What is a contraindication for receiving a facial?

The choice of active acne or skin infections as a contraindication for receiving a facial is correct because such conditions can be exacerbated by the treatment. Facials often involve the use of products and techniques that may irritate inflamed or infected skin, potentially leading to further breakouts or complications. Additionally, performing a facial on affected areas can spread bacteria or irritants, worsening the skin condition. Therefore, it is highly advised to avoid facials until the active acne or skin infections have resolved to ensure the health and safety of the client’s skin.

In contrast, conditions like dry skin, oily skin, or normal skin do not pose immediate risks in the same way and can typically benefit from tailored facial treatments designed to address specific skin concerns.
