Acne facial or anti-ageing facial?

It helps to think of the two facials as answering different questions about your skin. An acne facial responds to what is happening now on the surface and just beneath it, such as congestion, active breakouts, blackheads and the oiliness that feeds them. An anti-ageing facial responds to how skin is changing over time, working on hydration, firmness and the fine lines and dullness that come with dryness and slower renewal. Many clients in the Fraser Valley recognise themselves in both descriptions, which is exactly why the decision is made face to face rather than from a menu.

You are not locked into a single facial forever. Skin shifts with the seasons, with hormones and with your routine, so a plan that starts by calming breakouts may later place more emphasis on hydration and glow, or the two approaches may be alternated. Your Skinholic practitioner can also point to complementary options on the wider menu, such as chemical peels for post-acne marks or brightening protocols for uneven tone, and will only suggest what suits your skin after assessing it in person.

Whichever direction you lean, the consultation is the real starting point. At either the Surrey or Aldergrove clinic your first visit is free and carries no obligation to book: it is time set aside to look at your skin, talk through your history and current products, and hear plainly what each treatment can and cannot do. That honest, no-pressure conversation is what lets your practitioner build a plan around both your skin and your timeline, rather than selling a treatment at the door.
