Personalized Facials in Anchorage

A facial is more than just a relaxing treatment — it’s a professional, deep-cleansing experience that helps reset your skin. Think of it as a reset button for your face, neck, and décolleté (upper chest). Whether you’re new to skincare or a seasoned pro, facials help maintain skin health, target concerns, and prep your skin for more advanced treatments if needed.

For most, facials are best maintained every 4 weeks, but this can vary depending on your skincare goals. There are different facial lengths and styles — from quick refreshers to indulgent, extended treatments that provide deeper relaxation and results.

Before your appointment, you’ll need to fill out a quick intake form (sent via text or email), which takes about 5 minutes. If you haven’t completed it beforehand, please arrive a little early to take care of it so we can maximize your treatment time.

Your hair will be secured back with a soft headband, so it may get a little damp or frizzy — especially after a blissful scalp massage. I have dry shampoo, hair ties, and other touch-up essentials at the Refreshment Station for you to use after your treatment.

No need to remove your makeup beforehand, it will all be cleansed away during your facial.

Important Pre-Facial Guidelines:

• Avoid Retinol, Retin-A, AHAs, and Vitamin A products 5 days before your facial.

• If you’re using acne medications like Accutane, Tretinoin, or certain birth control, let me know ahead of time.

• Schedule Botox or fillers at least 14 days before your facial to avoid interference.

• If you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, please inform me so I can tailor your treatment accordingly.

If you wax, avoid facial waxing 3 days before and after your appointment (but do let me know if you've had recent waxing).

Absolutely! Facials are completely safe for pregnancy with adjustments to products and techniques. Just let me know in advance so I can ensure everything is pregnancy safe.

Facials are designed to be relaxing, rejuvenating, and tailored to your skin's needs. You can choose to have each step explained as we go or simply unwind and enjoy the experience. If anything feels uncomfortable (like tingling, itching, or sensitivity), just let me know.

A typical facial includes:

• Deep cleanse to remove makeup, oil, and debris.

• Skin analysis to determine what your skin needs.

• Exfoliation (physical, enzyme, or chemical) to smooth and brighten your complexion.

• Extractions (if needed) to clear clogged pores. You can skip this step if you prefer!

• Massage of the face, neck, upper body, arms, and scalp to boost circulation and relaxation.

Customized serums, masks, and finishing products selected for your skin type

Right after your facial, your skin will feel fresh, hydrated, and glowing! However, depending on your skin type and the level of exfoliation, you may experience mild redness, dryness, or even light peeling. This is all part of the process and will subside within a day or so.

Post-Facial Do’s & Don’ts:

• No exfoliating products (AHAs, BHAs, scrubs) for 5 days.

• No facial waxing for at least 5 days to prevent irritation.

• Skip makeup for 6 hours so your skin can fully absorb the benefits.

• Avoid washing your face for at least 6–8 hours to let active ingredients work their magic.

• Wear SPF and reapply throughout the day, especially if you'll be outside or near windows.

Some clients experience purging (temporary breakouts) after a facial—this is normal and means your skin is detoxifying. Staying consistent with your home care routine will help keep things on track!

At the end of your facial, we’ll go over the best professional home care products to keep your skin on the right path. Your routine doesn’t have to be complicated — just effective. I’ll break down exactly what to use, when to use it, and why so you feel confident in your skincare. And if you ever have questions, just reach out!
