Frequently Asked Questions
How does lymphatic drainage facial help with swelling?
Lymphatic drainage uses wood therapy tools to gently stimulate lymph flow, reducing fluid retention and puffiness while detoxifying the skin. It's especially effective for heat-related swelling common in Graniteville's warm climate. At Skyntimacy Beauty, we combine it with aromatherapy and an express facial for visible revitalization.What's included in a diamond detox facial?
A diamond detox facial includes diamond-tip microdermabrasion, double cleansing, exfoliation, extractions as needed, a custom mask, and aromatherapy-enhanced massage. This method brightens skin tone, clears congestion from humidity, and improves circulation. At Skyntimacy Beauty, all new clients start with a 15-minute consultation to personalize treatment.When should you get a pedicure before an event?
Book your pedicure 1–3 days before your event for optimal polish durability and smoothness. This timing allows any minor redness to fade while keeping feet polished and fresh. At Skyntimacy Beauty, specialty pedicures with lymphatic drainage or hot stones are popular for weddings and formal occasions.What's the difference between a Brazilian and bikini wax?
A bikini wax removes hair along the panty line and provides a shape-up, while a Brazilian removes nearly all hair from the intimate area. Brazilians offer longer-lasting smoothness ideal for South Carolina's warm weather. At Skyntimacy Beauty, all intimate waxing is women-only and performed with gentle, sanitary techniques.How do you prepare skin for a chemical peel facial?
Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and sun exposure for 3–5 days before your appointment to reduce sensitivity. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin if possible. At Skyntimacy Beauty, the Vitamin Chi + Chemical Peel includes a consultation to ensure your skin is ready for safe, effective results.Why do pedicures include microdermabrasion at some spas?
Microdermabrasion buffs away dead skin and rough patches on heels and feet more effectively than manual scrubs alone, leaving skin silky and rejuvenated. At Skyntimacy Beauty, our Signature and Specialty Pedicures incorporate microdermabrasion along with hot stones, massage, and essential oils for a luxurious experience.Can lymphatic drainage help reduce leg swelling from standing?
Yes, lymphatic drainage stimulates circulation and helps flush retained fluids, which is beneficial for people who stand long hours at work. At Skyntimacy Beauty, we offer targeted lymphatic treatment for thighs, arms, or abdomen—perfect for Graniteville and Aiken professionals and SRS commuters.What's a vajacial and who needs one?
A vajacial is a facial treatment for the intimate area, including double cleansing, steaming, extractions, and a custom mask to prevent ingrown hairs and improve skin texture. It's ideal after waxing or for clients experiencing irritation. At Skyntimacy Beauty, it's often bundled with a Brazilian for complete care.How long does brow tinting last in humid climates?
Brow tinting typically lasts 3–5 weeks, even in humid conditions like those in Graniteville and Aiken. The long-lasting formula resists fading from sweat and moisture. At Skyntimacy Beauty, brow tinting and shaping are customized to enhance symmetry and complement your natural features.What's the biggest mistake people make before waxing?
The most common mistake is shaving too close to your appointment or arriving with hair that's too short. Hair should be at least a quarter-inch long for wax to grip effectively. At Skyntimacy Beauty, we provide pre-care guidance and gentle techniques to ensure smooth, long-lasting results.Do mobile pedicure services bring all their own equipment?
Yes, mobile services include a fully portable setup with sanitized tools, professional-grade products, and everything needed for pedicures, manicures, haircuts, or blowouts at your location. At Skyntimacy Beauty, mobile services are ideal for busy professionals, seniors, bridal parties, and group events throughout the CSRA.Why book a consultation before your first facial?
A consultation allows your esthetician to assess your skin type, concerns, and sensitivities to create a customized treatment plan and avoid reactions. At Skyntimacy Beauty, all new facial clients receive a required 15-minute consultation to ensure safe, results-focused care using organic products and aromatherapy.
