Mechanical cleaning of a woman's face is often compared to an execution. It lasts a long time, there is pain, and the reflection in the mirror after the procedure resembles a picture of "bee swarm bites." Nevertheless, for some reason, the number of women crossing the thresholds of clinics for this procedure does not decrease. What's the matter here? Does women's tendency to self-sacrifice in the name of beauty or "fierce" mechanical cleaning provide advantages that no other can provide? MedAboutMe tells the whole truth for those who are not ready to endure pain.
Normally, the process of cleansing the skin takes place on its own - in full and without unpleasant consequences in the form of clogged pores. The secretion of the sebaceous glands is produced in moderation to ensure the elasticity of the skin and the protective function of the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin. But in some cases, due to poor ecology, intense ultraviolet radiation, hormonal disorders, existing chronic diseases or the use of an incorrectly selected arsenal of cosmetics, the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands is disrupted. Secretion is produced in excess volume, which in turn leads to clogged pores.
Under the influence of air, sebum is oxidized - this is how comedones appear, colloquially called "black dots". If the skin secretion accumulates not on the surface of the pores, but in depth, creating white papules, you have to deal with milia. And if an infection joins the accumulated sebum inside the pores, inflammatory elements are formed - acne or acne. Most often they are localized on the chin, nose and forehead, since there are more sebaceous glands than, for example, on the cheeks.
The task of mechanical cleaning is to rid the skin of everything unnecessary. But not in all cases it can help!
According to cosmetologists, about 65% of the population under the age of thirty suffers from acne (acne). This problem has a significant impact on a person's self-esteem, spoils plans and interferes with living for their own pleasure. In this situation, even painful procedures are perceived as a blessing, because after that - getting rid of aesthetic imperfections.
But, unfortunately, mechanical cleaning is effective only in two cases - when there are blackheads and milia on the skin. The presence of inflammatory elements, vascular mesh on the face and damage to the integrity of the skin is a contraindication. Just like the acute phase of existing chronic diseases, pregnancy and lactation.
About 2/3 of the dust in our homes is dead skin cells. Every minute the skin loses about 40 thousand scales!
How is the salon procedure performed?
The first stage is skin cleansing. Make-up and natural skin impurities are removed with a cosmetic cream, lotion or gel for washing.
In the second step, the skin is prepared to cleanse the pores. To do this, use drugs that soften skin secretions, for example, peels with fruit acids or enzymes. In some cases, they act "in the old fashioned way", using a special device - a vaporizer (or vapozon). It is important to note that there are contraindications for using a vaporizer. The skin should not be steamed with vessels close to its surface, hypertension, bronchial asthma. Therefore, more and more often in beauty clinics they use alternative gentle methods - for example, peels.
The third stage of the procedure is pore cleansing. Since we are talking about mechanical cleaning, the secretion of the sebaceous glands is removed using hand pressure and / or using a cosmetic spoon or loop.
At the end of the beauty session - disinfection, pore tightening and restoration. An antiseptic lotion is applied to the skin and a cosmetic mask (most often based on clay) is suggested. The final touch is the application of a face cream (moisturizing, calming or cooling).
The sebaceous glands are located in the middle layer of the skin - the dermis. Not a single cosmetic product gets there. Even drugstore acne creams and ointments can't get there. They all work on the surface of the skin.
Mechanical face cleansing is the most reliable and time-tested way to get rid of problem skin imperfections - blackheads and white papules. At the same time, it works even when modern methods are useless, give a "misfire". For example, if you have to deal with closed comedones, when sebum clots accumulate inside the pores. In addition, mechanical cleaning is effective against wen. But it also has downsides!
If the beautician does not take into account the contraindications or his qualifications are questionable, cleaning is fraught with the spread of infection. In addition, in some cases, the procedure can be overshadowed by post-acne syndrome - that is, the appearance of stagnant spots, scars or hyperpigmentation at the site of removal of imperfections. To eliminate this problem, you can no longer do without hardware techniques.
Expert commentary
Mechanical face cleansing: pros and cons:
1. Mechanical cleansing of the face is indicated for hyperkeratosis - a pathology in which there is a high rate of cell division of the stratum corneum and at the same time their desquamation is impaired. The skin of the face becomes gray. And the first thing that is recommended in this case is mechanical cleaning, which will get rid of the upper stratum corneum.
2. Unclogs clogged pores. Improves tissue respiration. Allows access to nutrients from creams and masks.
3. Improves aesthetically appearance skin. It becomes smoother, smoother, without blackheads, beautiful, healthy color.
1. During mechanical cleaning, injury to blood vessels is possible. If you have weak blood vessels or increased fragility of blood vessels, this procedure is prohibited for you.
2. If your skin is prone to acne, then there is a possibility of its worsening. Especially with inflamed acne. There is a danger that acne lesions will spread all over the face.
3. If you have sensitive skin, mechanical cleaning may cause pain.
4. If your skin is sensitive, then during the day there may be redness, flushing of the skin.
Proceeding from the fact that mechanical cleaning is a rather aggressive procedure, a natural question arises: can it be done so that the need for it disappears? Yes! To do this, reconsider your departure.
You need to select high-quality cosmetical tools suitable for skin type. Twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, take time to thoroughly cleanse it, and then use a tonic with anti-inflammatory properties.
When choosing face creams, it is better to give preference to those on the label which says non-comedogenic - such products reduce the likelihood of clogged pores. 1-3 times a week, depending on the type of skin and its condition, it is useful to cleanse the skin with peels and cleansing masks (based on clay, alginate).
If the listed activities do not help or the skin condition is of concern, seek help from a beautician.
According to MD, dermatologist Yael Adler, The first step to getting rid of acne is avoiding high-grade flour, sugar and trans fats, as well as milk (in large quantities). They should be replaced by healthy foods food - vegetables, whole grains, fish and nuts.
There are many ways to make your face glow. But, nevertheless, the basic procedure of care is face cleansing. According to cosmetologists, regular carrying out of this procedure will help to avoid a lot of problems - remove age spots, get rid of closed (milia, whiteheads) and open ("blackheads") comedones and post-acne marks. The main thing is to choose the right way of cleansing.
Arguments for"
Easy to plan
The number and frequency of procedures depend on the age, condition and type of skin. So, women with dry skin are recommended to conduct sessions no more than 1 time a month, with a tendency to excessive sebum secretion and excessive fat content - 2 times a month. You shouldn't abuse your visits to a beautician, and here's why. With age, the period of skin cell renewal lengthens. At the age of 15-25, it is approximately 21 days, at 25-35 years old - 28 days, 35-45 years old - 40 days. And during menopause, the renewal of all layers of the skin occurs in 100 days. Therefore, one procedure for women over 50 years old once every 3 months is quite enough.
Painlessness and non-invasiveness
Of course, this does not apply to mechanical types of cleansing. But if you have a normal skin type, hardware ultrasonic or vacuum peeling will help to even out its tone and get a blush. The procedure is absolutely painless and takes about half an hour. By the way, regular sessions with a tendency to acne can be an excellent prevention of the disease. Of course, provided that there are no open foci of inflammation on the skin at the moment.
Inexpensive
The average cost of cleaning, no matter whether manual or hardware, ranges from 1200 to 3000 rubles, depending on the popularity of the salon and its technical equipment, as well as the qualifications of a dermatologist.
Arguments against"
Doesn't always work
With oily skin type, “soft” ultrasound is not able to remove all impurities. The skin will turn a little pink, but it will not work to remove deeply "entrenched" comedones. The same applies to chronic inflammation, which from time to time can appear and worsen the appearance.
Long rehabilitation period
With manual and mechanical types of cleansing, it is impossible to maintain the integrity of the epidermis. Local redness will last for at least 1-2 hours, and then crusts will appear in these areas, which cannot be combed and torn off, otherwise scarring may occur.
The skin will fully recover only after 4-5 days, but often it even takes a little more time - 7-10 days. Cannot be used within 12 hours after the procedure decorative cosmetics, color eyelashes, eyebrows and hair. Also, fitness classes, visiting any thermal procedures (sauna, bath, hammam), swimming pool and solarium are not recommended (this provokes the appearance age spots). For another 2-3 days, you will have to wipe your face with an alcohol-containing lotion and use special moisturizing creams, for example, with aloe vera or ANA acids.
There are contraindications
Common (for any type of cleaning) include epilepsy, skin damage (wounds, abrasions), pregnancy, herpes, eczema, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, and furunculosis in the acute stage. In the case of a mechanical method of cleansing, contraindications are dry skin, hypertension, bronchial asthma (severe pain can provoke an attack) and rosacea. With demodicosis, any kind of cleaning is prohibited, even "light" ultrasound can increase irritation.
Summary
Manual face cleansing is one of the most painful, but only with its help it is possible to get rid of closed comedones and even out the skin relief.
Hardware methods (exposure to ultrasound and vacuum) are suitable for people with normal skin type and have a positive effect on its condition in general, as well as improve turgor and elasticity.
Before deciding on this or that type of cleaning, consult a dermatologist. You should not prescribe procedures yourself or rely on a friend's opinion.

Facial cleansing is not the most painless procedure. Someone goes to it with pleasure, and someone like torture. A massage or a mask is one thing, but, unfortunately, cleansing your face cannot be replaced by any cream or scrub. They certainly help, but for a certain period of time.
No one can say for sure whether such a procedure is needed or not. Scientists were also divided. Half believe that taking proper care of their skin will help avoid facial cleansing. And the other half is sure that one cannot do without it, because we ourselves cannot cure a tooth. In order to understand who is right, you need to identify all the pros and cons.
What is facial cleansing? This procedure helps us get rid of acne or blackheads. The reasons for their appearance are very diverse. It can be both pollution and disruption of the work of any glands. It is clear that you need to get rid of such problems, because they give the skin a neglected look. But how? Many salons use a mechanical cleaning method, that is, by hand. This cleaning is time consuming but cheap. Before starting to cleanse the face, they steam it out, and then with fingers, which are wrapped in sterile wipes, they begin to press acne on the face.
This has its advantages - no blackheads. But there are also disadvantages. This is a very painful process, from which tears often appear. You need to be prepared for the consequences of such a cleaning. Since during the day your skin will not be of a presentation. It will be red, swollen, and even small wounds may appear. This can be dealt with with an alcohol-free moisturizer.
Sensitive skin will burn, itch, and ache. But this is not the limit. After such a procedure, due to the fact that after steaming your skin was left without protection, you can take with you a number of bacteria or, even worse, some kind of infection. To prevent this from happening, you need to make sure that the beautician, after cleaning, treats the skin with lotion, and also applies a tightening mask. But that's not all. The consequences may appear later. Such as holes in the skin or small scars. It is very difficult to deal with this, but you should know that you no longer need to go to this cosmetologist who did the cleaning. And remember, if you have dilated vessels on your face, steaming is strictly prohibited for you.
Vacuum face cleansing
At first glance, this will seem like a painless process. But this procedure is based on manual cleaning. So the consequences can be the same. The only difference is that a straw is used for cleaning.
It certainly injures the pores less. With this procedure, greasy corks pop out like champagne corks. But many people believe that such a tube cannot clear all blackheads, although it can remove blackheads in a place that is difficult for fingers to reach. In this regard, many cosmetologists combine vacuum cleaning with manual cleaning.
Chemical face cleansing
It is carried out using fruit acids. This is a new method and if you think that you will be smeared with fresh fruit, then you are wrong. And masks with glycolic acid content are used here. It will replace steaming. And then compositions with a high acid content are applied to the face. Such acids will warm up the skin, soften it and help dissolve the fatty cores. And at the end of the procedure, a soothing and pore-tightening mask is also applied. The advantage is that there are practically no injuries. But there are still some downsides. It is impossible to get rid of all acne with such a procedure. And if you have sensitive skin, there may be irritation.
Disincrustation
This is the so-called procedure for ionizing the skin with a lotion or mask. It depends on your skin. A special preparation is applied to the areas affected by acne and its effect is enhanced with the help of a galvanic current. What is contained in the pores is liquefied and stretched. The advantage is the absence of injuries. But the disadvantage is the price. This is an expensive procedure. But remember that this procedure must be repeated several times.
Facial cleansing at home
Can this procedure be done at home? Sure. You just need to be extremely careful, since you have no experience. Let's consider this procedure point by point.
- You will need: soap, napkin, towel, herbal decoction.
- The broth (hot) is placed in a deep bowl.
- cover your head with a napkin or towel so that your face is closed. We lower our face over the bowl.
- We keep it for 15 minutes, and then we blot our face with a napkin.
- We sit down in front of the mirror and begin to clean our face. Keep it clean. Hands must be sterile. There should be no nails.
So that cleaning is better, wipe the skin with lotion first. So that the acne gets out better, wipe them with a swab dipped in alcohol. After completion, wipe your face with a lotion that does not contain alcohol and do not immediately apply the cream to cleansed skin.
These are the tips. And which method you choose is up to you.

If you strive to have a well-groomed and beautiful skin on your face, the first thing you really need to do is clean your face. Of course, the use of all kinds of scrubs improves the appearance and general condition of the face, but with a deep cleaning, this method will not help. The cosmetologist will be able to choose the right method that is right for you. In the article we will talk about the types of cleaning, about all the arguments "for" and "against" this or that method.
According to most cosmetologists, a well-chosen face cleansing will allow you to get rid of unpleasant blackheads, acne, traces of acne, comedones, age spots and other imperfections for a long time. As we have already said, a specialist should choose a method, and an ordinary nurse also washes the procedure itself.
All for the cleaning
Just plan... It all depends on your age, as well as the type and general condition of your skin. So, for example, if you are more than 50 years old, it is enough to carry out cleaning once a quarter, this is quite enough. If you are under 25, then cleaning is necessary once a month, from 35 to 40 years, you can increase the interval to one and a half months. The interval increases with age only because cell renewal occurs much less frequently over the years, hence the frequency of cleaning. Women with dry skin are advised to visit a specialist at least 1 time per month, with oily skin it is enough to go 1 time in 2 months.
No pain and trauma... Of course, if we are not talking about mechanical cleaning, but if you are the owner of normal skin, you can get an even tone using vacuum or so-called ultrasonic peeling. The whole procedure will take no more than 30 minutes. By the way, if you have a tendency to develop acne, then these methods will be an excellent prevention. It is important that at the time of the procedure there are no open foci of the disease. Another method characterized by absolute painlessness is desincrustation. With the help of a galvanic current, special substances are introduced into the skin, which, reacting with the substance sebum, remove what is contained in the pores to the surface. After this procedure, the face is wiped with a mild tonic.
Low cost... On average, any of the procedures will cost approximately 1000-3000 rubles. What matters is the level of qualification of the dermatologist to whom you turned, the popularity of the salon, as well as from its technical equipment. You may be offered chemical peeling, then most cosmetologists are inclined to believe that this method is more suitable for those who have age spots, small scars or wrinkles. That is, in this case, all kinds of defects are eliminated more, and the face is not cleaned.
If we talk about certain advantages of specific procedures, then, for example, mechanical or manual cleaning, which is a classic method, is recommended for owners of oily and oily skin, if there is no inflamed acne, this procedure can also be used. In addition, it perfectly destroys already hypertrophied marks in acne and removes small pustules and comedones. Hardware cleaning will help you quickly get rid of large enlarged pores and so-called "blackheads". It is painless, a wonderful option for normal skin, and does not have any rehabilitation period. The already mentioned desincrustation, in which, as a rule, chemical compositions that are safe for the skin are used, is also painless, does not have a rehabilitation interval and is characterized by gentle and gentle cleansing.
All "against" cleaning
Will not be effective... If we talk about a sufficiently mild ultrasonic cleaning, then with an oily skin, it is not able to get rid of all impurities. Removing comedones that are deep inside is almost impossible. The same can be said about already outdated inflammations, which often worsen the appearance of your skin. Therefore, with a really serious cleaning that fights all defects, you will need to be patient a little, since the rest of the methods are painful. It should be noted that in the presence or tendency to rosacea, vacuum or ultrasonic cleaning is contraindicated.
Long rehabilitation period... Mechanical (manual) cleansing is characterized by a long period of rehabilitation, carrying out such procedures, it is unrealistic to maintain the density and integrity of the epidermis. Initially, redness appears, after which a thin film forms in this place, a crust, which in no case should be torn off in order to avoid the appearance of scars, even if not too deep. Most often, the skin is restored after 7-10 days, more often it happens after 4-5 days. After the procedure, it is forbidden to use any decorative cosmetics (for 12 hours), coloring of eyelashes, eyebrows or hair is contraindicated. Any thermal procedures, including visiting a sauna or bath, going to a solarium, are also prohibited, since most often this entails the appearance of age spots. In addition to all of the above, after the procedure, it is imperative to use creams containing aloe vera or any other moisturizing creams.
There are contraindications... Regardless of what type of cleaning you decide to use, if you have epilepsy or eczema, psoriasis or herpes, all kinds of skin diseases, the presence of open wounds or abrasions, if you suffer from furunculosis or are pregnant, any cleaning will, of course, be prohibited. By the way, read about how to treat psoriasis on a specialized website. If you want to resort to mechanical cleaning, then this cannot be done with hypertension, dry koi, rosacea. Hypersensitivity of the skin can also have a negative effect when cleaning with ultrasound. A disease such as demodicosis generally excludes all possible types of cleansing, since even a relatively mild effect can cause a very strong redness of the skin.
Drawing conclusions
- Most types of cleansing are painful (although for the sake of beauty, you can endure it).
- In order for certain positive results to be seen, it is often necessary from 5 to 10 sessions, and all this is money.
- Disincrustation and hardware cleaning are not suitable for removing comedones.
- Only manual cleaning, which is characterized by increased painfulness, is able to remove comedones that are deeply entrenched inside.
- Hardware methods are possible only with normal skin in order to improve the general condition and turgor.
- You need to go through a consultation, without it you risk getting the opposite effect.
Let's be extremely honest - facial cleansing is by no means a pleasant cosmetic procedure. And if for some it delivers only a little discomfort, then others go to the beautician's office as if it were torture. Whether it's a gentle massage or a moisturizing mask that saturates the skin with the desired moisture ... Unfortunately, neither expensive cleansers nor exfoliating creams can replace cleaning - they will not give a decent effect. And if they give it, alas, not for long.
FIFT - FIFT ...
There is still no consensus among cosmetologists about which cleaning method is better and whether this procedure is needed at all. And therefore, their opinions were exactly half divided. Thus, 50% of independent professionals are firmly convinced that with regular and proper care behind the skin of the face, unpleasant manipulations with the use of all kinds of spoons - hooks can be completely avoided. And please yourself and others with a fresh and even complexion without scars and scars - the most frequent consequences of the inept hands of an unscrupulous beautician. But what about the other half of no less authoritative experts who believe that only cleaning can keep the skin in a decent condition? And that, they say, cosmetics is one thing, but cosmetology procedure- completely different? And in fact, after all, with all our desire to cure a sick tooth ourselves, we are not able to. The opinions of professionals are a serious argument. And in order to find out which of them is closest to the truth, we will consider all the pros and cons of such a simple and at the same time very complex procedure - face cleansing.
NOT A SPOON, SO A FINGER ...
The main purpose of face cleansing is to get rid of the skin from the so-called "blackheads" and all types of acne, the causes of which can be very different. From banal pollution to disruption of the activity of some endocrine glands. It is logical that it is necessary to remove "black dots" too, if only because they give the skin an unattractive and neglected look. But again, it depends on how to remove ... Today, most salons practice mainly mechanical and manual types of cleaning. Which, in general, is quite understandable - fast, cheap, but ... angry. Read - painful and risky. Manual cleaning is a rather painstaking and long process, but every stage is important in it. The cleansed facial skin is pre-steamed - in the language of professionals, this procedure is called "vaporization" - and then squeezed out with fingers wrapped in sterile napkins. The metal loop looks a little intimidating, but it perfectly helps to cope with deeply seated sebaceous plugs and significantly speeds up the process.
"A PLUS". Removing black points. "MINUSES". It hurts, and sometimes even very, literally to tears. Cosmetologists associate the appearance of tears with the impact on especially sensitive centers located on the nose. By the way, similar phenomena occur during eyebrow plucking. But the main point lies not in the result, but in the consequences. Prepare in advance for the fact that at least a day your face will not have a "presentation" at all. A red and swollen nose, spots and inflammations, small wounds - only a moisturizing mask or an alcohol-free emollient toner can help. Too sensitive skin - and it can be oily - will burn, ache and itch. But that's not all. Unfortunately, there is a risk of carrying away all kinds of bacteria or, God forbid, infections on your renewed face, since during steaming the skin turns out to be completely defenseless. The infection can be brought in directly during the removal of blackheads. So see if the beautician forgot to wipe the skin with a special disinfectant lotion, and at the end of the procedure - make a tightening and soothing mask. Unfortunately, the possible troubles do not end there. It is possible that the consequences of manual cleaning may appear much later, when you, approaching the mirror, suddenly find small but noticeable holes or, even worse, scars on your smooth face. This is also the result of the unscrupulous work of a specialist, which will be much more difficult to eliminate than to avoid. It is necessary to say a few words about vaporization, that is, about steaming. Have you forgotten that steam baths are strictly prohibited for those who have dilated vessels on their face?
"VACUUM CLEANER"
Of course, compared to manual cleaning, vacuum cleaning may seem to you a light massage, although it is carried out in the same way as manual cleaning, which means that the consequences may be the same. The only difference is that the cosmetologist does not work with his fingers, but uses a special tube, inside which an area of low pressure is created, which somewhat reduces the risk of infection and less injures the pores. Thanks to this technology, the sebaceous plugs are literally sucked out of the pores. However, many experts believe that vacuum cleaning does not always completely clear the pores of blackheads. On the other hand, with the help of such a tube it is quite easy to remove sebaceous plugs in places inaccessible for manual cleaning, therefore many cosmetologists successfully combine the vacuum method with the manual one. Only vacuum is used only in cases of slight contamination of pores and with a limited number of pores. By the way, he copes with "black dots" remarkably and completely painlessly.
ABOUT "ACID FRUIT"
Chemical face cleansing with ANA (fruit acids) is a relatively new technique. No, of course, they won't smear you with a fragrant strawberry, but a mask with a high content of glycolic acid is for sure. The mask will help open the pores and thus replace the steam bath. Then a composition with a higher acid content is applied to the face,
which heats up the skin, and also softens and even partially dissolves the fat rods. The treatment ends with a soothing pore-tightening mask. "PROS". This cleaning method is officially recognized as the most non-traumatic. The recovery period in this case is also reduced to a minimum. And since fruit acids stimulate active cell renewal, the skin looks very fresh after such cleansing. "MINUSES". It is almost impossible to remove everything with fruit acids. So do not be surprised if most of the coves will remain in their "rightful" places, although they will become less visible. Remember, too, that sensitive skin irritation may appear. On the whole, the procedure is quite favorable and, most importantly, practically safe. If the concept of "acne" is unfamiliar to you, and you remember about kah once a month, this method was invented especially for you. The rest will have to endure spoons and vacuums.ION BEGINNER
Another practically unknown method for us is desincrustation, or ionization of the skin using a mask or lotion, depending on the condition of the skin. A special preparation, which is applied to acne-affected areas, contains anti-inflammatory, wound-healing and other components, the effect of which is enhanced by the action of a galvanic current. In this case, the contents of the pores are liquefied and stretched. "A PLUS". Non-traumatic and painless. However, in order to achieve good result, the procedure must be repeated more than once or twice. And this pleasure is not cheap. "MINUS". The high price of the service. However, the conclusion is already clear - the less your skin suffers, the thinner your wallet will become. Therefore, when choosing the type of cleaning, it is sometimes useful to be guided by the price list as well.
CLEAN, HOME ...
Is it possible to get rid of acne at home? The answer is difficult, but possible. And you are deeply mistaken if you think that cleaning the house is not cleaning at all. Cleaning, only even more risky due to lack of proper experience - of course, if you are not a practicing cosmetologist. Therefore, you should approach it with the utmost caution. In no case do not give in to the temptation to get rid of a completely harmless ka by the "handicraft" method of extrusion in one fell swoop. If you have taken up the procedure, then follow all of its points.
- Stock up the necessary tools... In particular, soap, linen napkin, terry towel, a decoction of medicinal herbs (mint, chamomile, sage, plantain).
- Pour hot, but not boiling water or a decoction of herbs into a deep bowl. Be careful not to get scalded by the steam!
- Cover your head with a washcloth or towel so that your face is also covered. Lower your face over the bowl and relax.
- After 15 minutes, blot your steamed face with a paper or linen napkin.
- Sit in front of a mirror and start cleaning your skin. All actions must take place in absolute cleanliness, otherwise infection or suppuration may occur. This means that your hands should be sterile clean, and your nails should be short.
- On forefinger put on clean, pre-boiled gauze and on both sides (with your left and right hand) squeeze and squeeze out. If the "landing" did not give up the first time, leave him alone.
For more effective cleaning, first wipe the skin with lotion, alcohol or vodka, slightly diluted with water. The concentration of the solution depends entirely on the type of skin. So, with oily skin, substances containing alcohol can not be diluted with water, while with dry or normal skin, this should be done without fail. Places especially affected by acne, first try to lather with soapy foam. In order to come out as easily as possible, before proceeding with their removal, try to wipe them with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. This will dry out the skin a little, but it will keep you from infections. If they are well softened under the influence of a bath, a compress or wiping, then squeezing them out is easy and simple. You can use the composition of 3% hydrogen peroxide, with which you moisten a piece of cotton wool, and then wipe the acne-affected area of the skin. White hypodermic dots can be pierced with the end of a needle, having previously calcined it over a fire or wiped it with alcohol or cologne. Brushing should not be done several times a week, before and during your period. After the procedure, wipe your face with a neutral alcohol-free toner and try to do without cream. As a last resort, use a light, oil-free moisturizing gel. It is better not to go outside on this day, since the pores of the skin are now open for any infection that even ordinary dust can provoke. It is better not to squeeze out single ki, but to heal with the help of special plasters. These small round stickers are impregnated with a healing agent, due to which they intensively work deep into the sebaceous gland. The patch is glued at night, directly to the problem area. As a rule, the result is noticeable after the first time.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU NEED TO CLEAN?
There is no unequivocal answer to this question and cannot be. So, with purulent skin diseases, cleaning is not a whim, but a necessity. In this case, it is necessary to constantly be monitored by a specialist who establishes the number and frequency of procedures and monitors the condition of the skin. In general, in any case, even if the skin is healthy and clean, a doctor's consultation will not hurt - he will determine the minimum of procedures necessary for your skin and recommend different variants... Sometimes cleaning is really necessary - even though the risks may arise.
However, do not forget that there are a number of skin diseases in which it is simply contraindicated, for example, increased dryness, as well as allergic reactions. Advice from a beautician from the nearest beauty salon will also not be superfluous, but remember that the beautician is primarily interested in frequent visits to the beautician's office, and it is quite possible that not all expensive procedures offered to you are not so necessary. It would be most correct to consult a dermatologist who will objectively assess the condition of your skin and decide whether you really need cleaning or if the problem does not exist at all. First of all, one should be guided by one's own feelings, then - by the advice of a doctor, and leave the opinion of a cosmetologist "for later". The advice of friends who have tried any procedure on themselves, of course, should be taken into account, but nothing more. Even if one or another method was positively assessed by ten people, it is not necessarily right for you.AND NOW, WHEN YOU HAVE FOUNDED WITH ALL ASPECTS OF CLEANING, IT'S TIME TO SUMMARY THE GENERAL RESULTS.
FOR CLEANING
Acne is a potential source of inflammation and should be removed regularly. Otherwise, the process will begin to spread throughout the skin, which is fraught with general infection. After the procedure, the skin becomes fresher, smoother, the pores begin to "breathe". Finally, black spots are simply unaesthetic. No amount of even the most sophisticated makeup can hide dirty skin and clogged pores. Of course, cleaning should not take place every day, and it is strictly forbidden to use dirty hands.
"AGAINST" CLEANING
During this procedure, a rather large surface of the skin is treated, as a result of which the face turns red and swells for a couple of days. The cleaning effect lasts about a week, so the results of this procedure can only be enjoyed for two or three days. In addition, inept, or rather "crazy" hands can provoke the formation of small round scars, similar to enlarged pores. Steaming dehydrates the skin and becomes more fragile, and the effect lasts only for a couple of minutes. So it turns out that the beautician cleans dehydrated skin with closed pores and impaired blood circulation. If injury occurs during cleaning, the function of the sebaceous glands may be disrupted over time, and they "work" with a vengeance. You run the risk of falling into a real "vicious circle" of constant cleansing. As you can see, the inequality between the "pros" and "cons" is obvious ... However, you should certainly draw conclusions in a company with a dermatologist. Only then will they be correct, and the decision will be correct.
