Warning: my manual extraction technique was bruising clients for months

I used to think pressing harder on stubborn clogged pores was the way to get them out. Last week a client said "ouch" and I looked closer at her skin... she had red marks that stuck around for 3 days. My coworker at the spa in Austin told me to use less pressure and more gliding motions with my tools. Now I stop the second I feel resistance instead of forcing it. Anyone else have to unlearn bad habits from school? Nobody taught me this in esthetics program.

Did your school actually teach any technique at all or was it just product pushing?
