Five Things You Shouldn't Keep From Your Esthetician

When an esthetician hands you a questionnaire to complete, it's not just a formality. The information that you give the person giving treatments to your skin (not only on the initial questionnaire but before each session) helps the skin care provider to give you the best possible service and results without harming you.

1. Aspirin: If you are allergic to aspirin and your esthetician uses products containing salicylic acid in your treatment you would wind up with a severe allergic reaction. If you are taking aspirin or have taken aspirin within 48-hours of your treatment, your esthetician needs to know because you will have a greater probability of bruising and/or bleeding during extractions or waxing.

2. Botox: If, 48-hours before your treatment, you have received Botox injections, tell your esthetician. A facial massage could move the Botox diminishing the Botox result that you were expecting.

3. Microdermabrasion: If you have received this treatment up to one week before a facial let your esthetician know before your treatment. Microdermabrasion thins and sensitizes the skin for a period of time. The skin needs to be treated gently, if at all, after microdermabrasion.

4. Allergic to seafood, shellfish or iodine: Your esthetician needs to know this. Many skin care products contain products from the sea. You could have an allergic reaction countering any effects of the facial.

5. Medications: Many medications cause the skin to respond differently. Also, knowing your medications, gives your esthetician a better understanding of your general health and the condition of your skin.
