Since young, I had been struggling with acne skin problems; it was only through regular facials, I witnessed an improvement in my skin.

Unfortunately, there’s some pain involved when it comes to extraction. And sometimes it made me wonder whether extraction is necessary. I’ve asked all the beauticians and facial therapists the same question over and over again. Most of them felt that it is an essential step to…
