Had a client with super oily skin and closed comedones that nothing touched for months. Tried a 2% BHA toner on a cotton pad, then used a warm towel to steam for 2 minutes before extractions. Worked way better than my usual method.

Honestly, my usual method is just me staring at a stubborn comedone until it gets scared and leaves. Tbh the idea of a warm towel doing more work than my expensive tools is kind of a personal attack. Ngl, I might have to try this instead of my usual routine of hope and prayer.

Wait, is the staring method not a legit skincare step? I mean, I've spent so much time trying to intimidate my pores into submission. Honestly, the warm towel thing feels like a betrayal of all my fancy serums. Maybe my skin just responds better to gentle threats than actual science.

Steam first, then BHA, makes a huge difference.
