Why Should You Get a Facial Every Month? Here's What the Experts Explain
Many skin care experts recommend having facials done regularly, ideally once a month.
However, are monthly facials really necessary? The following is an explanation based on expert opinions.
The Skin Regeneration Cycle Lasts About 28 Days
According to beauty and dermatologist experts, the skin continually renews itself through a process of cell replacement. After the cycle is complete, dead skin cells need to be cleaned so that the skin remains bright, smooth and able to absorb skincare products more optimally.
Beauty magazine Allure explains that facials every month are in harmony with the skin's regeneration cycle, thereby helping maintain consistent skin health.
Cleans Skin Deeper Than Home Treatments
Cleansing your face twice a day is important, but home treatments are not always able to remove dirt, oil, blackheads and dead skin cells completely.
Summarizing from the Cleveland Clinic, professional facials provide a process of cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and treatments tailored to each skin condition.
Esthetician Amanda Kanaan explains that facials help skin stay healthy, hydrated and look more radiant. Facials can also help shrink the appearance of pores, reduce excess oil production, increase blood circulation, and support skin cell regeneration.
Helps skincare products work more optimally
The buildup of dead skin cells can inhibit the absorption of serum and moisturizer. With professional exfoliation during facials, the active ingredients in skincare penetrate more easily into the skin layers so that daily care results are more optimal.
This is also explained in the discussion regarding the benefits of monthly facials which states that professional removal of dead skin cells helps increase the effectiveness of skincare products used at home.
Facials must be adjusted to skin conditions
Not all types of facials are suitable for everyone. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), masks and facial treatments should be chosen based on skin conditions, such as dry, oily, sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Dermatologist Dr. Oyetewa Asempa, MD, FAAD, explained that facials can be a complement to skincare routines to increase hydration and soothe the skin, but are not a substitute for daily skincare routines or medical therapy if there are certain skin diseases.
Meanwhile Dr. Lauren Fine, MD, FAAD, emphasized that facials should be done according to the skin's needs and not excessively so as not to cause irritation or damage the skin barrier.
Monthly facials may be an option for those of you who have:
- Dull and tired looking skin.
- Blackheads that often appear.
- Oily or acne-prone skin.
- Dry and dehydrated skin.
- Signs of premature aging begin to appear.
- Want to maintain healthy skin preventively.
With regular evaluations from a professional therapist, the type of treatment can be adjusted according to changes in skin condition every month.
