A client's husband said something about extractions that stuck with me
He asked why we push so hard on blackheads when his wife's skin always looks red after. I've always been taught that's just part of the process, but he made me think maybe we cause more harm than good sometimes. How do you decide when to leave a stubborn one alone?

That "three passes max" rule from @the_betty is so smart. It forces you to see you're just hurting the skin for no real gain. Sometimes the best skill is knowing when to stop.

My old boss had a hard rule about three passes max. If it doesn't budge after that, you're just causing trauma for no real result. Sometimes the skin needs to calm down before you can try again, or you just leave it be. It's a service, not a punishment.
