Do regular facials keep pimples away?

24/7 Girl Vintage article

MYTH: ‘Regular facials keep pimples away.’

No, they don’t. That’s not to say that facials aren’t great, a good facial can make you feel amazing, but they’re no miracle procedure, and getting them regularly isn’t the answer to all your skin woes.

FacialFacials can range from a basic cleanse and exfoliation treatment to a full-on skin overhaul. They can also include a range of different creams, potions and so called ‘miracle’ ingredients, but the basic function of a facial is to give your pores a deep down clean and remove the dead layers of surface skin. Because of this they’re great to have when your skin is particularly dry, or playing up.

Keep in mind though that when you get a facial everything is brought to the surface of your skin, so there’s a chance things may get worse before they get better.

Getting a facial 4 times a year (at the change of season) is a great treat and more than enough! And if the bank funds don’t extend to getting one done professionally, give yourself a mini one every day with a product that gives you a deep down clean.

If you’ve got a skin question, we’d be happy to answer it - just let us know!

Whoa! same here I definitely recommend Garnier, it has helped my skin so much! I hardly ever get breakouts. Article is interesting, didn’t know that a facial brings everything to the surface.

I used to have absolutely terrible skin and bad acne breakouts but I use garnier - pure and it really works!!!

I use Olay facial cleansers for blemish prone skin. Theyre great. Keep the blemishes away and stop your skin from aging at the same time. Expensive, but they’re worth it.

Clean and Clear has never worked for me - or anyone I know. 
Drink lots of water - that clears up your face realllly well.

I find that my skin is in better condition when I don’t over-do all the skincare products. I tend to stick to just cleansers and moisturisers, and it seems to be working fine.
