I frequently go for a facial twice a month (Dr.Renaud) if any of you are familiar with. Anyways, recently I've been getting rashes on my cheeks, which I think that my chocolates obsession phase may have caused it. Anyways, it's been a week now and it’s still in the same state. I'm just wondering if it is advisable to go for a facial whilst having rashes. Should I avoid it until it fades away or should I continue my usual facial-routine? Will they be any side affects if I continue? :os


Please share any useful info.

I heard that its not good to do facial if you have zits it will make it worse
I sugest you wait till the problem is gone :)

MissKindy, it's not really zits more of spots and rashes :os You know the stuff you get when your diet is unhealthy.

^ Oh cause i had a problem with zits and they told me not to do facial lol

Yous sounds different though hmm i guess its okay then

Yeah, the zits or lets call 'em pimples is another case. Since while facial your face is being rubbed, then it's not advised to do it 'coz it will leave perminant marks. However, I'm not sure about the rashes, it just looks ew! And I don't want it to last for long! :boo:

twice a month is too much!! ur still young u don't need it that often, I had only 2 facials in my life once at my bro's wedding and once for my birthday and that was it lol!

I guess so, but I don't always use the steam thing. I just do the steam thing once in months, but the facial itself with all the creams and masks is a must :p It feels good and makes your skin feel fresh :p

I agree twice a month sounds alot..sometimes it causes more damage then help

You should try twice in 5 months lol

I got this cream i used on me ill give it to u, well after shushu coz she wants it too..works wonders...i promise.... ;)

Exy, brand name please? :boo:

Yeah i want it too :p

called: Rose Cream (latest Preperation to Vanish Freckles, Spots & Pimples)

made in Lebanon...

only use it on the spots....b4 u go to bed is the best time....otherwise u can use it on the whole face if u wanna light up ur skin....and note that when i used it 4 me...it didnt take a long time to vanish :)

Wow thanks..where can i get it please?

well my cousin gave it 2 me...i think she got it frm al fair....

OKay ..thanks :D

i found the best facials are carried out by beauticians trained in guinot and dermalogica. best for extracting zits and calming down the face, and peeling off dead skin.
the guinot 'beaute neuve' (sorry it might be spelt wrongly...meaning 'new beauty') worked wonders for me.
i agree with twice a month being too often....vitamin A creams should help with the zits too....in between facials.

You should consult a skin specialist

Going for a facial too often will only damage ur skin more as the steam used during the facial tend to open the pores which then absorbs dirt and result into zits.. my suggestion would be using a face mask once a week and exfoliate twice to three times a week instead of having those facials ...

Twice a month! Wohoo, that's alot! I buy a facial mask (clean and clear), do that every week, and go for a facial every 3 months!!

Besides, I don't think you should go to "anyone" for a facial treatment. I think you should go to professional ones because they test your skin and accordingly use the appropriate chemicals. If this Dr. Renaud is good, he/she should be able to tell you what exactly you need for your skin.
