Could facial treatment clear your acne?

Some of us have a habit to go to salons and spas to give ourselves a luxury treat. Our facial treatment at these places could include cleansing, massaging, heat wrapping and blackheads extraction.

Even though extraction of blackheads is a relatively simple process, when it is being done by a beautician at the salon who usually uses a tissue paper or a blackhead extractor to extract the blackhead content, it might do more harm rather than good. After a typical session, the face will appear red and swollen. Furthermore, the pores will be clogged again in a the next few days.

In addition to that, some of us might have skin that are easily irritated by the creams or lotions that are applied in these salons. This will only lead to more acne and blackheads!

As the skill of a beautician or aesthetician can vary tremendously, it is recommended that one should ask a dermatologist or a friend for a reference when she decides to go for such a course. To lessen the chance of getting your sensitive skin irritated by the lotions or creams used in a new salon that you are visiting, try them one at a time.

Your skin is your best feedback indicator and if it doesn't show any sign of irritation after usage, you can safely assume that the cream that you have tried doesn't have any adverse effect to your skin.
