facial, so you do not have to squeeze a back treatment into a face appointment.

Fine lines and loss of firmness

The Anti-Aging Facial is for skin that is starting to look tired or less firm. For a deeper visit, The Renew Facial is our longest facial on the menu, with more time for the steps that leave skin looking refreshed.

Dull or rough texture

The Enzyme Facial uses an enzyme exfoliant to lift away dull surface skin without scrubbing. If you want a brighter look before an event, ask about the Glow Peel, a shorter peel service. Dermablading removes fine facial hair and surface buildup so skin looks smoother and makeup goes on evenly. You can book it on its own or add it to a facial as Add On Dermablading.

Redness and reactive skin

The Sensitive Facial is gentle by design. It suits skin that stings, flushes, or reacts to new products. Tell us about any skin conditions, prescriptions, or recent treatments when you book, so your esthetician can plan around them.

Not sure, or just want to feel good

The Signature Facial is a customized facial that adapts to your skin on the day. It is the best first visit if you have never had a facial, because your esthetician will look at your skin up close and tell you which focused facial makes sense next time. During fall, our menu also runs a seasonal Pumpkin Facial Special.

Add-ons worth knowing about

An Oxygen Treatment can be added to a facial for skin that looks dull or dehydrated. Add On Dermablading pairs well with almost any facial if you want a smoother finish. You do not need to decide on add-ons in advance; your esthetician can suggest one once she sees your skin.

What happens at your first facial

  1. You fill in a short skin history: your routine, any medications, and anything that has irritated your skin before.
  2. Your esthetician cleanses and looks at your skin under good light.
  3. She exfoliates, treats, and masks based on the facial you booked and what she sees.
  4. You finish with moisturizer and sunscreen, and a simple home routine to keep the results going.

Our estheticians, Madi and Audry, can both walk you through the facial menu. You can read about them on our team page.

How often should you get a facial?

Many guests book a facial about once a month, which follows the skin's natural turnover. Others come in seasonally or before a big event. If you are working on a specific concern like breakouts, your esthetician may suggest a closer schedule for a while and then space visits out. Your home routine matters as much as the appointment, and we retail Glo Skin Beauty at the salon if you want to keep using what was used in the chair.
