When your skin has a specific concern, the best facial for skin concerns is rarely a one-size option. It is a targeted choice that matches your skin\u2019s needs and tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, you will get facial types explained in a simple way, so you can stop guessing and start booking targeted skincare treatments that actually support your goal. We will cover five facial options that commonly suit acne, aging, sensitivity, dehydration, and hyperpigmentation, plus what to ask for so your session stays focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One facial can help, especially if you book the right match. However, the most noticeable change usually comes from consistency and a basic home routine between appointments. That is how you avoid wasted spending and get results that last beyond the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #100249;color:#100249\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #100249;color:#100249\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/facial-types-for-skin-concerns\/#The_60-second_Match_Before_you_Book\" >The 60-second Match Before you Book<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/facial-types-for-skin-concerns\/#Facial_Type_1_For_Acne_and_Congestion\" >Facial Type 1: For Acne and Congestion<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/facial-types-for-skin-concerns\/#1_What_This_Facial_Usually_Includes\" >1.

This quick match stops you from paying for a generic facial that feels nice on the day but does not move the needle on your actual skin concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Step 1: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Name your main concern and pick one. Acne, aging, sensitivity, dehydration, or hyperpigmentation. When you try to solve everything at once, the treatment usually turns into a \u201cbit of everything\u201d facial, and nothing gets real focus.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Step 2: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the facial type built for that concern. The best facial for skin concerns is the one designed around your main problem, not the one with the trendiest name. Use the guide below to match your skin to the right option.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Step 3:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Share three booking notes your therapist can act on. First, what do you want to improve, such as fewer jawline breakouts, less redness, or a more even tone? Next, what usually triggers it, like stress, products, weather changes, hormones, masks, or sun exposure? Finally, what your skin cannot tolerate, such as stinging, strong fragrance, heavy steam, or aggressive extractions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Targeted skincare treatments work because they are deliberate. They combine the right ingredients, the right technique, and a simple aftercare plan, not just a quick glow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facial_Type_1_For_Acne_and_Congestion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facial Type 1: For Acne and Congestion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are dealing with clogged pores and repeat breakouts, this is the clear-the-traffic-jam facial. It should feel controlled, not aggressive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_This_Facial_Usually_Includes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. What This Facial Usually Includes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gentle but thorough cleanse lifts oil and sunscreen without stripping. A softening step preps the skin, then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/comedonal-acne\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">controlled extractions target only what is safe and visible<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, since squeezing at home can irritate skin and lead to marks. It should finish with an oil-balancing mask and a calming, non-greasy moisturizer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optional upgrades include LED, often blue and red light, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dermnetnz.org\/topics\/lasers-lights-and-acne\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to support mild to moderate acne and help calm inflammation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If your skin tolerates it, light chemical exfoliation may also help, but it should not be stacked on top of strong acids you already use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_to_Ask_For_so_It_Stays_Targeted\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. What to Ask For so It Stays Targeted<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask for focus on your congestion zones, usually the T-zone and jawline, rather than a full-face extractions approach if you flare easily. Then ask for a simple 72-hour plan that covers what to avoid, what to use, and what is normal. This is what turns a \u201cnice facial\u201d into targeted skincare treatments that actually fit your concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_to_Avoid_if_You_Are_Actively_Inflamed\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. What to Avoid if You Are Actively Inflamed<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skip harsh scrubs and heavy \u201cdeep cleanse\u201d pressure if you are red, sore, or swollen. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/acne\/skin-care\/habits-stop\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-scrubbing can irritate skin and make acne harder to manage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Also avoid excessive extractions and high-heat steam if heat tends to spike your redness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_7-Day_Upkeep_That_Protects_Your_Results\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. 7-Day Upkeep That Protects Your Results<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep it boring on purpose. Gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF daily. For 48\u201372 hours, avoid introducing new actives, strong exfoliants, or fragranced products. Do not pick. If you use acne actives, restart slowly rather than stacking everything at once.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Mini_Good_Fit_and_Not_a_Fit_Checklist\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Mini Good Fit and Not a Fit Checklist<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good fit if you are mostly clogged, oily, and breakout-prone. Not a fit if your skin is very reactive right now and cannot tolerate touch, heat, or extractions. Book a targeted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/services\/facial\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at-home facial with Blys<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and add your skin concern in the notes so your therapist can tailor the treatment<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facial_Type_2_For_Ageing_Texture_and_Dullness\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facial Type 2: For Ageing, Texture, and Dullness<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This facial type suits skin that looks tired even when your routine is \u201cfine\u201d. It is less about a one-day glow and more about steady improvement in texture, bounce, and overall brightness. If you want the best facial for skin concerns like fine lines and roughness, keep it targeted and track one outcome for a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>What To Know<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>What It Means For Your Booking<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best For<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fine lines, rough texture, loss of bounce, and tired-looking, dull skin.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually Includes<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydration plus antioxidants, facial massage, and optional LED or gentle exfoliation based on tolerance.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep It Results-Focused<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick one thing to track for 7 days.

It is often the best facial for skin concerns like redness and sensitivity because it protects your barrier first. In other words, it is a targeted skincare treatment built around comfort, not intensity. Here is the simple way to book it well.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Best for: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redness-prone skin, stinging, barrier damage, and over-exfoliated skin. It can also suit eczema-prone or easily irritated skin as non-medical support only, while diagnosis and treatment should come from a GP or dermatologist.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What this facial usually includes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Minimal steps with low-fragrance products, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dermnetnz.org\/topics\/fragrance-allergy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">since fragrance is a common trigger for irritation and allergy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Expect gentle cleansing, a calming mask, and a barrier-first finish, with no \u201cextras\u201d added just to make it feel stronger.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The one question to ask before they start: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can we keep this comfort-first and avoid anything that stings? If you feel burning or sharp tingling, say so straight away. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dermnetnz.org\/topics\/irritant-contact-dermatitis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stinging can signal irritation or a compromised barrier<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and pushing through often backfires.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Triggers to flag in your booking notes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retinoids, exfoliating acids, recent peels, fragrance sensitivity, heat-trigger flushing, manual scrubs, and any history of reacting to new products. The more specific you are, the more facial types explained turn into a booking advantage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Aftercare rules that stop the rebound: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pause strong actives for 48\u201372 hours, then keep to basics only. Gentle cleanse, moisturiser, and SPF daily. Avoid extra heat and friction for a day or two, such as hot showers, hard workouts, and vigorous towel drying, because reactive skin often flares with heat plus rubbing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your skin is reactive, the best facial is usually the one you can repeat without a flare. Book comfort first, then build from there slowly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facial_Type_4_For_Dehydration_and_a_Tight_Flaky_Feel\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facial Type 4: For Dehydration and a Tight, Flaky Feel<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book this when your skin feels tight, looks flaky under makeup, or has that &#8216;my skin drinks everything&#8217; feeling even after moisturiser. The aim is to rehydrate and calm the skin so it holds onto water better, which makes this a strong pick when you want the best facial for skin concerns linked to dehydration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This facial should focus on layered hydration and soothing steps, with gentle exfoliation only if flakes are obvious and product sits poorly. It should finish with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dermnetnz.org\/topics\/dry-skin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comfortable moisturiser and sometimes an occlusive seal to reduce water loss, especially if your skin leans dry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the next two to three days, keep your routine basic so the results last. Use a gentle cleanse, apply moisturiser while skin is slightly damp, then wear SPF each morning. Avoid over-cleansing, hot showers, and strong exfoliants right after. It also helps to book this before travel, events, or a big work week with lots of air-conditioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want brighter-looking skin without guessing?

Hyperpigmentation work is slow but predictable when you keep it gentle, stay consistent, and protect your skin from UV. Here is how to make it a targeted skincare treatment, not another generic glow session.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sun spots, post-breakout marks, uneven tone, and dull patches. It also suits post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where marks stay after the breakout is gone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What this facial usually includes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Brightening steps with gentle exfoliation, plus pigment-safe actives and calming support for the barrier. You should also get clear SPF planning, since UV can deepen pigment and slow progress (see American Academy of Dermatology).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The non-negotiable if you want results: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily SPF and no picking. Sun and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dermnetnz.org\/topics\/postinflammatory-hyperpigmentation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inflammation both push pigment higher<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so skipping sunscreen or picking can bring marks back fast.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What to ask for to avoid irritation-triggered pigment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ask for a gradual plan and say if you mark easily. Request conservative actives and avoid overly aggressive exfoliation, especially if you stay red for days after peels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How long to expect:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Weeks, not days. A short series usually works better than a one-off because pigment shifts slowly. Track progress with a photo every two weeks in the same lighting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be the best facial for skin concerns like uneven tone when you treat it like a plan. Keep it gentle, protect it with SPF, and repeat what your skin tolerates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Write_in_Your_Blys_Booking_Notes_so_You_Get_the_Right_Facial\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Write in Your Blys Booking Notes so You Get the Right Facial<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want a facial that actually targets your skin concern, your booking notes do most of the heavy lifting. They help your therapist choose the right approach, avoid your triggers, and keep the session focused. Use this quick table, copy the prompts, then fill in the blanks.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Copy and Paste Prompt<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>What to Write<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Main concern<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want help with acne and congestion OR ageing and texture OR sensitivity and reactivity OR dehydration and tightness OR hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. My main concern is _____.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What triggers it<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It usually flares with stress, hormones, weather changes, masks, sun, travel, or new products. My biggest trigger is _____.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What my skin hates<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please avoid strong fragrance, heavy steam, harsh scrubs, aggressive extractions, strong exfoliation, or anything that stings. My pressure preference is _____.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Products or activities I use<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I use retinol, exfoliating acids, benzoyl peroxide, vitamin C, or prescription treatments. I last used them _____.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys facials are delivered at home, so targeted skincare treatments can fit into real schedules. You can book 7 days a week with broad appointment windows, then keep your timing consistent once you find the best facial for skin concerns like yours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrapping Up<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generic facials can feel nice, but they are not always the best facial for skin concerns when you have a specific issue to fix. The smarter move is to stop guessing, match the facial type to your top concern, and then repeat what works. That is how explained facial types become a booking tool, not just more skincare advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acne and congestion need controlled clearing and a short aftercare plan. Ageing and texture respond best to consistent support, not one intense session. Reactive skin needs comfort-first steps. Dehydration needs layered hydration and a simple seal-it-in routine. Hyperpigmentation needs gentle brightening plus daily SPF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your next step is simple. Pick your main concern, book the matching facial type, and track one result for seven days. Once you see what your skin tolerates and responds to, keep the timing consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose your skin concern, share it in the notes, and <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/services\/facial\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book a spa-quality facial at home with Blys<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when it suits you.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#faf1eb&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Wellness_Journey_Starts_Here\"><\/span>Your Wellness Journey Starts Here<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;jumbo&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Book Now&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/app.getblys.com\/new-booking\/?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=facial-types-for-skin-concerns&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text] Generic facials can feel relaxing, but they often miss&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1913,"featured_media":90292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443,205,441],"tags":[],"reviewer":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-90291","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-blys-for-clients","8":"category-guides","9":"category-hair-and-beauty"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>5 Facial Types: For Different Skin Concerns | Blys<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Stop booking generic facials.
