Not every breakout should be extracted 🚨
🩷 Non-inflamed acne: Blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores can often be safely extracted when the skin is ready.
❤️🔥 Inflamed acne: Red, swollen, tender breakouts should NOT be aggressively extracted. Trying to force them out can increase inflammation, irritation, and the risk of post-inflammatory marks or scarring.
Sometimes the best treatment is to calm the skin first—then extract when it’s ready. ✨
Healthy skin > rushed extractions. 🫶🏼
