I have gotten regular facials in the past when I'd break out but now I'm in love with Microdermabrasion treatments instead. They are so refreshing and make your skin glow. At first it may cause some peeling but after 1.5-2 weeks skin begins looking fresh and alive again. It also depends who does it. Some facialists are less harsh then others. I prefer harsher because more layers of skin peel off. I only get it done 3-4/yr bc I don't think its good to do it too often. IMO, facials are really good if kept up regularly but micrderm. is better for dramatic results.
