Acne & Breakouts
Breakouts come from clogged pores, excess oil and bacteria, so the fix is consistent deep cleaning plus calming inflammation. Purifying facials with extractions clear congestion quickly, and a simple routine with salicylic acid keeps pores clear at home.
What causes it
Breakouts happen when oil and dead skin cells block a pore and bacteria multiply inside it. Hormones, stress, heavy products and over-cleansing (which makes skin produce more oil) are the most common drivers.

Common questions
What facial is best for breakouts?
A purifying facial with professional extractions, like the Purifying Facial, clears existing congestion safely and calms inflamed skin without spreading bacteria.
Will a facial make me break out more?
Skin can purge for a few days after deep cleaning as trapped congestion surfaces. This is normal and settles quickly; it is different from a reaction to a product.
How often should I get a clarifying facial?
Every four to six weeks matches the skin's renewal cycle and keeps pores clear between visits.
Can I extract my own blackheads?
It is better not to. Home extraction easily scars and spreads bacteria; professional extractions use proper prep, pressure and sanitation.
