A professional facial cleansing is one of the most effective methods to clarify the skin, clear pores, and refresh the complexion. But one common question from clients is: how long does the clean, smooth, and glowing effect actually last? At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we explore the key factors that determine the longevity of your results.

1. What Happens During a Professional Facial?

During a classic facial cleansing, makeup residues, excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities are gently but thoroughly removed. Depending on the skin type and condition, additional steps may include exfoliation, steaming, manual extractions, ultrasonic cleansing, or soothing masks. After the treatment, skin appears fresher, cleaner, and more receptive to active skincare ingredients.

2. Immediate Effects After the Treatment

Right after a facial, the skin usually feels:

• significantly softer and smoother,

• more even in tone,

• less oily or flaky,

• better hydrated and oxygenated,

• visibly refreshed.

Mild redness may occur in sensitive skin types but typically fades within a few hours.

3. How Long Does the Cleansing Effect Last?

The visible benefits of a facial generally last between 1 and 3 weeks, depending on:

• skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive),

• home skincare routine,

• environmental factors (pollution, sun exposure),

• hormonal balance and diet.

For oily or acne-prone skin, clogged pores may return more quickly, and regular facials every 2–3 weeks may be ideal. For normal skin, results may last up to a month or more.

4. What Influences the Longevity of Results?

At-Home Skincare

Using gentle, moisturizing products and avoiding harsh cleansers or scrubs is key. Our MONLIS beauticians will recommend suitable products based on your skin type.

Diet and Hydration

A balanced diet and proper water intake support clear skin. Sugar, alcohol, and smoking, on the other hand, can worsen skin issues.

Stress and Sleep

Stress can increase oil production and cause breakouts. Poor sleep slows the skin’s regeneration process, reducing the longevity of your facial results.

5. How Often Should You Get a Facial?

At MONLIS Studio, we recommend:

• Normal skin: every 4–6 weeks,

• Oily/problem skin: every 2–3 weeks,

• Dry/sensitive skin: every 6–8 weeks.

Our skincare professionals assess your skin at each visit to tailor the ideal schedule to your needs.

6. Tips to Prolong the Effect

• Cleanse your skin morning and night.

• Use non-comedogenic skincare and cosmetics.

• Change pillowcases and face towels regularly.

• Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.

• Refrain from applying heavy makeup immediately after the treatment.

A facial cleansing at MONLIS Studio is a powerful reset for your skin – but not a one-time miracle. Consistent treatments tailored to your skin type, combined with proper daily care, will not only prolong the results but also improve your skin long-term.
