Even on light makeup days, my skin still showed hidden dry and oily spots. If your T-zone feels oily but your cheeks are dry, you likely have combination skin.

This mix often leads to oily areas with blackheads and breakouts, while dry areas feel flaky and dull. Finding the right skincare for both can be tricky.

Instead of trying more products, I decided to get professional help. A skin consultant examined my face and found dull skin, dark spots, and many clogged pores with fine blackheads causing oiliness.

I was recommended a deep pore extraction facial to clear clogged pores and thoroughly cleanse the skin beyond what daily cleansing can do. The treatment began with a relaxing gua sha head massage, followed by deep cleansing with cleansing oil, a gentle peel, and facial steaming to open pores.

Before extraction, an ultrasonic skin scrubber and pore refining mask prepared my skin. The manual extraction was done skillfully, minimizing pain and soothing any spots that bled.

Afterwards, a lymphatic drainage massage with a high-frequency device helped calm redness, followed by a cooling light treatment and a refreshing mask. The final step was a hot stone neck and shoulder massage that completely relaxed my tense muscles.

After just one session, my skin looked visibly smoother and clearer. This treatment went beyond my expectations, especially the unique hot stone massage and cooling mask that made it both effective and soothing.

If you struggle with combination skin or persistent blackheads, a professional pore extraction facial like this could really improve your skin's texture and appearance!
