How Often Should I Have a Facial?

For glowing, healthy skin that stays radiant between treatments, a professional facial every 4 to 6 weeks is ideal. This mirrors your skin’s natural renewal cycle and allows your therapist to address any seasonal changes or ongoing concerns.

If you’re managing specific skin issues like acne, pigmentation, or fine lines, a more frequent treatment plan (such as weekly for a month, then monthly maintenance) might be recommended. Express facials can also be a great top-up between longer sessions.

I will always talk through the best plan for your skin during your appointment, so you never feel rushed or overwhelmed — just glowing and confident.

Facial FAQs

How do you know what facial is right for you?

The best way to find your perfect facial is to have a quick consultation with your therapist. I’m takes the time to look at your skin, listen to your concerns, and recommend the most suitable treatment — whether you're dealing with dryness, dullness, breakouts or just want to glow. You don’t need to know in advance — I’ll guide you.

Which facial suits me?

If you're not sure what suits your skin, don't worry — that’s my job! Generally:

• HydraFacial is great for all skin types and perfect for a deep cleanse and hydration.
• Custom Made Facials are ideal if you want something gentle, tailored and relaxing or have a specific problem you want to tackle.
• Red Light Therapy suits sensitive, acne-prone or ageing skin.
• Hot Stone Facial is a favourite for those needing deep relaxation and glow.
  Just let me know your skin goals, and we’ll match you to the right facial.

What kind of facial is most effective?

The most effective facial is the one that targets your skin’s unique needs. For transformative results, the HydraFacial is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates — and it’s especially effective over a course of treatments. For a more natural, nurturing approach, our Custom Facial with Tropic Skincare delivers beautiful, balanced results.

How do I know what facial products I need?

Your skin changes with the seasons, hormones, stress and more — so your product needs can change too. During your facial, I will recommend skincare products based on your current skin condition and goals. You’ll leave with personalised advice that feels simple, not overwhelming.

How do I know my facial type?

By “facial type” we often mean your skin type — dry, oily, combination, sensitive or normal. But skin is more complex than labels! That’s why, before your treatment, I will assess your skin and ask a few questions. This helps me understand what your skin really needs at that moment, and tailor the facial accordingly.

How far in advance of my wedding should I get a facial?

For brides-to-be, I recommend starting a skincare routine around 6 months before your wedding. This gives time for regular facials (usually every 4–6 weeks), so your skin is in its best condition by the big day. If you're short on time, even one facial 7–10 days before can give your skin a gorgeous glow — just avoid trying anything completely new right before the event.

Which facial is best for a bride to be?

Our top pick for brides is the HydraFacial — it gives immediate radiance with no redness or downtime, perfect for photos and makeup application (after 24 hours). Pair it with a Red Light Therapy Facial or our deeply calming Custom Facial in the weeks leading up to your day for stress relief and that bridal glow.

What is the most effective type of facial?

The HydraFacial is widely regarded as one of the most effective facials available today. It combines exfoliation, extraction, and intense hydration in one treatment, all delivered with cutting-edge technology. Results are immediate and improve with regular sessions. However, the best facial is always the one suited to your skin — and that’s where my experience comes in.
