Blackheads are up there in the list of facial worries. Once you’ve tried everything from home remedies to skin type specific cleanser, it’s time to seek professional help from a beautician. But, what is the best facial treatment for blackheads? Let’s take a look?
Blackhead Extraction – What Is the Best Facial Treatment for Blackheads?
A deep cleansing facial is a good option for people struggling with blackheads. This method involves your beautician manually removing blackheads using a remover. A deep cleansing manual blackhead removal is the best facial treatment for acne if it’s the non-inflammatory kind. However, if your acne is inflammatory or you have purulent pustules, you should avoid manual black head removal and look for another option. Our beauticians can help you choose the best facial treatment options for your face.
What Happens During a Deep Cleanse for Blackhead Extraction?
First of all, your beautician will use a special softening cream to remove makeup and cleanse your face. After cleanse, they use steam to help hydrate your face and open up pores. The next step is skin exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. The beautician will massage your face and neck during the treatment to soothe the skin, and clean the embedded dirt and dead skin more effectively. Afterwards, the beautician will use a blackhead removing tool to extract blackheads one by one. Once the blackheads are out, they apply a soothing serum to help your skin feel rejuvenated and heal.
Does Blackhead Removal Hurt?
To be honest, it will hurt a little. After all, the beautician is removing deeply embedded dead skin and oil from your face. For the most part, you are likely to feel slightly uncomfortable when they remove blackheads. However, your eyes might water a bit when they work on your nose and chin. This is because the skin on these two areas is firmer.
How Would You Feel After a Blackhead Extraction?
Your face is going to feel ever so slightly sore after a blackhead extraction. It might even look a little red. But, this should pass within 24 hours, and your face will look cleaner, younger and glow with the bloom of care.
How to Care for Your Skin After a Blackhead Extraction?
Your beautician will fill you in on aftercare. Follow their instructions, and go makeup free for the rest of the day. Don’t apply any additional products on that day. Simply use some cold water to wash your face before going to bed that night.
Can Regular Deep Facials Make Pores Smaller?
Unfortunately that is a no. It’s not possible to reduce the size of the pores on your skin. Pore sizes are determined by your genes. However, regular facials help your skin remain healthy, youthful and blemish free. Moreover, some people appear to have large pores because they are clogged and stretched. You can definitely make your pores less noticeable with regular facials.
