I’m going for my first facial today. You’d think that being as beauty-obsessed as I am, I would have had this experience before. But no, I have always been scared to do this because my skin is on the sensitive side.

So what changed my mind, you ask? Well, I decided it would be beneficial to really have a professional look at my face and decide what needed to be done. I get acne still every so often and it’s so frustrating! I’m not a teenager anymore and I’m praying that I don’t have adult acne – it’s just so inconvenient!

I have scheduled a 90-minute session with an esthetician a friend recommended. This was the standard for first-timers. In fact speaking to this friend got me really into wanting to go through with this. I hear this girl is really good and will really do what I need. Hopefully she can clean me up and help me feel refreshed! And in the future I can get some further fixes for redness in my face and leftover acne scars.

I don’t really know what to expect. I’ve heard girls come out and say they had a great experience and others – not so much. Will my face reject this treatment? Will I be red or blotchy? Will my skin be flaky tomorrow, despite my very oily skin type? Will she make extractions, but leave holes in my face? I really hope not. These are all the negative things I’m hoping won’t happen, especially since I have an event to go to on Friday!

I will certainly keep you posted and let you know if the experience is worth it or not! I hope it is!
