Which is a common effect of over-extraction during facials?

  1. Glowing skin

  2. Skin irritation and inflammation

  3. Increased moisture retention

  4. Enhanced product absorption

The correct answer is: Skin irritation and inflammation

Over-extraction during facials can lead to skin irritation and inflammation due to the removal of the skin's natural barrier and essential oils. When products are applied excessively or inappropriately, this can disrupt the skin's equilibrium, resulting in a compromised protective layer. The skin may respond with redness, swelling, or a burning sensation, indicating an inflammatory response. On the other hand, glowing skin is often an effect of proper skincare, not over-extraction. Increased moisture retention typically occurs when the skin barrier is intact and healthy, not compromised as it would be with over-extraction. Enhanced product absorption can happen when the skin is in good condition, but damaging the skin through over-extraction will ultimately hinder, not help, the absorption of products.
