Besides their soothing effect, what do hot towels help with in facial treatment?

• A. Softening the skin before extractions
• B. Tightening the muscles
• C. Reducing pigmentation
• D. Eliminating pores

Answer: (A)

Hot towels deliver gentle heat that makes the skin more pliable and the contents of pores easier to remove. The warmth softens the keratin and sebum blocking the pore, so extractions can be done smoothly with less pulling and trauma to the skin. That soothing heat isn’t about tightening muscles, reducing pigmentation, or eliminating pores; those effects aren’t achieved by warm towels. Their practical benefit in facial treatments is primarily softening the skin before extractions.
