How Often Should You Get A Facial?
Often my clients ask me “How often should I get facials”? This is a great question because it depends on your skin, individual concerns and age. Together we can create a custom treatment plan that suits your needs to give you your best skin ever! Let’s answer the question of how often you should get a facial by learning more about what facials do? What happens during a facial? Do facials actually work? And what are the benefits of facials?
What do facials do?
Each facial treatment is unique and custom just for your skin and your needs. But every facial has one thing in common, luxurious deep relaxation! A facial:
deep cleans your skin
softens dull skin
removes dry skin with gentle exfoliation
unclogs your pores
firms and hydrates
A facial leaves your skin glowing! There are so many benefits to getting facials regularly.
Increase the circulation in your skin and this stimulation will increase collagen production, keeping your skin youthful and firm.
Reduce your acne and start on the path to clearer skin.
Smoother texture. If you are noticing dry patches or a bumpy texture- a facial will gently polish this rough skin away to reveal smooth, glowing skin.
What happens during a facial?
Deep cleanse your pores, a double cleanse for your skin under a gentle warm steam to soften dirt and oil in the pores. Cleanser is removed with a hot steam towel, gently removing all the dirt and debris. The last bit of stress melts away and you know you are in for a treat!
Professional exfoliation is essential for removing dull skin and we have a variety of products to do this but frequently we select a hydrating enzyme. Gentle enzymes dissolve the dead skin cells off and reveal fresh, new skin. We use warm steam and a hot towel to remove the enzyme, uncovering refreshed skin.
Analysis of your skin under the magnifying lamp to learn more about your skin needs and concerns and discuss our thoughts with you.
Extractions to unclog the pores are typical for a traditional facial treatment. Extractions are not everyone’s favorite part but some of us love this step! Extractions, especially if we are treating acne are essential to clearing the skin and reducing pore size. Communication through each step to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.
Customized treatments that include masks to soothe and hydrate, speciality treatments like LED light, cooling ice globes to soothe and calm the skin, dermaplane to remove peach fuzz and dead skin and leave your skin smooth. Your esthetician will discuss which treatment speciality is best for your skin on the day we are seeing you.
Each treatment is different and customized just for you! All facials include:
Professional cleansing and exfoliation
Upper body massage and facial massage to give you the ultimate bliss and pampering
Custom serums
Moisturizer
SPF to protect your skin
Lip balm to hydrate your lips.
How often should you get a facial?
Often we recommend a facial treatment once every 4 weeks but every one will have unique needs so let’s have a consultation and find out!
Is having a facial more frequently better?
Could you have a weekly facial professional facial? Yes, you can have a weekly facial. If you want to achieve your results more quickly. However this might not be the best option for sensitive skin types. We will work with you to balance your skin goals with your budget needs.
What are some factors to consider when deciding how often you need a facial?
What is your primary concern?
What is your homecare routine like currently and what kind of treatment are you hoping for today?
Do you have mature skin that is experiencing dryness, wrinkles and rough texture? A facial can help with this! Age is a concern and as we age our skin cell turnover starts to slow down. We have more dead, dull skin building up and we need to exfoliate more frequently. If you are concerned with aging skin, wrinkles or dull skin we should see you every 4-6 weeks. We can alternate facials with gentle chemical peels to really get you glowing! Or continue with monthly hydrating or deep cleansing facials to give you a dose of relaxation, aromatherapy and just enough exfoliation to make it all worthwhile.
If you are dealing with acne at any age, young or old we would like to start with a comprehensive consultation to uncover why you are experiencing acne. We will create a treatment plan that includes professional facial treatments and home care products to get your skin clear and gorgeous. If you have a lot of clogged pores to work on we ideally start seeing you every 2 wks and then follow-up with a facial every 4 wks. This is ideal to help interrupt the acne cycle and help you achieve your clear skin goals.
Do facials actually work?
YES! Your skin will feel and look better immediately after your treatment.
Are facials necessary?
Yes! A facial is an essential luxury for all skin types. You will leave with cleansed pores, hydrated and plump skin and a detailed consultation to discuss your needs and home care routine options to keep the glow going. Your esthetician will relieve your stress with a luxe and delightful environment. Aromatherapy, a heated treatment bed, elegant, ambient music, warm towels are part of every treatment we offer.
