Noticing more irritation when I tweak my massage pressure for oily skin

I read that firmer pressure can help with product absorption on oily skin types. Tried it on my last few clients, but a couple ended up with tiny broken capillaries. Is this a common issue, or should I drop the pressure change?

Matthewg63 mentioned a pushing motion. Tiny broken capillaries from pressure changes sounds pretty extreme, maybe check your technique.

Are you using steady pressure or more of a pushing motion across the skin?

Steady pressure works better to avoid irritation.
