What is the typical result of using steam on comedones in skin care?

It closes the pores
It hardens the skin
It makes extraction easier
It reduces blood circulation

The correct answer is: It makes extraction easier

Using steam on comedones in skin care typically makes extraction easier due to the way steam affects the skin and the comedonal blockages. When steam is applied, it helps to open up the pores by relaxing the skin and softening the debris within the comedones. This softened state allows for easier manipulation and extraction, as the clogged material becomes less compact and is more accessible for removal. In contrast, the options that suggest negative or counterproductive effects, such as closing the pores, hardening the skin, or reducing blood circulation, do not align with the physiological response induced by steam. Steam’s primary function in this context is to facilitate a beneficial process, making it a favored method in professional esthetic treatments. It encourages a more effective extraction process and ultimately helps in achieving clearer skin.
