Add-on treatments are often coupled into a facial to further treat the skin’s needs.
The Benefits of Facials
Facials can be performed on the face and body.
However, the benefits don’t end there.
“Regular facials are also a great form of self-care and relaxation.”
With a facial, you’ll typically see the benefits immediately.
Usually, the skin appears more hydrated, plumper, radiant, and luminous after a treatment.
How Often Should You Get a Facial?
Our experts say the skin cell regeneration cycle takes about four weeks.
Both Dr. Murphy-Rose and Reszko recommend coming to a facial appointment with clean skin without makeup, if possible.
Dr. Reszko adds that drinking plenty of water before a facial is also recommended.
After
After a facial, you should be gentle with your skin.
Instead, she recommends moisturizing the skin well andusing sunscreen.
To maintain the results of your facial, Dr. Reszo suggests incorporating specific tools into your routine.
Getting facial treatments more often than this cadence can lead to a compromised skin barrier and irritation.
