How to Choose the Right Facial for Your Skin Type

Not all facials are created equal — and choosing the right one for your skin type can make all the difference in how your skin looks and feels after treatment. At Platinum Cosmetics, we offer a range of customised facial treatments designed to suit different skin types, concerns, and goals.

Here’s how we help you find the right facial for your skin, and why a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work.

Why Personalisation Matters

Your skin is unique — and its needs change over time. What works for dry skin may be too rich for oily skin, and what calms sensitive skin might not be active enough for someone with texture or congestion. That’s why we always begin with a skin assessment before recommending any facial treatment.

Our clinicians take the time to understand your skin type, history, lifestyle, and concerns before suggesting the right treatment path.

Facial Treatments We Offer in Our Port Melbourne Clinic

At our clinic, we offer professional facials using medical-grade products and advanced techniques. Some of our most popular options include:

• Hydrating Facial: Ideal for dry or dehydrated skin. Replenishes moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and restores radiance.

• Clarifying Facial: Designed for combination or breakout-prone skin. Helps unclog pores and calm inflammation without stripping the skin.

• Brightening Facial: Targets uneven skin tone or dullness. Includes gentle exfoliation and active ingredients to support skin clarity.

• Calming Facial: Perfect for sensitive or reactive skin types. Focuses on reducing redness and soothing irritation.

• Anti-Ageing Support Facial: For mature skin showing signs of fine lines or laxity. Boosts hydration, supports elasticity, and promotes a smoother texture.

Each facial can be tailored based on your skin’s condition on the day — we adapt our technique and product selection to ensure the best possible outcome.

How Often Should You Have a Facial?

This depends on your skin goals. Some clients come in every 4–6 weeks to maintain skin health, while others book a facial ahead of a special event or seasonal change. During your consultation, we’ll help you build a plan that suits your skin and your schedule.

Home Care Matters Too

A professional facial gives your skin a boost, but maintaining results requires consistency at home. As part of your visit, we’ll talk through a simple and effective home care routine that complements your treatment and supports long-term skin health.
