As a licensed Esthetician and skincare enthusiast, I know that facials can be a vital part of maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Whether you’re new to facials or a seasoned pro, this FAQ guide will help you understand how to prepare for a facial, what to do afterward, and how often you should get one based on your skin type.

1. How Do I Prepare for a Facial?

Preparing for your facial ensures you get the most out of your treatment. Here’s how to get ready:

Stop Using Accutane/Isotretinoin: Discontinue use at least 30 days prior to your facial, as these medications can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning beds for at least a week before your facial to prevent sunburn and skin damage. Apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
Hydrate and eat well: Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your facial. Hydrated skin responds better to treatments. Avoid heavy or greasy foods.
Adjust Your Skincare Routine: Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and strong active ingredients 48 hours before your facial. Stick to a basic routine—cleanse, moisturize, and apply sunscreen.
Skip Waxing or Threading: Avoid these treatments for at least 24-48 hours before your facial.
Relax: Get a good night’s sleep to ensure you are well-rested and your skin is in its best condition.
Share Your Skin Concerns: Be ready to discuss your skin concerns and goals with your esthetician.

2. What Should I Do After a Facial?

Post-facial care is crucial to maintain and enhance the results. Here’s what you should do:

Follow Aftercare Instructions: Listen to the Esthetician’s personalized advice.
Hydrate Your Skin: Drink water and use a hydrating serum or moisturizer.
Avoid Makeup: Let your skin breathe for at least 24 hours.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun: Apply sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure. Wear a hat and stay in the shade.
Skip Exfoliation and Harsh Products: Avoid exfoliating products and harsh ingredients for 3-5 days. Cleanse, hydrate, and protect your skin with a basic routine.
Avoid Touching Your Face: Prevent introducing bacteria and causing irritation.
Monitor Your Skin: Pay attention to how your skin reacts and maintain regular facials.

3. How Often Should I Get a Facial?

The frequency of facials depends on your skin type:

Normal Skin: Once a Month. Regular facials help maintain balance and health.
Dry Skin: Once a Month. Replenish moisture and soothe dryness.
Oily Skin: Once a Month. Control oil production and prevent breakouts.
Aging Skin: Once a Month. Address fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
Acne-Prone Skin: Bi-Weekly. The Acne Bootcamp Acne Treatment should be done at least bi-weekly to manage and prevent breakouts effectively.

4. Why Should I Follow These Guidelines?

Consistency and proper care are key to achieving and maintaining healthy skin. Regular facials combined with a good home skincare routine can significantly improve your skin’s health and appearance. I will consult with you and give you personalized recommendations and adjust your routine as needed based on your skin’s response.
