Faking It’s Chemical Facial uses controlled exfoliating acids to dissolve dull surface build-up, decongest pores, and smooth texture. We calibrate the strength to your skin for visible results with minimal downtime. Your therapist monitors every step and finishes with calming hydration and SPF for a balanced, comfortable finish.
