Most basic facials take about how long?

• A. 30 minutes
• B. 45 minutes
• C. 90 minutes
• D. 60 minutes

Answer: (D)

Basic facials are designed to run through a standard sequence of steps—cleansing, exfoliation, sometimes steam or extractions if needed, a mask, and finishing with toner and moisturizer—often with a brief facial massage. Each step takes time to do properly and to tailor to the skin. Because of that, a standard facial is typically about sixty minutes. Shorter sessions, around thirty minutes, are usually express versions that skip some steps, while longer sessions (around ninety minutes) reflect more intensive or specialty treatments. So sixty minutes is the practical, common duration for a basic facial.
