I used to do facials from 18 to 23 every month. Then I got married ;) I had one before my engagement ceremony and then the next one was 13 years later at a posh salon in dubai (gift). It was a 90 min facial and she was done in a about half an hour and asked if I wanted to use the rest of the time for a massage!!! She was so impressed with my skin and asked how often I do a facial and what my regimen is!!! She was expecting to hear facials every 2 weeks I bet and some strict routine at home. She couldn't beleive it when I said nothing!
So. No I don't beleive in facials. I will be 35 next month ;)
I am in my 30's and got my first facial last year. I always thought I had oily skin with minor adult acne. After my facial and using the recommended products for about a month, my skin did a turn around. Apparently my skin was very sensitive and all the "acne" products were just making it worse.
I know there are so many facials available out here, I just stick with a dermalogica prescriptive facial, so it is tailored to my needs. I have been going to Essa in JLT about every 5-6 weeks and they are great and reasonable (I am comparing this to US prices). I also look forward to the hour+ of relaxation :)
