    The general rule: one facial per month (matching skin's 28-day renewal cycle). Oily/acne-prone skin may need every 2-3 weeks. Sensitive/dry skin may extend to 5-6 weeks.

    Quick Answer

    Most people benefit from monthly facials. Oily/acne-prone: every 2-3 weeks. Normal: monthly. Dry/sensitive: every 4-6 weeks. For events, increase frequency 3 months before. Consult your Stardom aesthetician for personalized schedule.

    Key Takeaways

    • General rule: 1 facial per month.
    • Oily/acne-prone: every 2-3 weeks.
    • Normal skin: monthly.
    • Dry/sensitive: every 4-6 weeks.
    • Event prep: increase frequency 3 months before.

    Why Monthly?

    Skin renews every 28 days. Monthly facials support this cycle: clearing dead cells, boosting circulation, and infusing nutrients just as new skin surfaces.

    Frequency by Skin Type

    Oily/acne-prone: Pores clog faster; every 2-3 weeks helps. Normal: Monthly works well. Dry: Less frequent; every 4-6 weeks prevents over-exfoliation. Sensitive: Every 5-6 weeks; let skin recover fully.

    Frequency by Goal

    Maintenance: Monthly. Anti-ageing: Monthly or bi-weekly initially. Acne clearance: Every 2-3 weeks. Bridal prep: Increase to bi-weekly 3 months before.

    When to Skip or Pause

    If skin is irritated, sunburned, or reactive, skip and wait for recovery. During active infections or cold sores, postpone. Post-procedure (chemical peel, laser), follow your dermatologist's advice.

    Professional Skin Care Tips

    Consistency matters more than occasional deep treatments. A monthly routine prevents buildup and maintains glow. Pair with at-home cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF for best results.
