I'm too afraid to get a facial because I fear I might break out."

This is a common fear among women and men who haven't had a facial. 

First and foremost what is "breaking out" to you?  Is it one pimple?  Is it bumpiness on the chin and jaw?  Is it blackheads?  Is your skin super sensitive or does it have a tendency to break out at certain times of the month?  Did you have breakouts prior to your first facial. What do you use on your skin?  Do you wax or use depilatories? What's your main goal? These are all questions (and many more) we ask so that we can customize a facial for your skin type and concern.

If you have clear skin with minor breakouts the truth is that you will most likely not have any problems. And if you do have congested skin most likely you will be on a path to having clearer skin after your first facial. 

All of the skin care therapist at alayne white spa have been trained directly through Dermalogica and continue their education with the company. We pride ourselves on listening to client needs and fears and addressing them before we start any treatment.  The only time we don't recommend getting a first time facial is If you are getting married within that week or you have a major event to attend and you have a concern about breaking out. If that is the case we have many other services for you to enjoy such as the Spassage, which is an hour and a half full body treatment which includes hot stones, warm oil, and head to toe massage.  Our beyond belief pedicure is also wonderful and way more than a pedicure. 

We will be launching a new menu for brides soon with some great ideas for some pre wedding spa services, but for now call us with any questions and we will be happy to answer or consult with you prior to a treatment.
