​The Acne Facial You Can Do at Home

For those struggling to get acne under control, professional treatments offered by licensed estheticians can be beneficial. Among these are acne facials or deep cleansing facials, which work to exfoliate the skin, minimize blockages in the pores and, ultimately, to calm inflammation. When performed as part of a comprehensive treatment approach that includes the use of effective acne products, such as those found in the  Lexli Acne Kit, the result can be a dramatic improvement in acne symptoms.

While acne facials are best left to the professionals who can more safely perform extractions and optimize the results from the treatment, a version of it can be done safely at home on regular basis. In addition to helping improve acne symptoms, the at-home acne facial outlined below is a great way to relieve stress.
