The Million Dollar Question: How Often Should You Get a Facial?
At JE’DERM skin atelier, we believe facials are more than a luxury — they’re a necessity for maintaining the health of your skin, which is your body’s largest organ. In Europe, regular facials have been a part of skincare routines for centuries and are seen as essential to overall wellness.
While treatments like pedicures or massages are sometimes viewed as indulgences, facials are a regular part of skin health, with women and men visiting their estheticians monthly from their teenage years onward.
In the U.S., facials are still considered by many as an extravagance, though we’re seeing a positive shift. People are realizing that just like eating healthy or exercising, regular facials contribute to better, longer-lasting skin health.
How Often Should You Get a Facial?
Ideally, we recommend getting a facial every four to six weeks to support your skin’s natural renewal process, aid in cell regeneration, and help keep it balanced, clear, and radiant.
But we also understand that monthly visits aren’t always feasible. However, even a routine every eight weeks can make a big difference.
Understanding Your Skin Type
Your skin is uniquely yours, and at JE’DERM, we take a personalized approach to ensure it receives the care it truly needs. While general skin types — oily, dry, combination, or sensitive — provide a helpful starting point, we know that most people experience a blend of skin types and conditions.
Factors like lifestyle, diet, hormones, stress, and environment create unique combinations, making your skin as distinctive as you are. It’s valuable to understand your skin type, but we often find that clients self-diagnose inaccurately, sometimes treating their skin based on perceived needs rather than its actual condition.
This is where a trusted professional can make all the difference! At JE’DERM, we don’t just treat your skin — we guide and educate you about it, helping you understand what it truly needs for optimal health and radiance. Each time you visit, we assess both your skin type and its current condition to create a treatment plan that truly suits you, ensuring your skin is cared for in the way it deserves.
Facials for Different Skin Types
As we mentioned before, we don’t separate facials by skin type alone. At JE’DERM, we believe that skin should always be looked at as a whole before we treat it, rather than offering a “one-size-fits-all” facial for a particular skin type.
While categories like oily, dry, combination, or sensitive provide a general roadmap, we also consider specific skin conditions that can fluctuate, such as dehydration, acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. These conditions are influenced by internal and external factors, including hormones, stress, and seasonal changes.
Our goal is to create balance, treating your skin holistically to address both immediate needs and long-term health.
Why Do Regular Facials Matter?
Our skin naturally renews itself approximately every 25 to 32 days, a process called cell turnover. During this cycle, new skin cells form and push older, dead skin cells to the surface, where they eventually shed. This process helps keep your skin looking fresh and smooth.
However, as we age, this cycle slows down, leading to a buildup of dead skin that can make your complexion look dull or uneven. Regular facials align with this cycle, helping to gently remove dead skin cells, support new cell regeneration, and stimulate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy in the skin.
Facials every four to six weeks are ideal to maintain this renewal rhythm, but even if you can only visit every eight weeks, it’s still beneficial for your skin’s health and appearance. Consistency is key! The more regularly you care for your skin, the better the cumulative effects.
Types of Professional Facials and Treatments
At JE’DERM, we offer a variety of facials and advanced treatments designed to address different skincare needs. Here’s a glimpse at some of our most popular services:
Signature Bespoke Facial: Our most personalized facial experience, tailored with advanced techniques specifically for your skin’s needs.

What To Expect During a Professional Facial
At JE’DERM, your facial experience is all about you. We start with a thorough consultation to understand your skin’s current condition, goals, and any concerns you may have.
Our facials typically include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (if needed), and potent serums, customized masks, followed by moisturizers suited to your skin type.
Depending on your needs, we may also incorporate advanced technologies like LED light therapy, oxygen therapy or ultrasound. By the end, your skin will feel refreshed, hydrated, and healthy.
The Importance of an At-Home Skincare Routine
While regular facials are a powerful way to boost your skin’s health, what you do at home every day is just as important to maintain and enhance those results. Consistently using the right skincare products can make all the difference in seeing lasting improvements.
Without an effective at-home skincare routine, you may not experience the full benefits of your facials, which could make your investment feel less impactful. That doesn’t mean you need a 10-step regimen! A simple foundation of cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and SPF is essential to support your skin’s health, keep dead skin cells in check, and protect your skin barrier.
From there, we can help you build a personalized routine that addresses your specific needs, ensuring each product complements your facials. At JE’DERM, we provide tailored product recommendations that fit into your lifestyle, keeping your skin glowing beautifully between appointments.
Skincare Products
Using the right skincare products is essential, but it’s also important to remember that these products take time to show results. We often see clients become impatient, jumping from product to product or trying the latest trend or something that worked for a friend.
Everyone’s skin is unique, and finding the right combination of ingredients is key. We work with scientifically-backed skincare lines proven to deliver visible results. For the best outcome, always consult with a professional to maximize the benefits of your skincare products.
Maintaining Results Between Sessions
In addition to a solid skincare routine, lifestyle choices can impact your skin's health and appearance. Staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress can all support your skin’s natural glow. And while facials are essential, your daily habits are what ultimately set the foundation for long-lasting skin health.
