FAQ

There are 5 main skin types; oily, dry, combination, normal, and sensitive. 

How do you determine which one you are?

If your skin appears shiny throughout, you likely have oily skin. If it feels tight and is flaky or scaly, you likely have dry skin. If the shine is only in your T-zone, you probably have combination skin. If your skin feels hydrated and comfortable, but not oily, you likely have normal skin. If your skin reacts to a large percentage of product you try to use, you  likely have sensitive skin. 

Your esthetician will also help  determine your skin type during your facial consultation. 

Your pre-prep will vary per facial. When you are scheduled for any treatment with deep exfoliation, skin peel, or glycolic facial peel, your skin prep is required. For example, the "5-Berry Pigment Control Peel" has a proper skincare protocol for pre-treatment &  universal guidelines. 

What are the universal guidelines?

1. Keep your Skin Bare & Avoid Harsh Chemicals like Retinols

2. Avoid Carrying out Extractions at Home

3. Avoid tanning, going to the sauna, shaving, waxing, home facials, and even doing a light exfoliation as they can all cause your skin to react.

4. Expect Breakouts Following your Facial

We ask that you follow the universal guidelines for all facials.

Pre- treatment:

• Perform light exfoliation  on bikini and vulva area 
• Do not trim your hair! We want to avoid accidently trimming your hair too short. Your esthetician will perform this step at the start of your appointment.
• For those who may have low pain tolerance, it is recommended to take a pain reliever 30 mins prior to your appointment.

Post- treatment:

• Please keep the area clean
• Exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week in between appointments
• Do not get in any pool, jacuzzis, or beaches for 48 hours 
• Do not workout or have sex for 24 hours
• Avoid performing extractions at home

This is completely your choice! We want you to be comfortable during your appointment. You are welcome wax while on your menstrual cycle at Seek.The.Beat. We offer fresh feminine supplies for your use. 

If you prefer to reschedule, we ask that you do so 24 hours in advance.
