I used to think those little facial steamer things were just a gimmick

Had a client with really stubborn blackheads that my usual extractions just wouldn't clear, even after three sessions. On a whim, I tried steaming her face for a full 15 minutes with a cheap handheld unit before working, and it made a huge difference. Everything came out so much easier and with less redness. Has anyone else found a specific tool or step that finally cracked a tough skin issue for you?

Sounds like you just got lucky with that one client. Most of the time, that extra steam just dries out the skin and makes it more sensitive.

Honestly, my friend's skin got way worse after trying that.

You say it dries out skin most of the time. What are you basing that on, like a specific study or just what you've seen?
