Question about using steamers for extractions

I used to steam every client for a full 10 minutes before extractions, but after a workshop in Austin last fall, I skip it entirely for rosacea cases. Has anyone else found steaming can sometimes make inflammation worse?

Have you seen that with sensitive skin too?

Yeah @abby_palmer, it feels like everything is labeled for sensitive skin now. The tricky part is finding what actually works without causing a reaction. It's more about trial and error than trusting the package.

Has anyone else noticed how "sensitive skin" means something different depending on the brand? My sister tried this one moisturizer said it was hypoallergenic, but it gave her red patches for days. I think the label is mostly marketing and you gotta just test everything yourself.
