Suffering From Acne? Try an Acne Facial

You may be suffering from acne. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, causing whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. These usually appear on the face, forehead, upper back, or shoulders, and is most common among teens, although people of all ages suffer from acne, as well.

Your typical facial cleanser might not be helping you much with this uncomfortable and embarrassing condition, so it may be time for you to consider an acne facial administered by a professional aesthetician instead. This is an alternative treatment that is designed to treat the root cause of acne by focusing primarily on extractions for blocked pores. This will release an excess buildup of oil and will also clean out the dirt that is clogging your pores. The end result will be a reduction in the look and feel of your acne and will calm the inflammation of your skin.

An acne facial will start with a thorough cleansing and exfoliation. Your aesthetician will then perform an extraction process for those clogged pores, which can be done through pressure on either side of the pore using fingers and cotton balls, or with tools. This will often be followed by a mask or facial massage and such products as salicylic and glycolic acids, which remove dead skin cells.

The main benefit to you will be, of course, the reduction of facial acne, although this type of treatment will also help reduce redness and inflammation, promoting a healthy balance for your skin. You should start to see results after the first facial, but you may need to make multiple visits to achieve your desired result. It’s also going to be very important to take good care of your skin at home between visits, too, and your professional aesthetician can make recommendations that will help you do just that.
