My mentor told me to stop pushing extractions on a client with rosacea

Honestly, I thought I was helping by clearing every little thing, but she insisted it would just make the inflammation worse. After I backed off for a month, her skin calmed down way more than it ever had before. Has anyone else had a client where less pressure actually gave better results?

Why do we always think more effort is better?

Listen to your mentor. Sometimes the best treatment is to leave irritated skin alone. You just proved that with your client's results.

So do you think there's a point where too many products actually make things worse? Like is there a magic zone of "do nothing" that we just keep missing.

My mentor said the same thing last year. I had a client with a bad reaction and we just used a basic moisturizer for a week, cleared right up.
