The dilemma of choosing what and when from Face clean up and facial always hits us when we enter the salon! But what is the difference between these two exactly??

Face clean up and facial differ from each other on the basis of products and massages. Clean up unclogs pores and helps in radiance, whereas facials works with much deeper skin issues like age effects on skin, upliftment and removing dead skin.

Clean up can be opted for on a regular monthly basis whereas facials are preferred 3-4 months.

Facial gives deep cleaning of the skin and the frequency is completely dependent upon your preference which should ideally depend upon your skin type, skin condition, age and skincare goals.

It can vary from once every month which is considered ideal to once every 3-4 months.

Once a month is considered a perfect frequency for Facials as our Skin takes 30 days to the cells from deep inside (dermis) to the surface where they eventually get removed.

Getting a facial before event also works, but a regular skin cleansing and massage helps to maintain the glow prominently!

 

5. Facial prior to an event

If there is a big event coming up, try to get the facial atleast one week before the event for best results!

Getting a facial just before a big day may not yield the desired results as the skin tends to get patchy or swell right after facial. Also, there is a risk of breakouts on the skin since facials pull skin impurities to the surface which may cause breakouts.

 

6. Know about your skin sensitivity
