How Often Should You Get a Facial for Healthy, Glowing Skin?

When it comes to skincare, facials are often seen as a luxurious treat—but they’re also one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy, radiant skin. Whether you’re new to facials or a seasoned pro, one common question we hear at Skinfluence is: How often should I be getting facials?

‍

The Short Answer: It Depends on Your Skin

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer because the ideal facial frequency depends on your skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and budget. However, as a general rule of thumb, most people benefit from a facial once every 4 to 6 weeks. That’s because this timeframe aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle.

‍

Why Monthly Facials Make Sense

‍

Your skin is constantly changing—it’s exposed to environmental stressors, hormonal shifts, and seasonal changes. Monthly facials allow us to regularly assess what your skin needs and adjust your treatment accordingly. Think of it like going to the gym for your skin—consistency is key.

‍

Factors That May Affect Your Facial Schedule

‍

Here’s a quick guide based on skin goals:

• Acne-Prone Skin: Every 2–4 weeks. Regular treatments help manage breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent scarring.
• Dry or Sensitive Skin: Every 4–6 weeks. Hydration-focused facials can support your skin barrier and keep irritation at bay.
• Anti-Aging Goals: Every 4–6 weeks. Treatments that promote collagen production, like microneedling or our Red Carpet Facial, are most effective with consistency.
• Maintenance and Glow: Every 6 weeks or seasonally. Even if your skin is behaving well, a regular facial helps maintain your glow and refresh your routine.

What Happens If You Wait Too Long?

‍

Skipping facials for months at a time can mean slower progress on your skin goals. Without regular deep cleansing and exfoliation, congestion and dullness can build up, making at-home products less effective.
