FAQs on Facial Kits

1. How many times can we use the facial kit?

The frequency at which we can use facial kits depends on various factors such as conditions of our skin, our skin health goals, time available, etc. Setting all these factors aside, it is generally recommended to use facial kits once every one to two weeks. Or at least twice a month. If the skin requires more intense care, then once a week also works well. The lifecycle of the cells on the skin is around three to four weeks. So regular facials keep skin clear within these cycles and prevents dead skin cells from building up.

2. How do I choose a facial kit?

It is vital to choose suitable facial kits that suit your skin and address all the necessary conditions. Not everyone has the same type of skin, so it is essential to analyse your skin first.

• Normal or Dry skin - if you have intensely dry, tight and flaky skin, it is important to add hydration back into your skin. Choose products with ingredients that have hydration properties and provide moisturization. Try to avoid exfoliating too much, as it can increase the dryness of the skin. If you have normal skin, opt for products with deep cleansing and moisturising properties.
• Oily skin - choose a product that balances oil production. It is necessary to remember not to use harsh products that strop off all the oil, which can lead to excess production of oil and other skin conditions. Opt for a facial that uses natural ingredients, focuses on deep cleaning and extraction, a face mask and protective cream. The mask should make the skin soft, remove excess oil, and shrink the pores.
• Combination skin - A combination skin has both oily and normal to dry skin in various zones of the face; try to use mild products. Such products do not trigger the oily skin into breaking out. They also do not let the dry skin get drier with facial kit products used for oily skin.
• Sensitive skin - always choose products with soothing ingredients. Do not use harsh elements or exfoliating agents that can cause excess irritation. Gentle and mild products help improve skin condition and, at the same time, not irritate it.
