ABOUT SALT & RIND FACIALS

Welcome to beauty, healing, and wellness for both your skin and soul. At Salt & Rind, we offer many different types of facial treatments—each with its own unique benefits.

Choose from our 30 and 60-minute customized facial treatment, 90-minute Sculptural Face Lifting experience, or a 3-peel series tailored to you for optimal benefits. Each selection also includes the option to choose from customized treatments catered to your needs—complimentary—because we aim to give you the most nourishing experience for the best results that we can.

Each facial treatment experience will feature cleansing, exfoliating, extractions, ultimate relaxation, and moisturizing the skin to improve its overall health, glow, and appearance. Our customized 3-peel treatments are specifically tailored to meet your skin’s needs. Whether you experience acne, melasma, pigmentation, enlarged pores, fine lines, or aging skin, this series is designed to significantly boost results and hit reset for your skin. 

For additional treatments, we offer add-ons for you to further enhance your experience and results. We keep up top of the line equipment for dermaplaning, micro-channeling (aka nano-needling), ultrasonic exfoliation, and LED light stimulation infrared panels.

• Dermaplaning: removes the top layers of your skin to eliminate fine wrinkles and deep acne scarring. Also smooths the skin’s surface. Aka beautifies you—with no downtime!

• Ultrasonic exfoliation: high speed oscillation smooths skin and deep cleans pores for a fresh complexion.

• Micro channeling: Evens skin complexion, minimizes blemishes & pore size, improves firmness & elasticity, hydrates & softens.

• O2 Infuser: Hydrates and brightens the dermal layer. Activates instant dewiness & healthy glow.

Add-ons can be added to any treatment at no cost—ask your esthetician and we will get you all set!

FIRST-TIME CLIENT INSTRUCTIONS: 

We can't wait to take care of you! Rest assured you are in excellent hands with our experts, but take note of a few things to expect for your facial as a first-timer:

• Come to your appointment with a fresh face, no makeup is preferred (but we will remove it if necessary).

• Try to avoid exfoliating or using retinol creams within a week of your treatment.

• We love open and honest communication! Our estheticians want to know everything that you know about your skin, so we can treat you best!

• Your treatment  will be relaxing and rejuvenating, but there will be some uncomfortable moments. Extractions are beneficial for the skin, so don't be surprised when you feel us poking and prodding as this will expedite the healing process.

• On that note, we advise that you do not “pick” at your face on your own; Our experts use tools specifically intended for deep cleaning your pores. Don't try this at home ;)

• Expect that you may have redness, peeling, or other side effects that our estheticians will inform you of ahead of time. This is all part of the process!

• Long-term solutions are a work in progress: Know that you will likely feel amazing after leaving your facial, and upkeep of your skin results requires effort and intention over time.

TIPS FOR PRE- & POST-PEEL:

PRE:

1. Avoid the sun. Most chemical peels have a better impact on skin that is not skin-damaged, so be intentional to stay out of the sun as much as possible prior to your treatment. If you are outside, be sure to wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunblock (at least SPF 30).

2. Take a break from wearing make-up. The less residue on your face before the peel, the better! Give your skin a rest from wearing makeup for a few days before your treatment and let your skin detox! 

3. Don’t exfoliate. Since a chemical peel strongly exfoliates you, it’s important that you don’t exfoliate for at least 1 week prior to your treatment. Check your daily skin care products to keep an eye out for ingredients that may have an exfoliating effect.

4. Hydrate, always. It's important that your skin is adequately hydrated on the day of your peel. Check your products for any that dry you out, and give those a break a few days before your treatment. As always, be sure to drink lots of water. 

POST:

1. Hold off resuming your skincare regimen: We advise that you stay away from using too many products on your face. We love moisturizers and sunscreen always—but putting too much other product on your healing skin could increase your recovery time and irritate it in the process. Once your skin feels fully recovered, carry on your usual skincare routine.

2. Do not pick at your face: Let. Your. Skin. Peel. On. Its. Own. (Louder, for the people in the back?) It will be oh so tempting to get to work removing any dry, dead skin by rubbing or peeling, it can damage the newly exposed layer of your skin. Rather, allow your skin to peel by itself and do its thing.

3. Wash with cool water & avoid heat: When washing your face for a few days after a peel, opt for cool or warm water. Washing with hot water can irritate or damage the treated area. Using cool water will feel better on your skin, as well as help calm irritation and provide relief. We also advise staying away from the sauna, intense workouts, and extreme weather conditions in order to not disrupt the healing process or cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

4. Sunscreen & Moisture: Protect and restore, repeat. Your skin will be in ultimate repair mode, so give it some love to protect your skin's barrier with moisturizer. Use SPF 30 or more regularly: UV rays can enter indoors through windows, doors, and even shaded areas.

Once your skin feels that is fully recovered (typically 3-7 days), then you can carry on your typical routines as you wish. Always prioritizing sun protection, of course!

SEE YOU SOON!
