I was wondering how many people out there get regular facials?? and how often?
I'm getting one on friday. My boyfriend had bought me a gift certificate for the absolute spa at the fairmont hotel. (I trained him well) 
This is only my 2nd facial. I wish I could go regularly but am a poor student...at least I treat myself to good products thanks to EDS...
I hope this poll works...I'm interested to see the results. |

| I assume other is - never...that's what I answered. I'm a do it yourselfer. You can get more for your money that way. I'd LOVE to get pampered in a spa or salon, but for now, gotta be practical and stretch that $$$! |

.. I usually "do it myself", but I cannot resist a facial twice a year when visiting Australia... mostly cuz I found somewhere on the Gold Coast that is extremely well priced and who use great stuff. It is my pamper session.
In July, for CA/AU$60-ish I got:
1 hr facial (cleanse, steam, massage, mask - ooh heaven)
Eyebrow wax and tint
Eyelash tint
Can't beat that! That is where I discovered the Arnaud range of skincare as well. |

I usually have regular facials for my acne treatment and cleaning up white/blackheads... I used to have it done every 2 weeks when younger with problematic skin... Now I try to go once a month if I can fit it into my busy schedule  ...
I'm lucky to find a great facialist who does good thourough facial for acne skin... It's by far the most economically affordable one that I've found... only $35 US and for my skin with all the extractions, eyebrow wax (and sometimes an ultrasound cellular intense treatment), it normally runs for 2 1/2 hours... pretty good deal, uh?!  |

| Due to time constraints, I've never been one to have regular facials. However, I've really enjoyed the few that I've had. Lately, I've been doing my own facials twice a week and have seen such a big difference in my skin. |

| I get mine once a month. I'm so busy that this and my mani/pedicures are my only opportunities to relax and unwind. |

I voted 'other' because I don't usually go to have facials done, I'm more of a DIY girl like FairlyFair and Tiger_Tim. Tiger_Tim - care the share? That would be a good excuse for me to drive down to GC  |

I am in the "almost never" column. When I have had the luxury, I've never been disappointed.
I wondered if everyone might take this thread another step. I am ready to start with a regular facial routine (at least every other month). To date I have only been to a day spa for a facial, a friend suggested seeking out a dermatologist that has a facialist. I've never been to a dermatologist so I did not realize they do that.
Any comments on this topic? Pros and cons? |

I went to a derm for a while. Before I could put almost anything on my face...After seeing him and trying all the harsh stuff he put on my skin I'm super sensitive and react to the slightest thing.
A friend went to the same guy for a mole she thought might be cancerous and all he wanted to talk about was her clogged pores.
Maybe it's just who you go to... |

I have had facials every 6-8 weeks for over 9 years from the same woman. I tend to be loyal and I enjoy her as well as the treatment. She always makes fun of me for trying to find the "miracle" product  |

I absolutely loved the facial that I got...It was SO relaxing, nothing at all like the at home ones I do. I'll definitely be making this a treat for myself now and then.
I was surprised though, the lady told me to stop using purifying lotions and to use more moisturizing products for dry/sensitive skin. I can get dry at times, but I always have acne...I got an eye cream and a night cream...Has anyone use Paul Scerri before?? Seems quite nice so far...If I like the 2 products I got I'll slowly switch over..if not I'll just get different yonka/decleor stuff. |
