One of the most common questions clients ask me is: “How often should I get a
facial?” The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all—it depends on your skin, your goals, and
your lifestyle.
If you’re in Los Angeles, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach,
Torrance, El Segundo, or Hawthorne, here’s what you need to know about the ideal
facial schedule for healthy, glowing skin.
Why Regular Facials Matter
Facials aren’t just about pampering—they’re professional treatments that go deeper
than what you can achieve at home. Regular facials help to:
- Prevent clogged pores and breakouts
- Smooth and brighten skin tone
- Boost hydration and barrier function
- Reduce signs of aging like fine lines and loss of elasticity
- Support skin recovery from sun exposure (a must in Southern California!)
How Often Should You Really Get a Facial?
The general rule of thumb is every 4–6 weeks. Here’s why:
✨ Skin Cell Turnover Cycle
It takes about 28 days for skin cells to renew. Scheduling facials monthly aligns with
your skin’s natural cycle, so treatments are more effective.
✨ Acne-Prone or Congested Skin
Clients in LA, Torrance, and Redondo Beach dealing with acne often benefit from
facials every 2–4 weeks at the beginning, then moving to monthly once skin improves.
✨ Hyperpigmentation or Anti-Aging
For clients in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El Segundo focusing on sun
damage, dark spots, or fine lines, monthly facials help maximize results from chemical
peels, exfoliation, and LED therapy.
✨ Sensitive or Balanced Skin
If your skin is relatively stable, facials every 6–8 weeks may be enough to maintain glow
and prevent issues.
Customized Facials vs. Spa Facials: Why It Matters
Not all facials are created equal. At Emily Nicole Studio in Hermosa Beach, every
treatment is customized to your skin’s unique needs. That means your facial schedule
may differ depending on your goals:
- Acne clearing → more frequent at first
- Pigmentation and anti-aging → monthly consistency
- Maintenance and relaxation → every 6 weeks
This tailored approach ensures you’re not just getting facials—you’re getting results.
Common Client Questions
Will my skin break out after my first facial?
Sometimes! This is called “purging” and it’s temporary as your pores clear.
Can I get a facial before a big event?
Yes, but schedule it at least 5–7 days before to allow your skin to fully settle.
Are monthly facials really necessary if I have a good home routine?
Yes—professional treatments reach layers of skin and provide tools (like extractions and
LED therapy) that home care simply can’t.
Why LA & South Bay Clients Love Monthly Facials
Between the sun, smog, and fast-paced lifestyle of Los Angeles, your skin faces
daily stressors. Clients across Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach, El
Segundo, Hawthorne, and Manhattan Beach often tell me they notice fewer
breakouts, brighter skin, and better long-term results when they stick to a regular facial
schedule.
