A standard facial usually takes 45 to 90 minutes, and shorter express facials run about 30 minutes. Add a few minutes at the start for a skin consultation.
Many professionals suggest every 4 to 6 weeks, though the best schedule depends on your skin and goals. Your esthetician can recommend a routine after assessing your skin.
A typical facial starts with a consultation and cleansing, then exfoliation, a facial massage, a mask and moisturiser. Some facials add extractions or other steps.
Arrive with little or no makeup if you can, and tell your esthetician about allergies, skin conditions and products you use. Ask whether to avoid exfoliating products for a day or two beforehand.
Many estheticians suggest waiting a few hours so your skin can settle, but it depends on the treatment. Ask for aftercare advice at the end of your appointment.
