How Often Should You Get A Facial

 

Facials, a lavish indulgence for your skin, offer effective care that leaves you refreshed. The question arises: how often should you treat your skin with this pampering treatment? The answer isn't one-size-fits-all; it varies based on your skin's unique needs. Let's dive into the factors influencing facial frequencies and explore the optimal schedule for a glowing, radiant complexion.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HOW OFTEN YOU SHOULD GET A FACIAL:

Your skin undergoes a 28-day regeneration cycle, so ideally, you want to allow enough time for new cells to generate and make their way to the surface of the skin. This is the point when they’re ready to be sloughed off. You want to space facials out enough so that they’re effective but not irritating or damaging to your skin.

How often you get a facial comes down to how well you keep up with your skincare routine at home and your individual skincare needs. Generally it is about once every four to six weeks. For oily or acne-prone skin, consider a three-week interval, while those with sensitive skin may lean towards an eight-week timeframe.

It’s important to talk to your esthetician to choose the right treatments and products for your skin. After a proper assessment, they will be able to recommend an ideal schedule for your facials and a skincare routine to use at home.

BENEFITS OF REGULAR FACIALS:

Once you see the immediate glow following your facial, you may wonder if it’s worth it to schedule regular treatments. Even though you’ll see immediate results following your facial, your skin will gradually go back to its original state over time. This is why we recommend coming in for regular facials and the right products to use at home to maintain your results.

All of our facials at SKINCRVFT encompass deep cleaning, toning, exfoliation, extractions, and facial massage which unveil fresher, more radiant skin. Regular facials address acne, clogged pores, hyperpigmentation, dullness, and puffiness. The best part? The feeling of being completely pampered and relaxed.

DIY VS. PROFESSIONAL FACIALS:

Not all facials are created equally. While homemade facials assist skin health between professional treatments, the precision of a personalized plan is unmatched. Professional facials cater to unique skincare needs, ensuring targeted solutions for specific skin issues. If time constraints hinder regular visits, work with your esthetician to can develop a daily routine, incorporating products such as masks and tools suited for your skin.

If you’re still unsure how often you should receive a facial, work with your licensed esthetician to create a custom schedule. Book an appointment with SKINCRVFT and discover how our experienced esthetician can guide you towards achieving and maintaining plump, radiant-looking skin.
