There’s a case for seasonal facials.
“The biggest misconception about facials is that they’re a luxury splurge,” says Jode Castillo, a licensed esthetician at The Spa at Greenwich Avenue in New York City. “They’re not. Skincare is health care.”
Just as you get your teeth professionally cleaned and visit a dermatologist for check-ups, you should also regularly schedule time with an esthetician (for example, at The Spa or EQX Body Lab) to help your skin adapt to the seasons, rebalance post-breakout, and minimize wrinkles and other signs of aging.
