Deep cleaning? - you say. - Why is she needed?
Indeed, there are a thousand and one types of all kinds of creams and foams, scrubs and gels, specially created for cleansing the skin of the face.The point is that this is often not enough. Summer dust and heat, the aggressive influence of the environment and other troubles that lie in wait for us now and then do not affect the condition of the skin in the best way.
The work of the sebaceous glands is activated, and the excess of secreted fat clogs the pores, provoking the appearance of acne and blackheads.
According to the design of nature, the skin should clean itself, but this happens extremely rarely. Most often, our skin needs careful care to look good. Our way of life and diet play not the least role here. The closer they are to the "healthy" mark, the better all organ systems function and, accordingly, the younger and more well-groomed the skin of the face looks.
Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to find naturally perfect skin today, and any skin type needs deep cleansing from time to time.
Interior cleaning
Salon deep cleaning of the face is carried out in several stages.Makeup removal using a professional cosmetic product. It normalizes the pH level, preparing the skin for the effects of other preparations that will be used in the next stages of cleansing.
Soft surface cleaning, allowing to remove the keratinized layer of cells. For these purposes, one of several technologies can be used - gommage, scrub or brushing.
The following is the procedure for opening pores. Previously, steaming was used for this. Today, there are more special lotions that help soften the skin and open pores. In addition to the softening effect, lotions also have an antibacterial effect.
The next stage will be the cleaning itself, carried out with the help of special tools or manually.
In order to avoid the appearance of foci of inflammation on the skin, the last step will be to apply a mask based on natural plant components to the face, and after washing it off, apply a protective cream.
Facial cleansing at home
If the skin of the face is oily, this procedure should be carried out once every two to four weeks. Dry and normal skin needs to be cleaned less often - approximately every two months.As in the salon, the process is divided into several stages.
Skin preparation: surface cleansing with scrub, gommage or brossage. The latter is more suitable for oily skin with enlarged pores and is not at all suitable for sensitive skin, as it is the most aggressive of all cleansing methods.
Steaming will open the pores. When cleaning at home, you should boil water in a pot and add medicinal herbs to it - chamomile, nettle, lavender, etc. That is, any plants used for cosmetic infusions and masks are suitable.
Next, everything is simple: we lean over a saucepan with hot broth and cover ourselves with a towel so that the steam hits our face and opens our pores.
We treat our fingers with a disinfectant solution (it is better to wear surgical gloves) and with the help of a sterile napkin we carefully squeeze out all the black dots on the face. Everything should be done carefully and quickly, since after 10 or 15 minutes the skin cools down and the pores begin to narrow. Avoid pressing on the skin with your nails - it may leave scars.
We wipe the cleansed face with an alcohol tincture of a medicinal herb or an alcohol-based lotion to disinfect the skin and avoid inflammation.
We apply a soothing nourishing mask to the face. An egg white mask with lemon juice is perfect. You can simply put thin slices of cucumber on your face - this will help relieve irritation and tighten pores.
Avoid using soap, as well as decorative cosmetics and scrubs for the first few days after cleaning. Staying under direct sunlight will not affect the condition of the skin in the best way.
Do not forget that the first time after cleaning, your skin becomes many times more sensitive and tender than usual.
