How often you should get a facial depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals, but a general guideline is:


🗓️ Every 4–6 Weeks (for most people)

  • Skin’s natural cell turnover cycle is about 28 days—getting a facial around this time helps maintain clear, healthy skin.


🧴 By Skin Type:

Skin TypeRecommended FrequencyWhy
Oily / Acne-ProneEvery 2–4 weeksHelps control breakouts and congestion
Dry / SensitiveEvery 6–8 weeksPrevents over-exfoliation; supports barrier repair
Normal / CombinationEvery 4–6 weeksMaintains balance and glow
Mature / AgingEvery 4–5 weeksBoosts collagen, smooths fine lines

⚠️ Exceptions & Special Cases:

  • Before events (wedding, photoshoot): Schedule a facial at least 1 week ahead to avoid post-facial redness or purging.

  • Medical facials (like chemical peels, microneedling): Follow professional guidance—these may require longer spacing.

  • If you’re on retinoids or acne meds, your skin may be more sensitive; consult your dermatologist before facials.
