Question 1

What skin types benefit from hydrating facials?

Accepted Answer

Every skin type benefits from hydration. Dry and mature skin sees the most dramatic improvement, but oily skin often needs hydration too — dehydrated oily skin overproduces sebum, leading to breakouts.

Question 2

How often should I get a hydrating facial?

Accepted Answer

Every 4 to 6 weeks for most clients. If dealing with severe dryness, your esthetician may recommend 2 to 3 weeks initially until your moisture barrier is restored.

Question 3

What is the difference between hydrating and moisturizing?

Accepted Answer

Hydrating pulls water into skin cells using hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Moisturizing seals that water in with ceramides and plant oils. A good hydrating facial does both.

Question 4

Can I wear makeup after a hydrating facial?

Accepted Answer

We recommend giving your skin 6 to 8 hours before applying makeup so pores can absorb the treatment serums fully.
