How Often Should You Exfoliate or Get a Professional Facial? A Skincare Guide by Keita Beauty| Insights from Halifax’s Skincare Experts | Facials, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Intuitive Facial Massage

When it comes to achieving radiant, healthy skin, consistency is key—but so is knowing what your skin truly needs. At Keita Beauty, one of the most common questions we hear is: “How often should I exfoliate or book a professional facial?” The answer depends on your skin type, concerns, and the season.

Exfoliation: How Often Is Too Often?

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and boost the absorption of your skincare products. But overdoing it can lead to irritation and a damaged barrier.

Here’s a simple guide:

• Normal to Combination Skin: 2–3 times per week

• Dry or Sensitive Skin: 1–2 times per week with gentle exfoliants

• Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: 2–4 times per week, depending on product strength

• Mature Skin: 1–3 times per week, focusing on gentle enzyme or acid exfoliants

At Keita Beauty, we offer customized exfoliation during each facial based on what your skin actually needs—no guesswork required.

Professional Facials: How Often Should You Book?

Facials do more than just feel luxurious—they deeply cleanse, balance, hydrate, and treat specific concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or premature aging. The ideal frequency depends on your skin goals:

• For maintenance and glow: Once a month

• For acne or congestion: Every 2–3 weeks until skin stabilizes

• For hyperpigmentation or anti-aging: Monthly treatments for at least 3–6 months

• For sensitive or rosacea-prone skin: Every 4–6 weeks with gentle treatments

Our treatments always include lymphatic drainage and face sculpting massage to support skin detox and lift—making your results last even longer.
