So you’re ready to book your first treatment, but you’re stuck 🥴

You’ve heard facials are great for relaxation… but peels are where the real results happen, right?

You want glow. You want the scars to fade. You want something that actually works.

Here’s the truth:

Both facials and peels can transform your skin—but only if you know when to use them.

Let me break it down the way I do with my clients behind the table—simple, strategic, and straight to the point.

Facials = Skin Support

Facials are not just “self-care.” They’re skin therapy.

When done right, they hydrate, exfoliate, decongest, and get your skin back into balance. At Detroit Skintique, every facial is customized—not just a steam + mask + send-you-home situation.

A facial might be what you need if your skin is:

✔️ Dull, dry, or rough

✔️ Breaking out occasionally

✔️ Reacting to the seasons or stress

✔️ Not ready for peels yet

My go-to? The Signature Glow Facial—especially for those just becoming consistent with professional skincare or sensitized skin in need of barrier repair.

Peels = Skin Correction

Peels go beneath the skin’s surface.

They speed up cell turnover, break up pigment, soften texture, and help with breakouts and scarring. But not every skin type (or condition) is ready for them—especially if you’ve been DIY-ing it or your barrier is already mad at you.

Peels might be what you need if your skin is:

✔️ Healing from acne

✔️ Covered in dark marks or discoloration

✔️ Texture-heavy

✔️ Needing a reset you can’t get from products alone

Pro tip: Not all peels involve downtime. But the good ones involve a plan. And if you’re dealing with melanin-rich skin, the wrong peel at the wrong time can do more harm than good. That’s why we don’t skip prep.

So… Which One Should You Book?

If you’re not sure? Book a consultation.

Seriously!

You don’t need to guess—or waste money on a treatment your skin isn’t ready for. That’s my job.

I’ll assess your skin, your goals, your current routine, and build a plan that actually makes sense

✨ Real Talk:

Facials keep your skin healthy.

Peels push your skin to evolve.

But results? That comes from knowing which to use, and when.
