**Extractions** during a facial refer to the process of manually removing blackheads, whiteheads, and other clogged pores from the skin. This step is often performed after cleansing and steaming the face, which helps to open up the pores.
### Key Points About Extractions:
1. **Purpose:** The primary goal is to clear out impurities and excess sebum from the pores, which can help prevent acne and promote clearer skin.
2. **Procedure:**
- The esthetician will typically use a sterile tool (like a comedone extractor) or their fingers (with proper sanitation) to gently apply pressure around the clogged pore to remove the blockage.
- Care is taken to minimize discomfort and avoid damaging the skin.
3. **Aftercare:** After extractions, the skin may be slightly red or sensitive, so soothing products or masks are often applied to calm the area.
### Benefits of Extractions:
- **Prevention of Breakouts:** Regular extractions can help prevent the formation of larger blemishes by keeping pores clear.
- **Improved Skin Texture:** Helps to smooth out the skin’s surface, making it look more refined and even.
- **Enhanced Product Absorption:** Clear pores allow skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
### Ideal Candidates:
Extractions are suitable for individuals with blackheads, whiteheads, or congested skin. However, those with active acne, sensitive skin, or certain skin conditions should consult a professional to determine if extractions are appropriate for them.
