Step 1
Choose a spa salon that specializes in treating acne. Make sure the salon employs certified estheticians who have years of experience working with people who have acne.
-
Step 2
Get a facial. Spa salons offer a variety of facial treatments that are meant to improve skin clarity. Ask for a facial specifically formulated to treat acne prone skin. The treatment may include a pore-cleaning mask followed by an exfoliating scrub.
-
Step 3
Get a microdermabrasion treatment. Estheticians employ crystals to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells, reducing large pores, removing dirt and oil from pores and revitalizing dull skin. This cleaning out of the skin pores results in healthier looking skin less prone to acne and blemishes.
-
Step 4
Get a facial peel. This is when the esthetician uses alpha-hydroxy acids that remove dead skin cells, revealing layers of new skin that are more even toned and less likely to become covered with acne.
-
Step 5
Have your blackheads extracted. If you have many blackheads and other types of non-inflammatory acne, the esthetician can manually remove these comedones to refine pores. The removal of the comedones also lowers the incidence of inflammatory lesions.
