How often do I have to get a facial?
Every person's facial schedule varies depending on their skin type, skin condition and customized treatment that is created by their Esthetician.
How soon will I start seeing results from my facial?
Some people see results immediately, and your skin should feel different right away. The skin feels clean, smooth, hydrated, and reflects a new level of health that’s visibly noticeable. If the skin has more advanced long-term needs, such as treatment of skin aging, acne or hyper-pigmentation caused by hormonal fluctuations or sun damage, results may not be immediately visible; however, skin health will continue to improve as you follow the advice of your professional skin therapist, and continue your home-care regimen.

Do I have to use your products?
Yes, this is part of the program. There are too many brands in the marketplace that have pore-clogging ingredients in them. To ensure clear skin, We recommend using our products alone. Acne is tricky enough to treat – we do not want to take any chances with other potentially harmful or comedogenic products. These products are customized to each individual needs.
What if I am on prescription?
You will be required to stop your prescription products, two-four weeks before starting on the program. I have found that they make the skin much too sensitive to use the system. Therefore I generally do not recommend the use of any of them with our regimen. Quite simply, you would have to choose between our program or the prescription products that you are using.
Do I have to get treatment?
If you live close enough to Alluring Skin and Beauty and after you do your consultation. You will be advised by your Esthetician if in studio treatment is needed. The additional meeting will be virtual.

It’s very important to pay attention to your product management. You should advise your Acne Expert in time to replenish your item with our 2 day shipping service.
How long does it take to get clear skin?
While many clients see an improvement in their skin within the first month, it usually takes about 6 treatments over a 3-4 month period of time to get at least 90% clear. This is because it takes 30-90 days for existing acne impactions to make their way to the surface
What happens after I am clear? Will I be able to stay clear?
After your acne is under control, you will simply need to maintain your home care products to keep clear. After you are clear for several months, we will weaken your acne regimen to maintain your clear skin with basic skin care routine - cleanser, toner, moisturizer, sunblock.
Blackheads
Do blackheads go away on their own?
Blackheads can sometimes go away on their own— it depends on how deep blackheads are in your skin. If a blackhead is close to the surface of your skin, it's more likely to go away on its own. However, some blackheads can be deeply embedded in your skin and will need professional extractions.
Why are they black?
Since blackheads are originally widened hair follicles, they are often blocked, due bacteria and excess oils hitting the surface, that is why they turn black.
How do you prevent blackheads?
Preventing blackheads is difficult, if not impossible, during normal hormonal changes. But some things can help:
-Wash your face daily with warm water and a mild facial cleanser.
-Use moisturizer everyday.
-You don’t have to stop using makeup, but try to use “non comedogenic” products and remove makeup at the end of each day.
-Exfoliate twice a week
Blackheads are the result of oil and dirt. True or false?
False ,This black discoloration is due to changes in sebum as it is exposed to air. It is not due to dirt. It has nothing to do with hygiene
Can blackheads be treated at home?
Yes, it can be treated at home with a proper home care that can be provided to you by an Esthetician.
Do blackheads come back?
Blackheads turn up repeatedly after every 20-40 days therefore, there is no permanent way to get rid of blackheads.
