What is the recommended step to take immediately after steaming the skin?

After steaming the skin, it is important to perform extractions. Steaming serves to open up the pores, making it easier to remove impurities such as blackheads and other debris that may be clogging the pores. The heat and increased circulation from the steam help soften the skin and the contents of the pores, which can reduce discomfort and improve the effectiveness of the extraction process.

Performing extractions right after steaming maximizes the benefits of the treatment, as the skin is more pliable and receptive to this procedure. Proper technique and timing are essential to prevent damage to the skin, and when done immediately after steaming, the extraction process is generally more successful and less traumatic for the client.

While moisturizing, exfoliating, or applying a mask can be beneficial steps in a skincare regimen, they are typically done after the extraction phase to ensure that the skin is clean and prepared to receive further treatment. Therefore, the most appropriate immediate step following steaming is to carry out extractions.
