How long should the exfoliation or mask portion of a facial typically last?

Three to five minutes
Six to seven minutes
Eight to ten minutes
Fifteen to twenty minutes

The correct answer is: Eight to ten minutes

The exfoliation or mask portion of a facial typically lasts eight to ten minutes because this duration is generally effective for the skin to receive the benefits of the ingredients without risking irritation. Exfoliation is essential for removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, which enhances the skin's texture and appearance. During this time, the products used can work to unclog pores and improve skin radiance. Similarly, when a mask is applied, allowing it to sit on the skin for eight to ten minutes ensures adequate absorption of active ingredients while still being considerate of the skin's tolerance. Exceeding this time could lead to discomfort or adverse reactions, especially with more potent formulations. This timeframe strikes a balance between effectiveness and safety, ensuring clients receive a thorough treatment that yields visible results without unnecessary risks.
