Everything you need to know about Facial Extractions
Can I Perform My Own Facial Extractions?
One of the golden rules of skincare is not to pop pimples or attempt extractions at home. While it might seem like a quick fix, improper techniques can harm your skin and lead to lasting damage.
Why Should Facial Extractions Be Left to Professionals?
Facial extractions are best performed by licensed Glow Up Studio Skin Therapists who have undergone extensive training. Attempting at-home extractions increases the risk of:
Inflammation and skin irritation: Applying too much pressure can aggravate the area and lead to redness and swelling.
Dark spots and scarring: Improper techniques can cause hyperpigmentation or permanent marks.
Bacteria spread: DIY extractions may introduce bacteria to surrounding sensitive skin, worsening acne or causing new breakouts.
What Can I Do at Home?
Maintaining a consistent skincare routine is essential for preventing blackheads and breakouts between professional facials. Blackheads thrive when debris and excess oil accumulate, so keeping your skin clean and balanced is the key to long-term success.
Your At-Home Skincare Routine
To minimize pore buildup and maintain healthy, glowing skin between your professional treatments, follow this routine:
Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser, like COSMEDIX Purity Clean or COSMEDIX Clarify, to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
Exfoliate: Incorporate exfoliation 1-3 times per week with COSMEDIX Pure Enzymes to clear dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores.
Tone: Use a toner tailored to your skin type, such as COSMEDIX Purity Balance, to refine pores and balance oil levels.
Mask: Apply a detoxifying mask, like COSMEDIX Detox, weekly to draw out impurities.
Hydrate: Finish with a serum and moisturizer to nourish and protect your skin.
