Facial TreatmentsPregunta 63 de 100

A client requests a full facial massage but has inflamed pustular acne across both cheeks. What should the esthetician do?

a.Perform vigorous petrissage to break up the congestion
b.Omit massage over the inflamed areas, since massage over active inflamed lesions can spread bacteria and worsen the condition
c.Massage only with a heavy occlusive oil
d.Massage the area longer to increase circulation and speed healing

Explicación

Massage over inflamed pustular acne spreads bacteria across the face and increases inflammation, so those areas are avoided while unaffected areas may still be treated gently. Vigorous kneading and prolonged manipulation compound the damage. Heavy occlusive oils add follicular congestion to skin that is already impacted.
