If you’re like most women, you try to keep your skin as healthy as possible. Most women use makeup on a regular or daily basis, which can result in damage to your skin and age it faster. Thus, in addition to wearing makeup, it’s important to engage in a skin rejuvenation regimen as well. A fantastic way to keep your dermal layer looking young and revitalized is to get a facial. Facials help remove dead skin, exfoliate your pores, and give your face a boost. There are multiple types of facials that can eliminate acne, hydrate your skin, or replenish essential vitamins and oils.

While facials are a vital part of any beauty regimen, you cannot get them all the time. Most dermatologists and estheticians recommend a facial every three to four weeks, with some even recommending them every six weeks or so. Remember that to get long lasting results you should keep a regular schedule so you can maximize the benefits of getting a facial.

But what about in between appointments? Since you only get a facial once a month or less, how can you keep your skin looking its best in the meantime? Here are the best ways to maintain and protect your skin between facials.

Don’t Pop Pimples

Nothing is quite as satisfying as popping that zit that just won’t go away. However, doing this can lead to scarring and damage your dermal layers. Even though in many cases, you may get a breakout shortly after getting a facial, it’s imperative that you leave the pimples alone. Usually, they will go away in a couple of days, so just be patient. In addition to avoiding zit-popping, don’t do any extractions yourself either. Unless you are a pro, you can cause more damage than good.

Follow Your Esthetician’s Advice

When you get a facial, chances are the professional who did it will talk with you about what you can do to enhance your results. Usually, this involves creams, lotions, and other products that should be used in between visits on a regular basis. While some of us may think it’s all just a sales pitch, the fact is that your esthetician knows what is best and how to get the best results. Follow the advice given to you and you will keep your skin glowing all the way until your next facial.

At-Home Facials

While going to a professional will yield much better results, an at-home facial mask can be a great way to keep those results looking fresh in the meantime. We don’t recommend doing a mask every day, but as long as you use them routinely, it should help you maintain the results of your professional facial.

Keeping your skin looking fresh, young, and healthy is not an easy task. However, if you follow the proper steps and maintain a regular beauty regimen, then you can have great-looking skin at any age.
