WHAT IT IS: An acne facial is a specialized skincare treatment that targets acne-prone skin. Unlike regular facials, these specialized facials go beyond the skin’s surface to address the underlying causes of acne, thus improving your skin’s condition and appearance.
WHAT IT DOES: This comprehensive treatment helps to combat all types of breakouts with the power of targeted peptides, salicylic acid and soothing botanicals.
Deep cleansing is designed to deep clean the pores. Your esthetician will use special ingredients to eliminate dirt, excess oil, and other impurities in the skin that can contribute to breakouts.
After the first cleansing, they will clean the skin again to remove all traces of oil, dirt, and debris. By thoroughly cleansing your skin, acne facials give you a clearer complexion.
Exfoliation is an essential step in any acne facial. It addresses one of the root causes of acne: clogged pores.
Clogged, congested pores are breeding grounds for P. acnes, the acne-causing bacteria. Exfoliation aids in decongesting pores.
In acne facials, chemical exfoliation is often preferred over physical exfoliation. It’s gentler on breakouts and minimizes the risk of irritation and micro-tears that can occur with physical exfoliation.
Chemical exfoliation utilizes acne-fighting acids to stimulate exfoliation. Chemical exfoliants penetrate deeper layers and break up dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother skin.
Estheticians gently exfoliate the skin with professional-grade exfoliating acids. These remove dead skin cells and debris, preventing them from building up and clogging pores, improving skin texture.
Exfoliation also minimizes the appearance of large pores, further creating a more refined skin texture.
An acne extraction is the process of clearing compacted or clogged pores. Extractions can improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
While you may be tempted to squeeze out a stubborn pimple, improper extraction can trigger more skin irritation and cause scarring. A bacterial infection can also occur if you push too aggressively or in the wrong direction, forcing contents deeper into the skin.
An expert esthetician can quickly determine which bumps should be removed, which ones shouldn’t, and which require more time. They’ll safely remove clogged pores manually or with sterilized tools, preventing more damage or the potential for infection spreading.
The most effective extraction is on whiteheads and blackheads. Extracting active acne lesions and bumps isn’t recommended.
After an extraction, your skin will have a more even texture, feel smoother, and look revitalized and healthier.
