If you get an amazing
facial treatment, but then
go home and use soap
and water, or a cheap
drugstore product,
or nothing at all, your
professional treatments
will have no lasting
benefit and you will not
look your best.
4. Your esthetician has spent a lot of time and
consideration in choosing the home product lines they
carry. Feel free to ask why they chose them and why
they feel these are the best for your skin. Know that
they believe in these products and trust them to do
what they need to do.
5. Perform your nighttime routine earlier in the
evening before you are tired. As soon as you get home
from work and take off your bra (we know you do!),
take off your makeup too. That way, you are less likely
to stumble into bed without taking care of your skin.
6. Your esthetician should check in with you to see how
things are going. If you don't hear from them and have
questions, call them and ask! It's a good idea to take
pictures of your issue areas on the first visit, and
then take new pictures after 2–3 months of treatment
to highlight the changes. Skin appearance changes are
so gradual you may not notice them.
The bottom line of what a skin professional does is
help their clients have healthier and better-looking
skin. They are an authority on self-care products. They
educate themselves on ingredients and how they work.
Ask questions, follow your home-care routine, and see
your esthetician regularly, and you will be thrilled with
the results! ▪
