1st corrective facial

If your skin has been cutting up — dark spots, stubborn acne, texture, shaving bumps, or that dull “why am I gray?” glow — your 1st Corrective Facial is where I stop guessing and start correcting.

As a corrective skincare specialist in North Houston, I designed this facial specifically for melanin-rich skin dealing with:

• Hyperpigmentation and dark marks (face or jawline)

• Acne and post-acne scarring

• Texture and clogged pores

• Ingrown hairs and razor bumps (jawline, chin, cheeks)

• “I’ve tried everything and nothing is working” skin

This is the required first step before I move you into deeper peels, bootcamps, or advanced corrective treatments. I need this session to read your skin, build your plan, and set you up with proper homecare so your results stick.

What’s Included in Your 1st Corrective Facial

Your 1st Corrective Facial w/ Products at Skynvy Houston is a full corrective treatment + starter routine in one visit.

Here’s what happens from the moment you lay down:

1. Skin Interview + Lifestyle Check-In

I don’t just look at your face and guess. I ask about:

• Your current routine (or lack of one 🙃)

• Hormones, stress, medications, shaving/waxing habits

• Past reactions, sensitivities, and your true skin goals

This helps me understand why your skin is behaving the way it is, not just what it looks like today.

2. Professional Skin Analysis

Under professional lighting, I evaluate:

• Pigment depth (surface vs deeper hyperpigmentation)

• Active breakouts and congestion

• Texture, pore visibility, oil vs dehydration

• How your melanin responds and what I will not do on day one

From there, I decide what your skin can safely handle during this first visit.

3. Deep Corrective Cleanse

I use professional-grade cleansers to:

• Break down oil, makeup, sunscreen, and buildup

• Prep your skin for exfoliation without stripping your barrier

This alone already feels different from “fluff” facials — you’ll feel clean, not squeaky or tight.

4. Targeted Exfoliation (Enzyme or Mild Peel)

Based on what I see, I choose:

• An enzyme or gentle corrective peel to dissolve dead skin

• Focus on smoothing texture, brightening tone, and clearing pores

This step helps your dark spots, acne, and glow respond faster to treatment over time.

5. Extractions (If Needed)

If you’re congested, I:

• Gently remove blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores

• Focus on problem areas (chin, jawline, cheeks, forehead, back of neck)

Extractions are done with care to protect your melanin and avoid unnecessary scarring.

6. Corrective Serums + Treatment Mask

I layer treatment based on your main concern, which may include:

• Brightening and pigment-balancing formulas for dark spots

• Acne-focused actives to calm inflammation and reduce future breakouts

• Barrier-supporting serums if your skin is sensitive or over-exfoliated

Then I apply a targeted mask to:

• Calm the skin

• Lock in hydration

• Support your skin barrier after exfoliation

7. Hydration + Protection

I finish with:

• A moisturizer that supports barrier health

• SPF (yes, even if you’re brown, especially if we exfoliated)

You’ll leave feeling treated, not greasy, tight, or irritated.

8. Customized Homecare Starter Kit (Products Included)

This is what makes your 1st Corrective Facial different — you don’t leave guessing which products to buy.

Your service includes a take-home starter kit with curated Skynvy products, typically covering:

• A gentle corrective cleanser

• A treatment step (like a brightening or acne serum)

• A moisturizer appropriate for your skin type

These are chosen based on your skin, not a random pre-made set. This is your foundation for the next 4–6 weeks while we correct and maintain your results.

Who This Facial Is For (And Who It’s Not For)

Perfect For You If…

You’re in Houston (or close enough to drive) and you’re:

• Tired of dark spots and acne scarring not budging

• Struggling with jawline breakouts or congested skin

• Noticing “shadowing” or uneven tone around your mouth, chin, or cheeks

• Dealing with ingrowns and texture from shaving, waxing, or hair removal

• New to corrective skincare and want a Black esthetician who understands melanated skin

This is also for you if:

• You’re ready to be consistent (facials + homecare, not one-and-done)

• You’re willing to follow a plan and stop “product-hopping” every week

Not For You If…

• You want a nap, hot towels, and a playlist only — this is not a fluffy spa facial

• You’re not willing to use the products I recommend and still want results

• You want a miracle in 24 hours but don’t want to come back regularly

I love a good vibe, but I’m here to fix skin, not just massage it. 🤎
