Facial treatments are a great way to rejuvenate the skin and keep it looking healthy and glowing. However, the frequency of getting a facial can vary depending on individual skin types, needs, and goals. In this post, we’ll discuss how often you should get a facial to achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin.

First, let's define what a facial even is! A facial is a cosmetic treatment performed on the face, typically in a spa or salon, that typically involves cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin. It may also include other treatments such as extractions, massages, masks, and the application of serums or other skin care products.

So, just how often should you get a facial? A general guideline is every 4-6 weeks; your skin turns over roughly every 30 days so this makes it the sweet spot to get rid of dead skin and target the fresh skin underneath. This frequency is ideal for most people as it allows time for the skin to recover and replenish itself between treatments, while still getting the benefits of regular facials.

If you have particularly sensitive or reactive skin, you may want to start with facials every 8-12 weeks and gradually increase the frequency as your skin becomes more accustomed to the treatments. On the other hand, if you have severe skin issues such as acne, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation, it may be best to get facials more frequently, such as every 2-4 weeks, until your skin improves.

It's SO important to remember that everyone's skin is different and what works for one person may not work for another. (cough cough: not taking skin tips from social media instead of listening to a licensed professional who KNOWS your skin).  It's always a good idea to consult with an esthetician to determine the best facial schedule for your skin type and goals!

In conclusion, the frequency of getting a facial depends on individual skin types and goals. A general guideline is to get a facial every 4-6 weeks, but this can vary! Regular facials can help keep your skin looking healthy and radiant, and they're a great way to pamper yourself as well as take care of your skin. It’s a win-win either way!
