Betty's Bits of Advice
Betty Ott, formerly of Avante has 30+ years of experience in skincare and make-up consulting. Give her a call or email your questions. Here are some commonly asked questions:
Q: What is a teen facial?
A: Facials for teens are often designed to specifically address breakouts that frequently are associated with adolescent skin. Teen facials typically begin with a deep cleansing, followed by gentle extractions. A healing mask will then help to rehydrate dry, flaky skin, or eliminate oily particles.
Q: Do guys get facials, and what do they do in a facial for them?
A: Sure guys get facials! Healthy skin and proper skin care isn't just for girls. No one wants pimples or blackheads. Guys need to take care of their skin too. During the facial your skin will get a deep pore cleanse, mask, and treatment serum. At the end of your facial you will be taught how to properly take care of your skin at home. A daily home skin care routine is very important.
Q: How do I get rid of the blackheads on my forehead?
A: Bacteria, excessive oil, dirt, make-up and sweat are just a few of the factors that causes this problem. Keeping the skin clean with the right cleaners to reduce oiliness is the first step. Morning cleansing is as important as evening. Follow up with Salicylic Acid Toner - then moisturize at least once a day with oil free moisturizer and you are on your way to clear, blackhead free skin.
Q: Can I pop a pimple if I can see the white part?
A: Popping or squeezing a pimple won't actually get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push bacteria and pus deeper into the skin, which can cause more swelling and redness. Squeezing also can lead to scabs and might leave you with permanent pits or scars. Since popping isn't the way to go, patience is the key. Your pimple will disappear on its own, and by leaving it alone you're less likely to be left with any reminders that it was there.
