Blackheads getting worse after steaming and extractions?

Hi Everyone
 
I often get asked why I don't steam and extract blackheads.  The reason is that the skin's pores are shaped like tubes so when you extract what comes out of the top also is happening under the skin.  And that means yuk being spread around your face.  Plus often you end up with a bigger pore(s) than when you started and that will mean an even bigger black head next time. 
 
Also have you noticed when its summer your skin gets more spotty that is because the heat means the oil glands in your skin produce more oil and that means the chance of more spots and blackheads.  So when you steam what happens - yes you have guessed the skin gets hot so your oil glands produce more oil. 
 
So, what is the answer to get rid of the dreaded blackheads and why are they formed?
 
Blackheads are the results of oily skin and blocked pores. The “black” appearance is caused by the oxidising effect of air on the sebum (oil) in a blocked pore and the melanin pigment from the dead skin cells. The best way to get rid of blackheads is to remove the cause of them – excessive sebum and dead skin cells.

Firstly exfoliate  a maximum of twice a week, preferably in the evening using PHYTOPEEL NATURAL EXFOLIATING CREAM. This peeling exfoliating cream will gently absorb and eliminate impurities and removes dead skin cells. Apply on the entire face, but concentrating on the affected area(s). Allow the mask to dry - it will become invisible and gently rub the PHYTOPEEL off the skin with your ring fingers.  The product also have a clarifying effect so the pores look smaller and your complexion more porcelain.  It also will not feel sensitive as your skin is not scrubbed with sharp granules.   

Next apply AROMA PURETÉ INSTANT PURIFYING MASK either on the entire face (if you have oily skin) or around the nose (if you have combination or dry skin). This mask is an intensive purifying treatment which will help to slow down excessive sebum production and absorb impurities. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes and remove with warm water.

Follow with AROMESSENCE™ BALM ESSENTIAL – a 100% natural detoxifying balm that purifies, decongests and rebalances the skin. Blackheads and other impurities in the skin will gradually be drawn out, leaving the complexion looking even and radiant. Warm a small amount in the palm of your hand, and then apply in gentle sweeping movements to face and neck, concentrating on the nose area. You can also use the ESSENTIAL BALM every night as a preventative treatment.
