Mechanical facial cleansing: all the pros and cons of the procedure

Why and how often should you cleanse your skin?

Cleansing the skin is necessary to get rid of excess oil secreted by the skin itself for its softness and elasticity. Dirt accumulates in uncleaned pores and bacteria multiply, leading to micro-inflammations.

Deep cleaning, which should be carried out at least once a month, will help cope with this. Superficial daily cleansing is a preventive procedure after deep cleaning.

Opinion of cosmetologists

It is not easy for even qualified specialists to express a clear opinion about the benefits or harms of mechanical facial cleansing. The procedure has its pros and cons. However, despite the emergence of new methods of skin cleansing, the service remains in demand and relevant.

Cleansing rules

When cleansing your skin daily, it is important to adhere to the following recommendations:

• the face should be cleansed in the mornings and evenings using various cleansers, and they must be washed off with water;
• Cleansers should be selected according to skin type;
• evening cleansing order: removing makeup, washing, toning, moisturizing;
• use peeling, scrub or cleansing mask no more than 2 times a week;
• When washing, do not use soap;
• the area around the eyes should not be rubbed with force;
• the cleanser should be applied in a circular motion, avoiding the eye area; the skin of the neck also needs daily cleaning;

  

• After rinsing off the product, the skin is carefully blotted with a towel.

It is worth noting some features of cleansing:

• to wash oily skin, first use warm and then cold water;
• It is not recommended to cleanse the skin with products without the use of water, since when using such cosmetics, impurities are not completely removed, and the skin is deprived of massage.

Why are cleansers needed?

Every day, particles of dust settle on our skin.
When mixed with decorative cosmetics, external contaminants create a kind of mask that interferes with oxygen exchange, thoroughly clogs pores and provokes inflammation. We should not forget that the skin is an excretory organ: it is polluted not only externally, but also from the inside. Sebum (sebum) is constantly secreted, even at night - that’s why you need to cleanse your skin both in the evenings and in the mornings. The main tasks of cleansing:

• Getting rid of impurities and sebum
• Makeup removal, that is, removing makeup
• Exfoliation – exfoliation of dead skin particles
• Removing cosmetic residues

Regular cleansing is the basis for beautiful skin. It provides her with a healthy appearance without redness and inflammation, and, in addition, prepares her for the next stages of care. Why is it important? Because even the most brilliant moisturizer will lose its effectiveness if you spread it on a “layer cake” of cosmetics, sweat and sebum. Elementary Watson!

Stages of cleansing

Facial skin cleansing occurs in stages using special cosmetics:

• At the 1st stage, decorative cosmetics are removed from the skin;
• at the washing stage, dirt and fat are washed away from the surface of the skin;
• toning is a mandatory 3rd stage;
• Finally, cream is applied.

Makeup remover

Makeup removal is the removal of decorative cosmetics and must be carried out before bed, because at night the skin undergoes restoration processes.

When choosing makeup removers, you need to focus on this skin type:

• For normal skin, any product is suitable;
• dry ones are completely unsuitable for alcohol-containing products; milk is more suitable for her;
• Products with cosmetic oils are not suitable for oily skin; micellar water is needed to cleanse it.

  

Subsequence:

• Removing cosmetics begins with removing lipstick;
• then use a cotton pad to clean the eye area with soft, gentle movements;
• Lastly, the foundation is removed.

It is necessary to cleanse the skin of complexion products especially carefully and carefully. Failure to follow the rules leads to damage and early aging.

Steaming and washing

For better cleansing, steam the skin using hot water, or better yet, herbal decoctions. After steaming, the elasticity of the skin increases, blood circulation increases, the pores open, which makes it easy to remove dead cells and fat accumulation in the pores. Masks and creams applied to the skin after steaming are more effective.

Each skin type has its own steaming method:

• It is recommended to steam oily skin 2 times a week for 20 minutes;
• For normal skin, 1 steam per week for 10 minutes is enough;
• Dry skin is steamed for 5 minutes. once every 2 weeks.

  

Preparation and carrying out the procedure:

• remove makeup;
• carry out surface cleaning;
• moisturize lips and skin around the mouth and eyes with a rich cream;
• collect hair in a bun;
• boil water or prepare a decoction of herbs, pour into a convenient container;
• place your face over a container of hot liquid, cover with a towel;
• withstand for the required time.

Proper washing is important to keep your skin clean and healthy. Morning washing cleanses the skin of dust particles and sweat released during sleep. Evening will get rid of the remnants of cosmetics and dirt, returning full breathing to the skin.

You should not wash your face with hot or too cold water; for this it is better to use water at room temperature.

It is also not recommended to wash your face with running water: heavy impurities have a negative effect on the skin. Filtered or boiled water, infused overnight with glycerin, lemon juice and soda, is suitable for manipulation. Immediately before washing your face, you should thoroughly wash your hands with soap.

Facial cleansing cosmetics also include cleansers that are applied to damp skin, rubbed in for a few seconds, and rinsed off.

Deep cleansing of pores

There are 3 types of deep facial cleansing:

• hardware room (using special devices for deep cleansing of the skin, widely used in beauty salons);
• mechanical (deep contaminants are squeezed out of the pores);
• chemical (using cleansing masks, scrubs, peelings).

You can do deep facial cleansing yourself at home using natural products. Such products will contain natural beneficial components and abrasive particles.

Before the procedure, the skin must be steamed. For particularly contaminated areas of the skin, use mechanical cleansing, and then clean with hydrogen peroxide. Then cleanse the skin with peeling or scrub, rinse with water, apply a deep cleanser, leave for a few minutes, and rinse.

In order to close the pores after deep cleaning, apply a special mask and wash with cool water. The procedure is completed by applying a suitable cream.

Why use a facial cleanser?

Cleansing is the main step on the path to healthy and glowing skin, because it is like a sponge that absorbs everything it interacts with throughout the day - dust, sweat, secretion of the sebaceous glands. Frequent use of cosmetics, in particular foundation, greatly pollutes the pores. As a result, such unpleasant phenomena as rashes and comedones can occur, which is why the face becomes unattractive, takes on an unhealthy appearance, loses elasticity and secretes excess fat.

To avoid this, you should use special facial skin products that provide an excellent cleansing effect, and cream is one of them. It not only frees pores from dirty particles, but also moisturizes, nourishes and restores the lipid balance of the skin. The cleanser creates a barrier that prevents dirt from penetrating into the pores, improves circulation and blood flow, which helps maintain skin elasticity and silkiness.

How to choose a cleanser based on your skin type

Selection rules:

• For oily skin, degreasing foam, mousse, scrub and toner without alcohol, designed specifically for oily and problem skin, are suitable.
• For dry skin, cleansing milk or oil is suitable for cleansing, which will saturate it with vitamins and moisturize the skin, smooth out fine wrinkles.
• The choice of cleansing products for normal skin is wider. This includes a variety of gels, micellar water, milk, powders and powders.
• Alcohol-free products are suitable for cleansing mixed-type skin: gel, foam, milk.

When purchasing facial cleansers, it is important to pay attention to the presence of harmful substances in the composition , such as animal fats, bentonite, glycol, and gluten. High-quality drugs should not contain such substances.

Consumer Reviews

Yulia Kremleva (irecommend.ru)

For a long time I could not find a normal toner for my face. I often came across ones that left a sticky film on my face and I wanted to wash my face quickly. In addition, my skin is problematic, oily and therefore requires careful cleansing. Once at the pharmacy I saw a tonic from La Cree. I am already familiar with the series of cosmetics from this company; in general, I like their cosmetics. I decided to experiment and buy their tonic. The tonic is not simple, but Stop Acne. On the packaging it was written that it regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands, reduces pores, and deeply cleanses the skin. I can say that after a week of using the tonic, the blackheads on my nose disappeared, the pores on the wings of my nose became smaller, and in general my skin somehow became fresher, clearer and began to look much better. This toner is simply magical. The feeling on the skin after using the toner is very pleasant. There is no stickiness! All cosmetics and dirt remain on the cotton pad. It turns out that a regular washing gel does not completely cleanse the skin. I plan to go to the pharmacy and buy La-Cri foam from this series.

Advantages - does not dry out - perfectly cleanses the skin - pleasant aroma - herbal composition

Djemka (otzovik.com)

"Good afternoon friends! I was quite skeptical about acne treatments. I bought the first thing I came across without reviews or recommendations, since my teenage son asked - I need to respect it and support it. Actually, he has nothing at all, here and there, and quite a bit of small pimples like acne (maybe for now?). But imagine my surprise when literally after a couple of days of use my skin noticeably improved!

This is the remedy. Yes, it really quickly relieves inflammation, redness and acne disappears. The effectiveness of such components as licorice, string, salicylic acid has long been known to everyone and cannot be disputed. I was not familiar with fireweed. I read that it is rich in tannins, which have anti-inflammatory properties.

The product has a gel consistency, colorless and odorless. This made my son happy; he would still be stubborn to smear himself with the fragrant scent.

But the anointed area of ​​the skin shines. So you can’t apply it before leaving the house, only in the evening. But fortunately, this is enough for improvement.

It turns out this is stage 4 in a series of acne stops.

These stages can be recommended to girls, but for us there is no need, a boy won’t do it anyway.

In general, La-Cri local action cream gel really works well, and the price is not exorbitant.”

Angle(otzovik.com)

“Hello everyone, dear friends. This review of mine will be more useful and interesting for teenagers, as well as young people who suffer from such a common problem as acne. I tried this remedy both in monotherapy and in combination, so I hope my review will be the most objective, since I will compare the effectiveness of both options of use. So, let's go.

This product is distinguished by its relatively natural composition of natural ingredients, why relatively? Because, after all, there are some unhealthy ingredients there too. The overall impression is positive, a four.

Decor.

It is beautiful! The gel is sold in an individual box, inside of which there is a thin and easy-to-use tube. According to the tradition of this brand, all inscriptions are made in Russian, which allows you to familiarize yourself in detail with the components and active ingredients. But the main advantage is the convenient tip of the tube; it is long and thin, with a small hole at the end. This shape, firstly, allows you to hold the tube itself like a pen, and secondly, to precisely apply the product to the skin and dose it individually, since the hole is really small. All inscriptions are made in a relatively large font and are easy to read; the gel packaging is opaque, with a white and green laconic design. For design - a solid 10 points!

Appearance of the gel.

I was pleased that it was completely transparent. The texture is light, delicate, a true gel, closer to 1.5-2 on a five-point scale of cream textures. The consistency is soft and fluid, but not outright liquid. It comes out of the tube without pressure, very easily, and does not form crusts on the lid. The aroma is very weak, barely noticeable and not felt at all on the face, which is a plus for me in this case.

How to apply?

For the effects of the gel to be most pronounced, it needs to be applied pointwise, after which I carefully rub it with the tip of the tube until it dries completely - over each problematic centimeter of the skin))) If you apply it just like that, the effects are not so obvious. The gel spreads well over the skin, spreads comfortably, and lasts for about two months.

Effects on skin, healing.

The effectiveness of the product is average and does not stand out favorably against the background of other spot gels and patches - at least for me. Together with general therapy, the effectiveness is, of course, much higher, but I think in this case it is due to the effect of general medications, and not this gel. What effects are observed with monotherapy with this drug:

• reducing skin inflammation,
• preventing the appearance of acne scars (if used immediately when inflammation develops),
• even out skin tone,
• The pimples themselves go away a little faster.

That’s, in fact, all that I noticed about myself...”

Reviews about the procedure Manual mechanical facial cleansing

• Sophia | 2014-10-07 20:29:31 I already did the second combined cleansing (mechanical and ultrasonic), before the skin was almost without acne, 1-2 sometimes popped up, and after the cleansing it was kind of terrible, my whole face was covered in pimples, although I went to various cosmetologists. It's better not to do any cleaning.
• Alexandra |
  2014-02-11 14:15:45 I did ultrasonic peeling using a coupon with a 50% discount, the blackheads were as deep as they were, and only blackheads were removed, and not all of them. It's better when you press with your hands.
• Sophia |
  2014-02-09 15:07:21 I constantly cleanse my face. I really like ultrasonic peeling, after it the skin becomes soft, tender, blackheads disappear. The only thing is that after ultrasonic cleaning, the cosmetologist presses out deep-seated acne with a spoon.

Indications

Manual facial cleansing is indicated if the following symptoms are present:

• black dots;
• comedones;
• clogged pores;
• contamination ;
• wen;
• dulling of skin tone;
• uneven terrain ;
• decreased tone .

An indication is the lack of firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Consequences

If during the procedure the cosmetologist violated the technique, or the patient did not adhere to all the necessary instructions, then the development of some complications cannot be ruled out.

Redness

As a rule, this condition is considered normal and goes away on its own after 1-2 days. A more persistent symptom may occur as a result of increased sensitivity or improper cleaning. To eliminate this side effect, it is recommended to make masks with a soothing property or apply cold compresses.

Edema

The swelling also subsides within a couple of days. If this does not happen, you should consult a dermatologist who can determine a more precise cause of this phenomenon.

Hematomas

Bruises can appear as a result of increased exposure of the skin by a specialist or if contraindications are ignored. To eliminate them, you can use heparin ointment.

Inflammation

The inflammatory process may begin to develop two days after the procedure. Among the main reasons are improper care or unprofessionalism of a cosmetologist. In this case, you need to see a doctor who will select the most effective treatment.

Scarring

They may remain as a result of non-compliance with the cleansing manipulation technique. Failure to comply with follow-up care instructions may also be to blame. To eliminate this problem, special additional cosmetic procedures will be needed.

Allergy

Both during and after the session, the occurrence of an allergic reaction cannot be ruled out. For treatment, you need to start taking antihistamine medications.

Infection

It occurs against the background of neglect of the rules of antiseptics and asepsis. To get rid of the problem, you will need to undergo a course of antibacterial therapy.

Contraindications

Among the most common contraindications, experts highlight the presence of herpes, dermatitis, eczema, allergies, boils in the facial area, bronchial asthma, and blood diseases.

In addition, such a procedure cannot be performed if the patient has a dry skin type, hypertension, or hypersensitive skin.

A relative limitation is the period before menstruation, as well as during it. It is necessary to refuse mechanical cleansing at this time for the reason that, against the background of an increase in progesterone levels, the viscosity of sebum increases, and sensitivity also increases significantly.
