Beauty

The answer your skin has been looking for.

The purpose of a traditional facial is to purge your pores and press the reset button on your skin.

That almost always entails extractions the old-school pore-expunging method that many have a love/hate relationship with.

Are extractions good or bad for your skin? A master esthetician weighs in.

I get the hate.

Or should theextraction facialbecome a bygone beauty practice?

What Are Extractions?

So they definitely have their place.

And thats why some of my clients opt out, which I completely understand.

They can also make your skin look worse before it looks better.

The Verdict

So, do I think extractions are bad?

They serve a specific purpose and truly help at resetting skin and bringing it back into balance.

Dale agrees, noting that a skin analysis should be done first.

Otherwise, you’ve got the option to cause further harm to your skin in its vulnerable state.

As an esthetician, I will say that preventative care is key if you want healthy, balanced skin.

Whatever you do, though leave the manual extractions to the professionals.
