Affordable facials in Downtown Thousand Oaks: Custom Facials (Time-Based)

By Simply Facials | July 18, 2026

We’ve had people tell us they added a peel to a hydrodermabrasion facial and “glowed for weeks”, and that’s exactly why we love time-based facials. Custom Facials (Time-Based) are booked by duration, commonly 30, 60, or 90 minutes, so we can prioritize what your skin needs most that day. In a shorter session we’ll focus on one or two goals. In a longer session we can layer in advanced enhancements, extra massage, and clear aftercare so your results last.

If you’re looking around Downtown Thousand Oaks, especially along the Thousand Oaks Blvd retail corridor near The Oaks Mall, this guide will help you pick the right length, understand what’s actually included, and book in a way that fits real life in our sunny Mediterranean climate.

People usually land on “affordable facials” because they want real skin improvement without guessing which menu item to pick. Our time-based approach keeps it simple. You choose the time, tell us what’s going on with your skin, and we’ll spend the appointment on what moves the needle.

Why time-based custom facials work for busy Thousand Oaks schedules

A lot of our regulars are balancing work, school drop-offs, and the “I’ll take care of myself later” cycle. Time-based facials make it easier to keep the habit. A 60-minute evening appointment tends to be the sweet spot after work. A 90-minute session makes sense on weekends when you can actually exhale and let us do more than just the basics.

And because we’re in Downtown Thousand Oaks with easy access off the Thousand Oaks Blvd retail corridor, people often pair a facial with a stop at The Oaks Mall or a walk at Wildwood Regional Park, just keep sun exposure in mind after exfoliation or peels.

Quick tip: If you’re driving in from Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Oak Park, Agoura Hills, or Simi Valley, book the length you can repeat. Consistency beats the occasional “once a year” facial every time.

8 Custom Facial options, explained like we’d explain them in the room

These are all built around the same core steps, double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions (when your skin agrees), targeted serums, massage, mask, moisturizer, and SPF. The difference is how much time we have and whether we’re adding a peel. If you tell us your goal, glow, hydration, breakouts, texture, melasma support, or just a hard reset, we’ll guide you into the right option.

The 50 - Without A Peel

This is our no-frills, all-results 50-minute facial. We move with purpose: double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions, serums, face massage, customized mask, moisturizer, and SPF. It’s the reset you book when you don’t have time to overthink it.

Best for: first-timers, maintenance visits, and anyone who wants results without added intensity.

The 50 - With A Peel (Face Only)

Same efficient structure as The 50, but we add a peel on the face to push glow and smoothness further. We’ll keep the rest of the steps supportive so your skin feels calm when you leave.

Best for: dullness and rough texture when you haven’t been in heavy sun recently.

The 75 - Without A Peel

If you’re not sure what to book, start here. You’ll get the full facial flow plus a real massage moment: face, neck, décolleté, and upper arms. Then you pick one enhancement, like LED red light with scalp massage, high frequency (face + scalp), microcurrent, nano-infusion, mesotherapy, fire + ice, or full arm and hand massage.

Best for: “I want my skin better and I want to relax” days, plus first-time consult-style visits.

The 75 - With A Peel (Face Only)

This is the 75-minute structure with a peel on the face, then we follow with calming hydration and SPF. You still get one enhancement, so we can pair the peel with something supportive, like LED red light or a scalp-focused add-on.

Best for: glow plus a little extra correction time, especially if you’ve got an event coming up.

The 90 - Without A Peel

Now we’ve got time to really personalize. You’ll get the full facial plus massage, then you pick two enhancements: LED red light + scalp massage, high frequency (face + scalp), microcurrent, nano-infusion, mesotherapy, fire + ice, lightening treatment, zombie mask, or full arm and hand massage. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you choose based on your goals.

Best for: stubborn congestion, uneven tone support, or when you want both results and a deep unwind.

The 90 - With A Peel (Face Only)

This one pairs peel work on the face with two enhancements, which is a big deal if you’re trying to tackle texture and dullness while still keeping the appointment relaxing. We’ll focus on barrier support and sunscreen at the end, especially in summer.

Best for: people who want a peel but also want time for LED, microcurrent, or lightening support.

The 120 - Without A Peel

This is the full experience. You get everything in the core facial, plenty of massage time, and you pick three enhancements. We can go results-forward, relaxation-forward, or a mix. We’ll talk it through, then you get to check out and stop thinking for a while.

Best for: monthly self-care, big skin goals, and people who love add-ons like LED, nano-infusion, and scalp work.

The 120 - With A Peel (Face Only)

All the time in the world, plus a peel on the face. We’ll keep your support steps strong: hydration, soothing mask choices, and SPF. Then we’ll use your three enhancements strategically so you don’t leave feeling “overdone.”

Best for: experienced facial regulars and anyone planning ahead around sun exposure and downtime.

Small but important note: We always finish with SPF. In July, that step matters more than ever in Thousand Oaks.

The results people talk about after our custom facials

The most common pattern we hear is glow that sticks around. Not just “I look good in the parking lot” glow. People tell us their skin is still glowing and deeply hydrated a few days later, which usually comes down to doing the fundamentals well, cleansing thoroughly, exfoliating the right amount, and sealing it in with the right finish.

We also hear a lot of “fully rejuvenated” and “refreshed” after a session, especially when we pair a facial with enhancements like red light therapy, microcurrent, or high frequency. And if you’re the kind of person who hates forced small talk during a facial, you’re not alone. We keep the vibe calm and let you relax, with room to ask questions whenever you want.

“A few days after my facial, my skin was still glowing and deeply hydrated. The entire experience was incredibly relaxing and refreshing!”

one of our regulars

For glow and hydration: a 75-minute facial is a solid starting point, and in summer we often lean into hydrating boosters and antioxidants to help your skin handle heat and sun.

For uneven tone support: people come in for lightening treatment add-ons, including melasma support, and we keep the plan gentle and consistent.

Here’s how your facial actually flows, minute by minute

When you come in, we start with a quick check-in so we’re not guessing. We’ll look at how your skin is behaving today, then ask a few simple questions, what products you’re using, what you’re trying to change, and how sensitive you tend to be.

Once you’re on the bed, we double cleanse and get into exfoliation. If extractions make sense, we do them carefully. Then we switch into the part most people don’t want to end: targeted serums, massage, and mask. If your service includes enhancements, we plug those in where they make the most sense, not randomly at the end.

You’ll leave with moisturizer and SPF on your skin, plus straightforward aftercare so you don’t accidentally undo the work in the sun later that day.

July in a Mediterranean climate: how we plan facials around sun

Summer in Thousand Oaks is no joke. Heat and UV can leave skin dehydrated, reactive, and a little rough even if you’re “not really in the sun.” In July, we often steer people toward hydration support, antioxidants, and calming masks, especially if you’ve been outdoors a lot.

If you’re thinking peel, timing matters. Let us know about recent heavy sun exposure and any upcoming outdoor plans, hikes, park days, or long afternoons outside. We’ll help you pick the right option so you still get glow without pushing your skin too hard.

Our rule: If you’re going to be outside, sunscreen is non-negotiable after your facial.

The Simply Facials difference: the details people notice, plus a clear next step

We’re two years in, and the thing that keeps coming up is how calm people feel here. We’ve had first-timers tell us they almost fell asleep. We’ve had sensitive-skin clients tell us they didn’t break out or react afterward. We also get a lot of “I’ve tried other places, they don’t compare, ” and that’s never about fancy wording. It’s about doing the basics well and paying attention to what you actually need.

One detail people remember is our welcome sign on the iPad. It’s simple, but it sets the tone. You’re not a number on a schedule. You’re here to take care of your skin and get a real break.

“I never thought I’d be a guy who would do something like this but I’ve been three times now and every time it’s great she has hand of an angel the most peaceful place I’ve been in many years”

one of our regulars

If you want an easy starting point: book a 75-minute facial, and we’ll choose your one enhancement together based on your skin and how much sun you’ve been getting.

If you already know you love peel results, go with a “With A Peel” option and tell us what your week looks like so we can plan around sun, workouts, and outdoor time.

Frequently Asked Questions

In a 60-minute custom facial, we focus on the core steps that give you the biggest payoff: double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions when appropriate, targeted serums, a relaxing face massage, a customized mask, then moisturizer and SPF. If you’ve got a specific concern, like congestion or dehydration, we’ll spend more of the hour there instead of trying to squeeze in everything.

Pick 30 minutes when you need a quick reset and you want us to focus on one or two priorities. Pick 60 minutes for a solid, balanced facial that still fits into a busy week. Pick 90 minutes when you want deeper work, more massage time, and room for enhancements like LED red light, microcurrent, high frequency, nano-infusion, or lightening support.

Often, yes, as long as we plan it thoughtfully. Let us know what sets your skin off and what you’re using at home. We’ll keep exfoliation gentle, be careful with extractions, and choose calming, skin-friendly steps so you leave comfortable instead of inflamed.

Most acne-prone skin does best with consistent appointments, usually every 4 weeks, so we can keep congestion under control and adjust as your skin changes. If you’re actively breaking out, we may suggest coming in a little sooner at the start, then spacing out once things calm down.

Wear sunscreen, always. We finish with SPF, and we’ll talk through your outdoor plans so you don’t accidentally overdo sun exposure after exfoliation or a peel. If you’re spending a lot of time outside, tell us ahead of time so we can choose the right level of exfoliation for that week.

An express facial is a shorter appointment meant to refresh your skin quickly. We keep it focused on the essentials, like cleansing, light exfoliation, targeted serum work, and finishing hydration with SPF, so you get a visible reset without the longer massage and add-ons.

A 50 TCA peel is a strong chemical peel that’s used for deeper resurfacing goals. It’s not something we casually add onto a standard facial. If you’re curious about deeper peel options, talk with us first so we can look at your skin, your sensitivity level, and your sun exposure, then decide what level of peel actually makes sense for you.
