Why Your Skin Breaks Out After a Facial (And Why It Is Normal)

Noticing a few extra pimples after a facial can be surprising, but for many people it is completely part of the process.

Q: Can facials cause more breakouts?

A: Occasionally, a facial can trigger purging as your skin releases impurities, especially after extractions or exfoliation. This is usually temporary and resolves within a few days. Your esthetician can adjust future treatments if breakouts persist longer.
