Bring your goals
Think about what you want your skin to look or feel like: brighter-looking, calmer-looking, smoother-looking, hydrated, or less congested-looking.
First-time facial guide
Your first facial at Skin Cove should feel clear, calm, and guided.
If you have never had a facial before, or if you have had rushed facial experiences elsewhere, Skin Cove is designed to help you slow down and choose with confidence.
The best first step for unsure clients is the complimentary Skin Strategy Session. From there, Heather can help you choose a custom facial, 2B path, membership, body ritual, or homecare support.
Skin Cove services are cosmetic/aesthetic in nature and are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Results vary.
Quick guide
First-time clients should not have to decode the menu alone.
This guide helps you know what to expect before you choose a service or book in Vagaro.
Bring your routine
Knowing your current products helps Heather understand what your skin may already be tolerating.
Start gently when needed
If your barrier is sensitive or overworked, a calmer starting point may be better than an aggressive service.

What not to expect from a first visit.

Skin Cove does not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medications. Active medical concerns should be handled by a qualified healthcare professional.
