How often can you have a Facial?
Posted by: Dr. Thomas Wright : Category: Cosmetic Derm
I just got a facial, my last one was over 6 years ago. Should there be a regularity to how often I get a facial? Also, what kind of facial is best for overall skin health?
You can have facials as often as you like as long as they are not irritating your skin.
It would probably not be best to have them any closer together than 7 days as you may risk skin irritation. As all alternative to weekly facials, you may want to consider getting on a healthy exfoliating skin care product like a glycolic acid based wash or pad. Glycolic acid encourages exfoliation, which means that your skin cells reproduce more quickly and your skin generally feels softer and smoother.
