Acne Facial Treatment Part 2. Feb 7/2012

It's been two weeks, and we're on part 2 of the acne facial treatment. Since the last treatment, it is already visible that the little bumps and congestion along the jaw line has gone down dramatically. This is the results of the Organic Dermabrasion and High Frequency Machine that was used. The next area that I will be targeting is the cheeks going right into the hairline. This area is common for larger acne and congestion to occur, due to stress, hormones, and even sweat buildup from a workout. I steamed the skin and performed some extractions over the skin but again, did not over do it. After extractions, toner, high frequency and spot treating (with Tea Tree Oil) was done. When spot treating extracted pustules, always use a clean Q-tip to do so and not your fingers. A clay mask application followed (sat on 10-15min) toner, and a light citrus moisturizer. Some IMPORTANT points to remember with acne prone skin: Always wear a sweat band when working out to prevent forehead breakouts and hair products dripping down on to the face, wash your pillowcase(s) weekly, swipe down phones and cellphones(including at work) with an alcohol pad to prevent dirt and oils from getting on the skin, try to avoid touching your face as much as possible, and THE BIG ONE: Don't pick your skin! Leave it alone and get extractions done professionally. More results photos to come! These tips are especially important for acne prone skin, but are great for us all to follow. http://www.positivelybeautiful.ca/
