Start with your skin.
Tell us what you’re experiencing, what you’ve tried, and what you’d like to improve. A licensed Pausa esthetician will review your concerns and recommend the right next step.
Not sure where to start?
Acne, pigmentation, sensitivity, aging, product confusion — different concerns need different approaches. Instead of guessing at a treatment or adding another product to your routine, start by telling us what’s actually going on.
We’ll help you make sense of it.
A Better Place to Start
From question to
clear next step.
How It Works
Step 01.
Tell us what's going on.
Share your concerns, goals, current routine, and anything you've already tried. Photos can help us understand what you're seeing.
Step 02.
We assess.
A licensed Pausa esthetician personally reviews what you share and considers your skin, routine, concerns, and goals together.
Step 03.
You get a plan.
We'll explain what we'd do next — whether that's adjusting home care, choosing a treatment, starting a longer-term program, or simply giving your skin more time.

A Longer-Term Plan

Yes. There’s no cost to ask a Pausa esthetician for guidance, and you don’t need to book an appointment first. The goal is to help you understand what your skin may need and what your best next step could be.
Your message is personally reviewed by a licensed Pausa esthetician — not a quiz, chatbot, or automated recommendation. We’ll consider what you’re experiencing, what you’ve already tried, and what you’d like to improve before responding.
Not necessarily. Start by telling us what’s going on. If seeing your skin would help us give you better guidance, we may ask you to send a few clear, makeup-free photos afterward.
We personally review each message, so responses aren’t automated. You can typically expect to hear from us within 1–2 business days.
No. Sometimes the right next step is a professional treatment or a change to your home-care routine — and sometimes it may be something much simpler. We’ll tell you what we genuinely think makes the most sense for your skin.
Your answers aren’t submitted to Pausa through the website. They’re used to create a prefilled text message on your phone, which you can review before choosing to send it. Nothing is sent until you press Send in your messaging app.

Common questions about our advice line.
Yes, completely free. Share your skin concern and one of our licensed estheticians will give you honest, personalized advice at no cost and with no obligation. It's our way of helping you take the first step toward healthier skin.
A real, licensed Pausa esthetician, never a bot or an automated script. We personally read what you share and reply with advice tailored to your skin, your concerns, and your goals.
Never. Our goal is to give you honest advice and point you in the right direction. If a treatment would genuinely help, we'll let you know, but what you do next is completely up to you. No pressure, no hard sell.
We usually reply within 1 to 2 business days. Because a real esthetician is personally reviewing your skin and writing your advice, we take the time to give you a thoughtful response rather than a rushed, generic one.
We'll reach out by text using the phone number you provide, so it's easy to chat back and forth and ask any follow-up questions. If you'd prefer email instead, just let us know.
Anything. Breakouts, dark spots, texture, redness, aging, dryness, or simply not knowing where to start. No question is too small or too embarrassing. If it's on your mind, we're happy to help you figure it out.
Not at all. This is a great way for new faces to get to know us and get real guidance before ever booking. Whether you're brand new to Pausa or a longtime client, you're welcome to reach out.
