For Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
Oily skin benefits from facials that focus on deep cleansing and oil control without stripping the skin completely, which can actually trigger more oil production. Gentle exfoliation and clay-based treatments work well to manage excess oil and keep pores clear without causing irritation.
- Choose deep cleansing facials with gentle clay or charcoal elements
- Avoid overly rich, heavy creams during the facial
- Regular, lighter facials work better than infrequent heavy ones
For Dry and Dehydrated Skin
Dry skin needs facials that focus on hydration and nourishment rather than deep exfoliation. Cream-based facials with hydrating serums and gentle massage help restore moisture and improve skin texture over time.
- Opt for hydrating, cream-based facials over gel or clay options
- Ask for a facial that includes a nourishing massage step
- Follow up with a good moisturiser at home between salon visits
For Sensitive and Combination Skin
Sensitive skin does best with gentle, fragrance-light products and a facial that avoids harsh scrubs or strong actives. Combination skin, which is oily in some areas and dry in others, benefits from a balanced approach that addresses both concerns without overdoing either.
- Sensitive skin should stick to gentle, low-irritant facial products
- Always mention known allergies before starting any facial
- Combination skin benefits from a balanced facial rather than one-size treatments
