[skin concerns] Is extracting sebum plugs safe? Any downside to my regime posted in comments?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Every two months I take my face steamer and a sterilized extracting tool to steam my nose and cheeks and (very gently) extract sebaceous plugs. They glide out as my face is dripping from steam. Just wondering your thoughts on doing this, I know pores can’t shrink, but let me tell you: After those plugs are gone my nose and cheeks are half the size for about two weeks until the plugs begin to return. (also heard they finally stop returning in your later years in life bc your skin is “less active”) I don’t do this more than once every two months or so because .. it’s time consuming. The next day after extracting I feel like a brand new person w tiny pores and don’t feel the need to fill in my face with foundation. Am I technically just giving myself a mini facial, and if so, should I stop? Anyone else do this?
