Question: 1 / 400

What is a common contraindication for facials?

Dry skin

Active acne or skin infections

Active acne or skin infections represent a common contraindication for facials because such conditions can be exacerbated by the treatments typically used in facials. The manipulation of the skin during a facial can further irritate or inflame already compromised areas. Additionally, there is a risk of spreading infection or causing additional breakouts. It is essential for practitioners to assess the client's skin condition carefully and avoid treatments that could aggravate active acne or infection, prioritizing the skin's health and safety.

In contrast, while dry skin or excessive sun exposure might require specific treatments or adjustments in facial care, they do not present the same level of immediate risk as active infections. Aging skin, too, while requiring careful handling, is not inherently a contraindication for facial treatments and can often benefit from appropriate facial therapies.
