How Often Should You Do Facials?

    Facials are a skin care practice used to nourish, exfoliate, and cleanse your skin. One of the main ways to achieve clear, healthy, and radiant skin is to get regular facials. With a bigger budget, your esthetician will take you through a skin analysis to provide you with the right care at the time you need it.

    Doing facials by yourself is budget friendly and to do it efficiently and safely, you need to understand your skin type. Here is how often each skin type should get facials according to The Facial Center:

• Dry/Sensitive Skin: Every 6 to 8 weeks that focuses on moisture and barrier strengthener. 
• Oily Skin: Every 3 to 4 weeks that focuses on deep cleaning to manage oil production.
• Combination Skin: Every 4 to 6 weeks that focus on keeping everything in balance by focusing on deep cleaning and moisture. 

    Anyone can get facials even without an esthetician. Doing facials at home is simple all you need is a consistent routine and a little patience with the process. With a safer budget you are able to steam and cleanse with a damp towel, exfoliate with a cleanser from a drugstore (like Walgreens or CVS), mask and hydrate with a clay mask. With a bigger budget around $75 to $300 you are able to book express facials, visit a local beauty school, and/or use student memberships (GoodRx).
