So about 11 hours ago, I went and had my first ever extraction facial. I'm 14 and I had heaps of blackheads and skin-coloured bumps all over my forehead, nose and chin and so my mum and I researched and found a place that got really good reviews for extraction facials.
Anyway, I went in and had it done. First she put on some creams and then she steamed my face and squeezed sooo many clogged pores. It hurt so bad and then when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how bad my skin looked. All over my whole face I had redness and bumpiness and on my forehead, chin, between my eyebrows and on my nose I was bleeding. The lady told me my skin would quickly go down in redness and bumpiness and take between 2-4 days to heal the bloody scabs.
So now it's 11 hours later and I just showered and looked at my skin and it is the worst! Legit the worst it's ever been. It's still bright red all over my forehead, nose and between my eyebrows and I have about 20 huge red bloody pimples everywhere! I'm going to the beach on Wednesday and I'm going to be swimming heaps so I can't even wear makeup to cover it all up.
I'm wondering if this is normal for an extraction facial?! Is it meant to be like this after it? When will it go down and when will the scabs heal?? I'm freaking out so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
