You’ve just had a class reunion, and you met up with an ex-classmate whom you have not seen for 20 years. Mind you – she still has that dewy, luminous and smooth skin that barely gave out the hint that she’s in her 40’s.

You asked “You don’t look a day older! How is it possible to maintain that ageless look and natural glow!? And her reply, “Oh, I still go for my regular facials” (wink wink). 

And you secretly thought to yourself, “I wonder how regularly she goes for her facial then?”

This begs the question: How often should you get a facial?

THE ANSWER IS …. 

There’s no definitive answer to how often you should get a facial. 

Treatment frequency would depend on factors like your skin type, your skin concerns, your age and specific treatments used. Still, the general recommendation is to get a facial every four weeks. Why four weeks?

Four weeks because it’s how long the skin’s life cycle is. New skin cells will have enough time to generate and reach the surface. At this point, they’re ready to be sloughed off. Four weeks is also enough time to give your skin time to heal and regenerate.

In this article, we’ll go over the basics of a facial, the benefits of getting one, and what type of professional facials can provide you a way to achieve that glowing, clear and bright skin.  

WHAT IS A FACIAL?

A facial is a skin treatment that often includes skin deep cleansing, professionally performed by licensed aestheticians, and sometimes by dermatologists too. Your skin can really reap the rewards when it’s had professional treatment.

BENEFITS OF GETTING A FACIAL

If you’re thinking how is it possible that your ex-classmate in her 40’s is able to keep her skin healthy and glowing, here’s what regular facial treatments can do for you too:

• Exfoliates and removes dead skin cells

Facials offer the basic benefits of exfoliation, effectively eliminating dead skin cells from the surface. This process unveils the radiant, clearer and glowing skin that lies beneath. 

• Deep cleanses and purifies pores

Over time, skin and its pores collect dirt, oil, bacteria and impurities, which, if left unaddressed, can lead to acne and other skin concerns. Facials provide a thorough deep cleansing for your face, removing these impurities and promoting clearer, healthier skin. 

• Customised to your skin concerns

Facial treatments can be tailored to address your individual skin needs and concerns. 

• Relaxes and pampers the skin

Often touted as occasional luxury, it has become more of a necessity now more than ever. Not only do facials relax and pamper you, they also provide a soothing experience that helps to destress your skin, especially if you’ve been under a lot of stress lately.

READY TO REVEAL YOUR SKIN’S TRUE POTENTIAL?

Are you looking for a facial treatment but not sure which one suits you better? Here are 3 facial treatment options you can do every three to four weeks that will keep your skin radiant with a tinge of glow. 

1) O2toDerm

Fancy having your face trapped in an oxygen dome and nourished with “vitamins in the air”? It is understood that skin cells that are fully oxygenated via an oxygen facial will look bright and youthful. Super relaxing and pampering, O2toDerm Oxygen facial  works beautifully as maintenance in between regularly scheduled facials, or can be incorporated in many other treatments. 

2) Microdermabrasion (Exfoliates-Extracts)

Microdermabrasion is a type of treatment that uses tiny crystal grains on a handpiece to remove dead skin on the surface. Regular sessions of microdermabrasion may even be able to “train” your skin to grow new cells at a faster rate, bringing the healthy skin cells to the surface more quickly than usual. You can expect a fresh, radiant glow after this.

3) Silk Peel (Exfoliates-Extracts-Infuses)

Similar to Microdermabrasion’s function, Silkpeel Dermal-infusion is, however, a level above microdermabrasion. This is because this treatment is working in dual function as it treats the skin while delivering nutrition from the topical solution into the deeper layers of the skin. This aids in the revitalisation of the skin, making it look more healthy, brighter and smoother.
