Video Transcript

""Alright JR." "Okay." "Now your skin's nice and clean and it's ready for extractions." "Okay." "Okay." "I'm ready! Is it going to be painful?" "I'm going to try and make it as least painful as possible." "Okay! Let's do it!" "Okay. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take two pieces of cotton, they're large cotton, going to wrap them around my fingers. Okay?" "Okay." "And I'm just going to gently..." "OKay." "...just squeeze right in here." "OKay." "Now is that painful?" "Nope." "That's about as painful as it gets." "OKay." "Alright. And what this is doing is this is cleaning the skin, cleaning out all the pores. Alright. So this is going to clean the skin, clean out the pores. And you can see that, yeah, those are a few black heads right over here." "Okay." "Okay." "And now, what are blackheads?" "Blackheads are oxidized white heads. So, basically, when oxygen hits, goes underneath the pore, and reaches the whitehead it turns dark." "Okay." "Okay? So I have a little tool here and this is, maybe, just a little uncomfortable." "Actually, not bad." "That's not bad is it?" "No" "But what this is going to do...." "Eyebrow waxing hurts more than this." "Oh. Okay." "Yeah, so this isn't bad." "Yeah. Everyone's different. When I have this done I'm cringing the whole time. But, that's just me. But you're doing good. And, see, what this is doing? This is just cleaning out all the pores that have oxidized white head in there. Okay, so it looks like we got everything cleaned out there. Your nose looks good." "Okay, now under there I see a lot. Is that still whiteheads or is that dry skin?" "These are whiteheads." "Okay." "And on girls this is, this is a girl's hormonal zone. And this is where most girls are going to break out. And usually, what happens, they get it in the same place." "Exactly." "Alright. Maybe here, here, over here, a lot of times they get a line of them right down here. They go away and they come back. What you want to do is use something on there that's going to be an anti-inflammatory. I have a product called 'Big Night Blemish Buster'. And that's really nice. It has some salacilic acid in there which is going to exfoliate the area. And also green tea and nice calming ingredients, like asaline which is going to help to take the redness down, calm the skin, but also be strong enough to kill the bacteria and help it to go away." "Okay. I couldn't imagine doing this at home. I know you can do it at home, but, it's so much better to have somebody else do it." "They say it's always better to have someone else clean your skin, but, like you know you can do it. You can do it at home as long as the skin is clean, prepped, softened up, and ready for extractions. And, it looks like your skin's good." "
