Before your visit
- Avoid sunburn and tanning, including tanning beds and long beach days without SPF.
- Skip at-home skin devices such as dermarolling or cleansing brushes.
- Pause retinol, retinoids, exfoliating acids and scrubs on your face.
- Do not shave your face the day of your visit.
- Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids for 3 days before.
- Avoid waxing, threading and depilatories on the face for 5 days before.
- Remove earrings and necklaces. Plan on a full 90 minutes with no rush.
- For an event, book 1 to 2 weeks ahead and never try new products the week before.
- Drink plenty of water and get a good night of sleep.
- Do not try any new skincare product.
- Arrive with clean skin if you can. Kira cleanses your skin anyway.

- Keep makeup light, ideally mineral, for the first day. Do not pick or scrub.
