1. Orders & Shipping
We accept Visa, American Express, MasterCard, and PayPal for online purchases. The total dollar amount of your order is allocated at the time your card is approved. If your credit card is declined for any reason, your order will be automatically canceled. If you would like to make a purchase on payments you can sign up for PayPal Credit at checkout.
Art of Skin Care employs sophisticated encryption to protect the security of your credit card information. Every page that requires personal and credit card information uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, designed to render information unreadable should anyone try to intercept it. This special digital certificate encrypts credit card numbers and confirms that we are a secure & authorized site.
If your credit card was declined you may still see a temporary hold on your account from Art of Skin Care. The charge will go away shortly, depending on your bank's policies. Your order will need to be placed again with another form of payment, or by correcting any possible errors in billing address and zip code, or funds availability.

We ship to the USA and Canada. Some of our international clients have used the following third-party shippers, but please keep in mind that we do not guarantee delivery through these methods. We also don’t recommend ordering liquid products through third party shippers (like toners) because we have had clients experience difficulty getting them delivered.

Absolutely! Our Customer Care team can help you place an order over the phone Monday-Friday 8:30 am – 4:30 pm PST. Please note however that we cannot redeem loyalty rewards for you over the phone. If you wish to cash in rewards points you will need to place your order at Artofskincare.com. Our Customer Care team can walk you through the process if you are unsure!
First, check-in with your neighbors or around your front door. You would be surprised how many packages are found hiding in a bush! Next, try contacting your local post office. Many times, your package will be sitting on a shelf there waiting for you and the postal worker forgot to leave a note. If you purchased Route Insurance you can file a claim, though they also have a short waiting period after the declared delivery to make sure it doesn't turn up a day or two late.

6. Consultations
When you sign up for a consultation, you are paired with a licensed esthetician and essentially gain an “esti in your pocket”! You will send photographs of your skin to your esti and talk to her about all of your skin care concerns. She will advise you on products while working within your budget and taking into consideration all your skin’s individual needs. You will receive a personalized protocol as well as tips for your diet and lifestyle to keep your skin healthy. Acne consultations also come with bi-weekly coaching and support for 16 weeks after your initial consultation.
Not usually, most correspondence for consultations is done via e-mail. Of course, if you need to call the studio with questions about your orders, you are always welcome to do so at 916-249-2121 or reach out on live chat.
