Celebrity esthetician Renee Rouleau concurs with Bolder. She explained to PureWow, "The whole idea of getting monthly facials was established way back in the day when exfoliating at home wasn't really an option. Today, there are many at-home solutions like sonic cleansing brushes, facial scrubs, products with exfoliating acids or enzymes, and, of course, retinol, which isn't technically an exfoliant, but does increase cell turnover." In other words, skincare is way more advanced than it used to be, and if you're investing in skin care products listed by Rouleau, it's unlikely you need a facial every month. Instead, Rouleau believes recommends a facial every two months.

Ultimately, it's best to speak to your facialist to determine the frequency of facials that's right for you. Talk through your exact skincare routine and feel free to even take in your product if you're unsure what ingredients you're actually putting on your face.
