30 min
For anyone new to the studio, and for anyone whose skin has changed.
A conversation and a close look, so the facial that follows suits your skin and not skin in general.
Consultation first: the analysis comes before your first facial and before any peel or dermaplaning. Results vary, and no analysis predicts how your skin will look.
A talk about your routine and what makes your skin react
A look under the magnifying lamp, with you
What your esthetician notes, in plain words
A plan for what to try next, and what to leave alone
Getting ready
At booking we tell you what to pause and what to bring. Come with your face as it is; don't pick at it beforehand.
We go over your routine before you leave and write down what to avoid for a day or two. Wear sunscreen outside.
If you are pregnant or might be, use a prescription skin medicine or have a skin condition a doctor is managing, ask before you book a peel.
Who does it
Owner and lead esthetician
Beverley opened Ceramide to give skin that reacts easily a place where nobody rushes. She leads the analysis at every first visit she books and teaches the studio's other two estheticians how the lamp, the questions and the note fit together.
Esthetician
Savitri works slowly and quietly and likes a visit with a plan: analysis, then one change at a time. She sees many graduate students and staff from campus, and keeps the late Thursday and Friday evenings.
Esthetician
Yadhira does extractions and LED light, and the calming facial for skin that is having a bad week. She speaks Spanish with clients who prefer it; ask for her when you book. She keeps Saturday mornings, and many of her regulars come after a week in the lab.
