How Should You Care for Your Skin Post-Facial?

“Many people ask if they can apply makeup after a facial,” says Cox. “The answer is yes, technically, but I encourage clients to give their skin a treat by giving it a chance to soak up the effects of the treatment.” With that in mind, she recommends allowing your skin to “rest” makeup-free until the following day.   

How Often Should You Get a Facial for Best Results?

If you’re dealing with acne or hyperpigmentation, Cox may recommend a weekly treatment until the issue improves. Then, she suggests going in every four to six weeks. For everyone else, she says that getting a facial every four weeks is typically sufficient. Can’t swing that? We hear you. Once a season can also be beneficial.
