Before I became an aesthetician in 1999/2000....I was extremely guilty of this.
I picked. Poked. Dug. Scraped. Squeezed. I dug with tweezers. Needles. My fingers. I did it all.
Being that I struggled with acne since the age of 12....I was constantly in the mirror looking at my skin.

Being that I struggled with acne since the age of 12....I was constantly in the mirror looking at my skin.
I would shower and then examine. Pick. Squeeze. Pop. Scrap. Dig. Pull. Squeeze. And wreck absolute havoc on my face. I knew the next morning I would look like I had been hit in the face with a meat cleaver! Red...scabby...raw....scraped...swollen...awful.
No amount of makeup would ever cover the damage I had done to my skin.
In aesthetic school I learned the facts about what happens when you try to perform acne surgery at home.
1. You are causing damage to your skin which can be permanent. Enlarging your pores permanently! Creating potential acne scars. Pits in your skin that can be irreversible.
2. You are pressing and squeezing and increasing your chances of creating even more acne.
3. You are using dirty hands, fingernails, pins, needles, tweezers, hair pins etc. that are filthy and again creating more acne and damage to your skin.
4. The bacteria and "stuff" you are squeezing out of your face/skin can then cause you to have more acne by staying on your skin AND make the bumps you are squeezing have a longer and more difficult time healing.
Ok so I hope all of that grossness makes you want to stop!
Aestheticians... Have been trained in extractions and they know when to extract. When not to extract. How to extract without wrecking havoc on your skin. How to disinfect your skin. How to prevent more acne from occurring.
This was what I did with ALL of my acne clients!
