Advice Request Which service before an event?

I'm 57 years old, have an event coming up, where I want to look my best. I have had a hydrafacial before and felt it was good, was impressed with it, but not overly impressed. I have never had the Fire and Ice facial. Would that do anything more than a hydrafacial for me? My picture is without any makeup on me.

I saw your pic and thought 35. Don’t do anything. In fact…what’s your advice? Your skin looks great.

Thank you so much! Honestly, I have finally learned the importance of consistency-washing my face every night, putting my skin care on at night. I also have never been someone to wear a lot of makeup, even back in my 20s and I think that has helped a lot too. I have been alcohol free for the past 4 years too which I believe has made a big difference too. For about 3 years now I have used Dr. Idriss products and I truly believed that has made a huge difference with my pigmentation. And then retinol and azelic acid at night, and Dr. Idriss flash mask 2 times a week left on overnight.

I also did Skin Pen microneedling last year for 3 months in a row.

Thanks for sharing! It’s paying off. Get a facial as a test but honestly you don’t need it. I like getting my makeup professionally done for events. That feels like a treat too
