When it comes to facials, one of the most common questions I hear is “Is it normal to breakout after a facial?” While breakouts should not occur after a facial, there are many positive things that should. So what happens after a facial? Why is getting a facial good for your skin? Read below as I share the main benefits of a facial that one can expect after seeing an esthetician.
Glowing Skin
This expression is often used by estheticians and in the beauty world, but what does that mean? If experiencing a brightening facial or brightening peel mask that incorporate brightening ingredients Glycolic Acid, Licorice Root extract, Willow Bark extract, and Pelvetia Canaliculata (seaweed) extract, skin will appear more luminescent and even toned post facial. Remember though, results will be better and more visible with regular treatments.
Rosy Skin
With a facial comes a facial massage. One of the benefits of facial massage is that it helps blood circulate. Proper blood flow carries oxygen and other nutrients to the skin’s surface and may aid in releasing toxins in the body. When blood is circulating, this can cause skin to appear rosy, which is completely normal.
Hydrated Skin
Part of facials includes being treated with a serum, moisturizer and mask that utilize hydrating ingredients, such as seaweed. For dry skin types, this is essential. It is also essential for skin that is dehydrated, which even oily or problem skin can suffer from. (Read the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin). Hydration is the key for maintaining a youthful appearance.
Smoother Skin
With seaweed-based facial treatments,skin will feel more hydrated, which is key to helping it feel and appear smoother. Rough skin can also be a result of dead skin cell build up. If an exfoliating facial scrub or chemical peel is part of the facial treatment, skin will feel smoother post-facial.
Skin that Gets Better over Time
But here’s the catch: This comes with consistent appointments and treatments. Like going to the gym, with one facial will not cause an immediate change in the skin. With commitment, however, results will show!

My cousin has been thinking about getting a facial treatment to get rid of the acne. She would really like to get some help from a professional in order to be more effective. I liked what you said about how they can release toxins in the body by increasing blood circulation.
That’s cool that facials help your skin to detox and provide antioxidants to help skin glow and be more healthy and elastic. My sister has been complaining about her skin lately. We should probably go find a spa that offers skincare services so we can pamper our skin a little and put in some solid self-care time.
I like that you explain how consistently making appointments for facials can help you improve your skin over time. In order to do this, it would probably be a good idea to research local professionals and spas to find one that is able to provide the kind of facial you want. This could ensure you’re able to get to them easily so you can make an appointment whenever you’re free to help you keep your skin healthy and beautiful.
I was very surprised to learn that you can use seaweed to hydrate your skin and get rid of any unwanted oils. My daughter has been breaking out with a lot of bad acne recently, and she has been concerned that her face is too oily to stop it. I will be sure to tell my daughter that simply hydrating her face with a seaweed mask could help get rid of the oil!
