Custom Facials & Chemical Peels in O'Fallon, MO

A custom facial is a skincare session shaped around your individual skin type and concerns rather than a fixed routine. It typically includes cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, with the specific products and steps chosen for your skin on the day. Because it is customized, one visit might focus on dryness while another focuses on congestion or dullness. A custom facial improves the appearance of the skin and leaves it feeling clean and refreshed, and it is non-medical in nature. These sessions are available to adults in the O'Fallon, Missouri area who want a personalized skincare treatment. At Esthetics By Terry, a facial is booked as a single appointment at the O'Fallon studio, and the details are decided once you are in the chair.

Many spas offer set facials with a fixed list of steps that are the same for everyone. A custom facial takes a different approach: the esthetician assesses your skin at the start and adjusts the exfoliation, mask, and products to match what your skin needs that day. That means the same appointment can suit oily, dry, or combination skin without picking from a rigid menu. Terry works with professional skincare lines, including Epionce, Dermalogica, Face Reality, and Esthemax, and selects from them for your skin at the appointment. If you are not sure which facial suits you, ask when you book, and if a light exfoliation is not enough, a chemical peel may be discussed as an alternative.

A chemical peel uses an acid solution to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, encouraging the surface to shed and reveal smoother-looking skin underneath. At Esthetics By Terry, peels are performed by a licensed esthetician, not a medical provider. The peel is tailored at your appointment, and Terry selects the solution from her professional skincare lines, including Epionce, Dermalogica, Face Reality, and Esthemax, to work at the skin's surface. A peel smooths and improves the appearance of the skin's surface, and it can be a good next step when a facial alone is not enough. Peels are offered to adults in the O'Fallon area who want surface exfoliation from a licensed esthetician.

A surface peel loosens the bonds between dead skin cells so they lift away over the following days, which is why some peels are followed by light flaking. Because a peel works on the skin's surface, Terry gives any aftercare guidance in person so it fits your skin. If you are using active skincare such as a prescription retinoid, mention it when you book, since some peels are not a fit alongside certain products. If you are unsure which to start with, ask and Terry can point you toward the right one.

For a relaxing, tailored reset, a custom facial is usually the place to start. If you are focused on surface texture and dullness, a chemical peel adds a stronger exfoliation step, and many people alternate between them over time. For a needle-based option aimed at texture, you can also look at microneedling at the same studio. Esthetics By Terry offers custom facials and chemical peels by appointment in O'Fallon, and clients come from across St. Charles County. Prices are listed on the online booking site.
