Because you and your skin deserve the truth
Think facials are just fancy spa days? Think again. Here are the top myths about facials — debunked by La Peau Skin Lab in North Vancouver. Learn what really keeps your skin glowing year-round.
Why We’re Talking About This
At La Peau Skin Lab, we hear it all the time, “Facials are just for pampering,” or “They’ll make me break out.” The truth? Most of those beliefs are old skincare myths that keep people from having their healthiest, glowiest skin.
So, let’s clear things up (literally).
1. “Facials are just for luxury.”
Reality: Facials aren’t an indulgence, they’re skin health maintenance.
Professional treatments go deeper than home routines to detoxify pores, boost circulation, and help your products absorb better.
Think of facials as your skin’s version of a wellness checkup, essential, not extra.
2. “You only need one when something’s wrong.”
Reality: Waiting for a breakout is like waiting for a flat tire before checking your car.
Regular facials keep your skin balanced and resilient. Prevention is the new perfection.
Keeping your skin glowing is easier when you stay on top of it.
3. “Facials make you break out.”
Reality: Sometimes, after a deep cleanse, your skin “purges” impurities, not breaks out.
It’s temporary, and what follows is smoother, clearer skin that can finally breathe.
Smoother clearer skin, once achieved, needs to be maintained. Monthly facials are a great way to do that.
4. “Facials are just for women.”
Reality: Skin has no gender.
Men benefit from facials too, especially for unclogging pores, managing oil, and soothing post-shave irritation.
Healthy skin is for everyone.
5. “All facials are the same.”
Reality: Nope!
Every treatment at La Peau Skin Lab is customized to your skin’s goals: hydration, brightening, acne management, anti-aging, and more.
Your skin is unique, and your facial should be too.
6. “At-home products do the same thing.”
Reality: Home care helps — but it can’t replace pro-grade tools, ingredients, and expertise.
Facials target deeper layers of skin and reset your barrier in ways serums simply can’t.
We use medical grade products that you might not have access to you at your home.
7. “Facials take too long.”
Reality: Express facials exist!
La Peau offers treatments that fit into your lunch break, results, no rush.
8. “Facials thin or damage skin.”
Reality: Quite the opposite.
Professional facials boost collagen, elasticity, and cell renewal — keeping your skin stronger, not weaker.
9. “They’re too expensive to do regularly.”
Reality: Healthy, consistent skincare costs less than corrective treatments later.
Plus, our Glow Together Referral Program rewards you for sharing your glow, because good skin should spread.
10. “One facial fixes everything.”
Reality: You’ll see an instant glow, but lasting change takes routine care.
Your skin regenerates every 28–40 days, so monthly or seasonal facials are the secret to that timeless, dewy look.
