Showerthought: I used to dread doing extractions on oily skin

I would just go straight in with my tools, but now I apply a warm chamomile tea compress for 3 minutes first. It softens everything up so much and clients say it's way less uncomfortable. What's your go-to prep step for stubborn congestion?

My friend who does facials tried that steam trick @kaip11 mentioned, but her client had super thick sebum. She found a short massage with a cleansing oil first broke it up way better than steam alone. That extra step made the actual extraction part almost effortless.

Steam from a hot shower first. Works every time. Loosens things up without needing extra products.
