Step 1: Know Your Skin

Every great skincare journey starts with self-awareness. Take a moment to pause and ask yourself: How is my skin feeling today? Is it dry and craving moisture? Oily in some areas, like the T-zone? Perhaps it’s sensitive, showing redness, or in need of a little extra care for signs of aging. Understanding your skin type and concerns is the foundation of a successful skincare protocol. 

For a more in-depth approach, we recommend booking a consultation at our salon or scheduling a professional skin analysis. Our expert estheticians are here to help you create a personalized plan that honors your unique skin story. Remember, your skin’s needs are as individual as you are, and tailoring your routine ensures that every product you use is working in harmony with your goals.
