Some say you should not do massage or perform microdermabrasion on people with acne. However, in my experience as an esthetician, it is entirely dependent on each individual, their level of congestion, and skin sensitivity.
For instance, heavy massage and micro can aggravate severe inflamed large cystic acne, but this is usually the more rare grade IV level of acne. If you have light to moderate acne then micro treatments can really help improve the skin texture. This works especially well when combined with great products, a good facial, and an added LED Blue light treatment. A light therapy treatment can give your facial an extra kick to help with clearing acne bacteria.
In addition, if you have thin delicate skin, then you may need to be careful with microdermabrasion. It may be appropriate to get a series and then to stop for sometime before trying it again. People with thicker and less sensitive skin can usually do a series of treatments and then continue to come in for maintenance afterwards.
Small Blackheads and Whiteheads
If your skin is not too thin or sensitive, then crystal free diamond microdermabrasion can be great for small areas with dry or oily blackheads. This treatment can really remove a lot of dead skin and then loosen up the pores for easier elimination.
Often some people with acne have a problem shedding dry dead skin cells which hinders detoxification. This is where a variety of exfoliation treatments can help break up the oil and debris in order to detoxify and further allow the complexion to heal.
Dry Brushing for Body Acne
Anyone with skin problems can benefit from dry brushing with a natural bristle brush before showering or getting in the bath. This is a great method to help shed dead skin cells that may be staying on the body too long and slowing detoxification. You can get these online or at most health stores.
Sometimes people with dry skin also need to do this because often the heavy oils from lotions can trap dead skin and decrease absorption and elimination if not exfoliated frequently enough. By dry brushing you are getting out more toxins and increasing your chances of receiving more moisture from your body lotions as well.
For an even deeper removal of debris, I highly recommend investing in a body scrub with salts or clays as the base ingredients. Your skin will feel extremely smooth and overall it will help clear and heal breakouts.
