How a facial appointment works
Every facial starts with a conversation about your skin, your routine and what you'd like to achieve. From there, I tailor the treatment and products to what your skin needs.
First visits for The Botanist, Odacite Nano Infusion and GLO Getter include extra consultation time, allowing us to create a more personalized treatment plan.
Good skincare makes a difference
I'm particular about what goes on your skin. That's why I've chosen to work with Botnia, Apoterra, Odacité and Glo Skin Beauty.
Each line brings something different to the table, with thoughtfully selected ingredients and formulas that have a purpose in every facial.

Some mild redness may appear for about 30 minutes after treatment.
Avoid exfoliating products and strong sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours, and wear SPF daily.

An exfoliating facial built around a professional Glo Skin Beauty peel, chosen for your skin type and goals.

Check with your prescribing clinician before changing prescribed treatments.
The Dermaplane Facial
Smooth skin, beautifully prepped.
$100 • 60 minutes
A gentle exfoliating facial that removes dead surface skin cells and peach fuzz using a sterile blade, leaving skin feeling smoother and refreshed.
Your treatment includes a double cleanse, careful dermaplaning, and a nourishing antioxidant oil blend finished with SPF.
A favorite before special occasions, especially when you want makeup to go on beautifully.

Not sure which facial to book?
Whether you're looking for a little extra hydration, smoother skin or a refreshed complexion, there's a facial worth exploring.
Before and after your facial
A little preparation goes a long way. Here's what to know before your appointment and how to care for your skin afterward.
Before your facial
Tell me about your current skincare routine, any products you're using and any recent skin treatments. This helps me choose the right approach for your skin.
For The GLO Getter, please review the skincare preparation instructions when booking, especially if you use retinol, exfoliating acids or prescription products. Check with your prescribing clinician before changing prescribed skincare.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, let me know when booking so we can review the treatment and products beforehand.
After your facial
Your skin may feel a little tight or look slightly pink afterward. This is often temporary, and I'll walk you through the aftercare for your specific treatment.
Be gentle with your skin, avoid strong sun exposure and wear SPF daily. Some treatments also require a short break from exfoliating products or retinoids.
For Dermaplane, skip makeup and exercise for 24 hours. Nano Infusion has its own 24 to 48-hour aftercare recommendations, which we'll go over together.
If you have any questions after your appointment, please reach out. I'm always happy to help.

What are the benefits of organic skincare facials?
Organic skincare facials can incorporate botanical extracts, nourishing plant oils and hydrating formulas to help soothe, moisturize and support healthy-looking skin.
At Wax N' Blush, I choose skincare based on what your skin needs, whether that's calming botanicals, extra hydration or gentle exfoliation.
The goal is simple: thoughtfully selected ingredients and a facial that feels right for your skin.
What ingredients are used in organic facials at Wax N' Blush?
Our facials feature skincare from Botnia, Apoterra, Odacité and Glo Skin Beauty.
Depending on the treatment, we use botanical extracts, nourishing plant oils, hydrating serums and professional skincare formulas.
The Botanist Facial focuses on calming botanicals and hydration, while Nano Infusion features targeted Odacité serums. Every treatment is personalized, so the products used depend on your skin and the facial you choose.
Which facial is best for sensitive skin?
The Botanist Facial is a good starting point for skin that feels dry, dull or sensitive.
It features calming botanical ingredients and nourishing oils from Botnia and Apoterra to help hydrate, soothe and support a healthy-looking skin barrier.
We'll talk about your skincare routine and any sensitivities before getting started, so the treatment can be tailored to your skin.
Which facial should I book for my first visit?
That depends on what you're looking for!
The Botanist Facial is a lovely choice for dry or sensitive skin. Odacité Nano Infusion focuses on targeted hydration, while The GLO Getter offers exfoliation and a refreshed-looking complexion.
Your first appointment for these three facials includes extra time for a consultation, so we can talk through your skin and skincare goals.
The Dermaplane Facial is also available to first-time clients for $100, without a separate first-visit appointment.
What is nano infusion, and how is it different from microneedling?
Nano infusion is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses silicone-tipped technology rather than traditional microneedling needles.
It helps targeted skincare serums absorb into the surface layers of the skin without the deeper needle penetration associated with microneedling.
At Wax N' Blush, the Odacité Nano Infusion Facial combines targeted serums, gentle exfoliation and hydration for smoother, refreshed-looking skin.
What is dermaplaning, and does facial hair grow back thicker?
Dermaplaning gently removes dead surface skin cells and fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz, using a sterile blade.
And no, dermaplaning doesn't make facial hair grow back thicker or darker. Hair grows back with its usual characteristics, although it may initially feel slightly different because the ends have been cut.
The Dermaplane Facial at Wax N' Blush includes a double cleanse, careful exfoliation, nourishing antioxidant oils and SPF.
How should I prepare for a facial at Wax N' Blush in Long Beach?
Start by sharing your current skincare routine, including retinol, exfoliating acids, prescription products and any recent skin treatments.
Some facials require additional preparation. The GLO Getter has specific guidance around active skincare ingredients, while Dermaplane may not be suitable following certain skin treatments.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, please mention it when booking so we can review the treatment and products beforehand.
We'll help you understand what to expect before your appointment. If you're using prescription skincare, check with your prescribing clinician before making changes.
Is there downtime after a facial?
It depends on the treatment. Some temporary pinkness or sensitivity is possible, but recovery recommendations vary.
After Nano Infusion, mild redness may last around 30 minutes. Avoid exfoliating products and strong sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours.
After Dermaplane, skip makeup and exercise for 24 hours.
I'll walk you through the aftercare recommendations for your specific treatment before you leave, so you know exactly how to care for your skin at home.
