I finally understood why my extractions were causing redness after a workshop in Seattle.

The instructor watched me work on a model and said 'you're pushing down, not lifting up'... now I use a different angle and my clients don't look so irritated. Anyone else have a simple trick that fixed a basic technique?

Disagree completely. Pushing down works fine if you know what you're doing. I've been an esthetician for twelve years and my method gets everything out in one pass. The whole lifting thing just takes longer and leaves stuff behind. Redness happens because people are too rough or use bad tools, not because of the angle. My clients never have issues because I control the pressure.

My friend's skin got torn up by a pro using that method, @lisa_hill23. Lifting at an angle just feels way safer for me.
