Everything you need to learn about acne facial

Acne outbreaks is a common skin problem experienced by many people. Although the problem is common with teenagers and young adults, some adults above thirty also suffer from acne too. Trapped facial dirt and excess oil often lead to breakouts and when there is an over-accumulation of fatty oils on the face, skin breakouts can lead to serious problems with acne being one of many.


Some ladies attempt to cover up acne with cosmetic makeup but while this may have short-term benefits, it doesn’t solve the problem. Rather, makeup may worsen the condition especially for those with very oily skin. The best way to deal with acne is to use proven and tested treatment solutions that may not prevent your skin from breaking out but will take care of the breakages should they occur.

One of the ways to deal with your facial skin condition is to consult a professional aesthetician for a cleansing procedure. An Aesthetician performs these procedures to rid your face of dirt and discharges in a bid to leave it younger looking and smooth again.

Stage 1: Skin Cleansing and Analysis

This is the first stage of an acne facial procedure. It involves the wiping away of excess oil and dirt with the aid of a soft sponge or cotton pad. After wiping away dirt from the surface, the Aesthetician examines the skin condition with a magnifying glass to analyze the level of possible dehydration and damage as well as other facial conditions plaguing the skin.

Stage 2: Exfoliation

Exfoliating the skin involves the removal of the top layer of the skin using a mechanical or a chemical process.

Stage 3: Mechanical Process

This is done with the use of scrubs and other cosmetic products for the removal of dead skin.

Stage 4: Chemical Process

Unlike the mechanical process, this process is the use of acids and enzymes to remove dead cells. The chemical solutions used in this process are specially formulated to melt away tough dead cells from the skin surface. Due to potential misapplication of chemical agents, it is advisable that you only subject yourself to chemical exfoliation at the hands of a qualified professional.

Stage 5: Extraction

After the cleansing and exfoliation procedure is done, the final stage is to physically open the clogged skin pores by pushing an extractor (tool) around the acne lesions forcing the pus and bacteria out through follicle openings. After this is done, the face is washed with warm water to close up the pores.

Visiting a skin care professional is smart move to make if you wish to maintain a very healthy face but you can also resort to self-help DIY treatments that also work just as well.  Regularly having Acne facial treatments have so many benefits and if done properly, it minimizes the risks of

What are Acne Facials?

Acne facials are generally alternative treatments specially designed to combat the growth and spread of acne from the root with minimal potential side effects. Acne facial treatments like the procedure highlighted above focus on the extraction of excess facial oil and dirt clogging the skin pores. Although they are quite effective in treating acne outbreaks, they are not suited for those who suffer from moderate and severe acne conditions. Facial treatments are effective in removing whiteheads and blackheads but not good for those with pimples and inflammatory acne because exfoliants irritate pimples and cause them to break out even more.
