5 Questions to Ask Before Your First Facial Appointment

Thinking about booking your first facial, and unsure where to start or what to expect? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re struggling with breakouts, dullness, or you just want to glow a little brighter, your first visit should feel relaxed, not overwhelming. At Caroline Rohwer Beauty, we’re here to make the process easy, comfortable, and completely tailored to you.

Here are five smart questions to ask before your first appointment — so you walk in feeling confident and walk out glowing.

1. What facial is right for my skin type?

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skincare. Your skin might be dry, oily, sensitive, or a little bit of everything — and that changes seasonally too.

Ask: “Which treatment would you recommend for my skin?”

Your facialist will take a close look at your skin and match you with the right treatment on the spot. You don’t need to know what you need — that’s our job.

2. How should I prep for my appointment?

For most facials, there’s no major prep required. But if you’re wearing heavy makeup or using strong actives (like retinol), it’s a good idea to let us know in advance.

We’ll guide you on any dos and don’ts before your visit — no stress.

3. Will there be extractions? (And do they hurt?)

Not all facials include extractions — but if they do, we’ll always check if you’re comfortable with it.

They’re super effective for clearing out congestion and blackheads, and when done professionally, they’re gentle and safe. Roisin’s technique is all about results without redness.

4. What results can I expect after one facial?

Facials aren’t magic wands (although it’ll feel like they are). You’ll likely leave with a smoother texture, more hydration, and that gorgeous post-facial glow.

But if you have long-term skin goals (like clearing acne or improving pigmentation), we’ll create a plan that works with your skin and schedule.

5. How often should I book facials?

For most people, once a month is ideal — it keeps your skin balanced, refreshed, and consistently glowing.

But we’ll never recommend more than what your skin actually needs. Whether it’s a one-time treat or a monthly ritual, we’ll tailor it to you.

You don’t need to know skincare. You just need to show up.

If you’ve been nervous to book your first facial, don’t be. Roisin will walk you through everything, answer your questions, and leave you looking and feeling like your best self.
