Facials are one of the best ways to care for your skin. They cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and help address concerns like breakouts, dullness, or aging. But one of the most common questions we hear at Dream Spa Medical is: how often should I get a facial?
The answer depends on your skin, goals, and lifestyle, but here’s what we recommend.
General Rule: Once a Month
For most people, a facial every four to six weeks is ideal. That’s because skin regenerates about once a month. Regular treatments help remove dead skin cells, clear pores, and maintain healthy skin before issues like congestion or dullness return.
Monthly facials help keep your skin on track and support long-term results.
Skin Type and Concerns Matter
Some skin types and concerns may benefit from more frequent treatments, especially during an active phase of correction.
You may need facials every two to three weeks if you are:
- Treating active acne
- Dealing with severe congestion
- Starting a new skin program
- Preparing for an event or photo shoot
If your skin is very sensitive or reactive, your provider may space treatments out a bit more to give your barrier time to recover.
Seasonal Adjustments
Your skin’s needs change with the seasons. Winter often requires more hydration, while summer may call for extra deep cleansing. Adjusting the type and frequency of your facials throughout the year helps keep your skin balanced and healthy in every season.
What Happens if You Wait Too Long?
Going too long between facials can lead to buildup of dead skin, breakouts, and a decline in results from your home routine. Professional treatments help reset your skin and support the results of your at-home care.
Skipping months at a time means each facial has to work harder to catch up.
