Omg, I'm glad I clicked on this thread, you guys are cracking me up.

As for spa facials, I have acne-prone combo skin, and I gave it a shot once. It made my skin look super shiny and bright for a day, then super-dry for like a week, and then I broke out for like 2 months. I won't be doing that again!

Where's the fat? I thought it was fattening.
And it never washes out of your hair. Don't do it.

(Sorry Josephine!)

I've gotten facials every 5-6 weeks for several years. I love them. I have one scheduled tomorrow. For me, it's more of a relaxing indulgence than a skincare essential. However, I do find the extractions help, when I need that. I'm in my mid-40's now. I don't think facials have lasting impact unless you go at more frequent intervals (maybe every 3-4 weeks. I think it's the daily/weekly routines that help keep my skin looking and feeling good. I don't buy products when I'm there.

With money being tighter, I'm trying to stretch the intervals more.

There's also the fact it's really salty, you wouldn't want that in your eyes! Imagine going out with pink eye. Urgh!

Back to the OT, I've considered getting facials done regularly because my skin looked so much better afterwards when I've had them done before. I did get a breakout afterwards but I thought that was just the gunk coming to the surface and would become less and less over time. Is that not the case?
