How Often Should You Get a Facial? A Skin Expert Explains

If you’ve ever wondered “How often should I really be getting a facial?” you’re not alone. Facials are one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy, glowing skin, but timing matters.

At Grace Hair and Beauty Salon in Brisbane, our skin therapists are often asked how frequently facials should be done and whether they’re truly worth it. The short answer? Yes and consistency is key.

Let’s break it down in a simple, skin-loving way 

Why Facials Are More Than Just a Treat
While facials feel relaxing (and they absolutely should!), they’re also an essential part of professional skin care. A good facial can:
  • Deeply cleanse and detox the skin
  • Improve circulation and skin renewal
  • Treat concerns like acne, pigmentation, and dryness
  • Slow visible signs of ageing
  • Help your skincare products work better
Think of facials as a reset button for your skin especially with Brisbane’s heat, humidity, and sun exposure.

Understanding Your Skin Cycle (The Key to Timing)
Your skin naturally renews itself every 28–30 days. During this cycle:

  • New skin cells are created
  • Old, dull cells move to the surface
  • Dead skin sheds naturally (or sometimes… not so naturally!)
Facials work best when they align with this cycle. That’s why most skin experts recommend one facial every 4 weeks it supports healthy cell turnover and keeps your skin at its best.

Normal or Balanced Skin

Every 4–6 weeks
Maintains hydration, glow, and overall skin health.
Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Every 4 weeks
Regular facials help restore moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
Oily or Acne-Prone Skin

Every 2–4 weeks
Helps control oil, clear congestion, and reduce breakouts safely.
Sensitive Skin

Every 4–6 weeks
Gentle, customised facials calm redness and strengthen the skin.
Ageing or Pigmented Skin

Every 3–4 weeks
Encourages collagen production and improves tone and texture over time.

At Grace Hair and Beauty Salon, we tailor every facial to your skin’s needs  no one-size-fits-all treatments here.

Can You Overdo Facials?

Yes more isn’t always better. Too many facials, especially aggressive ones, can irritate the skin. That’s why professional advice matters.

Our experienced skin therapists will create a treatment plan that works with your skin, not against it.

Why Regular Facials Give Better Results

One facial is lovely… but consistent facials deliver real change.

With regular treatments, you’ll notice:

  • Clearer pores
  • Brighter, smoother skin
  • Improved elasticity
  • Longer lasting results from your home skincare

It’s like going to the gym consistency brings results
