Which facial cleanser is better? Types of how to choose the most effective facial cleansing, reviews from a cosmetologist

Regular facial cleansing is the key to healthy, youthful and beautiful skin. Therefore, regular use of various gels and foams for washing in combination with professional cleaning every 4-5 weeks is a prerequisite for maintaining an even tone, smoothness and freshness. But modern cosmetology clinics provide a range of services, so in this article we will look at how modern types of facial cleansing differ and which one is right for you.

Why our skin needs cleansing and how to prepare for it

Deep facial cleansing consists of several stages: skin peeling, subsequent application of a mask, cleansing, facial massage, moisturizing and restoration. Cosmetics are selected depending on skin type and specific problems. Some drugs are aimed at strengthening the skin, while others help dry out rashes and narrow pores.

Cosmetologists say that even those with healthy, normal skin need to cleanse every 4-6 weeks. This standard procedure is suitable for almost everyone, unless there are special contraindications (allergic reactions, skin diseases, etc.).

How is facial cleansing carried out in beauty salons?

The procedure for cleansing the face in a salon must include several mandatory steps, the sequence of which cannot be disrupted, and if at least one of them is excluded, the procedure will not be performed efficiently, which will not allow achieving the desired effect.

1. Cleansing the skin of impurities and cosmetic residues; professional lotions and gels are usually used. At the preparation stage, compositions are applied to the skin that soften the skin secretions, most often based on soft fruit acids, which are widely used in peeling;
2. Directly cleansing the pores from contaminants of the sebaceous glands, if we talk about mechanical cleaning, this is done by pressing with your hands and a kind of loop spoon;
3. Disinfection is required to narrow the pores and eliminate possible infections through the layers of the dermis; lotions with antiseptic properties are suitable for this.

Not always, but often the final step as a gift from the salon is a soothing or moisturizing face mask.

How to prepare for the procedure

Before going to the cosmetologist, you need to wash off all decorative cosmetics using gentle products. If you use micellar water, then after using it, rinse your face in the washbasin without using any products. Even before cleaning, the specialist will apply a gel or lotion to the code, the action of which is aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the procedure. All products are selected based on skin type, its characteristics and the desired result. To carry out cleansing at home, you also need to select special products, but it is important to remember that you cannot cleanse on completely dry skin.

Brushing

Brushing, or brossage, is used for the purpose of superficial exfoliation and polishing.

Fine bristles effectively remove dirt and horn cells.

Massage stimulates blood circulation, thereby improving trophism and cellular metabolism. The complexion improves, the skin becomes smoother and healthier.

Indications:

• The presence of blackheads, enlarged pores and comedones.
• Problem skin.
• Uneven complexion, unhealthy color.
• Adolescence.
• Loss of elasticity.

Procedure protocol

For brushing, a special apparatus is used, which is equipped with a handle with a removable brush attachment. At home, you can use a manual brush or a portable electronic device.

The doctor first selects the stiffness of the brush, the speed and direction of movement of the nozzle.

Stages:

• First, the skin is cleansed and degreased.
• Afterwards the scrub is applied, distributed along the massage lines and removed using damp sponges.
• Apply nourishing or moisturizing cream under the polishing attachment and massage for 3-5 minutes.

Direction of movement:

• Chin: in the shape of an inverted letter U, but you can apply a little more pressure than in other areas.
• Cheeks: upward and outward circular movements, returning to the starting point.
• Nose: small circular movements at the tip of the nose and at the wings, then along the back to the space between the eyebrows.
• Forehead: in circular motions from the center to the periphery.

Brushing is a gentle method of cleansing, so it is carried out 1-2 times a month.

Precautionary measures

Failure to comply with the technique can lead to stretching of the tissue, loss of tone and elasticity, and unscrupulous processing of the working tool is fraught with the development of complications.

Side effects:

• Pustular lesion of the dermis.
• The appearance of excessive dryness, irritation.
• Persistent hyperemia.

Contraindications:

• The presence of an active inflammatory process.
• Sensitive, irritated skin.
• Vascular mesh.
• Violation of tissue integrity.
• Large nevi, papillomas.

Indications and contraindications

During your first visit to a cosmetologist, a specialist will definitely answer all your questions. However, to conduct an educational program, it is still worth familiarizing yourself with the main indications and basic contraindications for the procedure, so that it is clear when you need to go to the clinic.

Cleansing is a necessary measure for those with dull and problematic skin. With regular visits to the beauty salon, you can exfoliate the top layer of the skin and, with the help of care products, significantly improve their condition. Also, the use of this procedure helps restore firmness and elasticity to the skin and slow down the process of age-related changes in the form of wrinkles, sagging, etc.

Deep facial cleansing should be done in the following situations:

• the appearance of blackheads or external blockage of pores;
• increased sebum production;
• change in skin tone in certain areas of the face;
• dullness of the skin;
• the appearance of swelling in the lower and upper eyelids;
• the presence of acne and enlarged pores;
• seborrhea;
• decreased elasticity.

Cleaning can cope with a variety of problems, but, unfortunately, not everyone can do it. During the consultation, the cosmetologist will be able to identify the presence of individual contraindications. The basic ones include:

• the presence of abrasions and cuts immediately before cleansing;
• bruising and ecchymosis;
• dermatological diseases (psoriasis, eczema in the acute stage, dermatitis);
• burns caused by prolonged sun exposure;
• violation of the integrity of capillaries;
• a history of allergic reactions to drugs used during cosmetic procedures;
• taking medications that may react with skincare products.

In addition, cleaning is contraindicated for people with serious diseases of the cardiovascular system: hypertension, angina, history of thrombosis, use of a pacemaker.

What influences the success of cleaning

Each female body has its own characteristics; decisions regarding facial cleansing cannot be made spontaneously. When planning to visit a cosmetologist, you need to think about which day to sign up for; it’s better to do this before the weekend. So the ideal day is Friday.

In winter, you should refuse to cleanse, because in the cold the skin needs good protection, even if it is “armor” from dead epidermal cells. And the increased work of the sebaceous glands during the winter cold will only benefit the skin. The optimal month is March, because: the frosts are not severe, the sun is not active.

It is not recommended to come for cleaning during menstruation, as well as 5 days before and after it. During this “bad” time, the skin is characterized by increased sensitivity and a tendency to inflammation. Because of this, the damage that will inevitably be caused during mechanical cleaning will not heal soon.

If there is still a need to carry out the procedure, then you should give preference to the ultrasonic cleaning method as the safest. It is noteworthy that superstitious ladies prefer to cleanse during the waning moon. This makes sense.

In the summer, cleansing procedures can be carried out, but with great caution and in full compliance with all specialist recommendations. In addition, more intensive skin care should be provided.

Ultrasonic facial cleansing

This technique is carried out using an ultrasonic spatula. This equipment, which has a vibration effect, removes all skin impurities without causing any discomfort to the patient. Using a spatula, the top layer of keratinized cells is removed, thereby promoting the renewal of the epidermis. Ultrasonic cleansing is aimed not only at peeling, but also at moisturizing, toning and smoothing the skin. During the procedure, a thin layer of ozone accumulates on the surface of the skin, which has an antibacterial effect. Thanks to this, additional disinfection occurs.

The duration of the procedure is usually about 20-30 minutes. After its completion, the skin looks healthier and more hydrated. Ultrasound cleaning can be used by owners of any skin type. It is especially indicated for those who, for some reason, cannot resort to rough mechanical peeling, but want to have clean and fresh skin.

After the procedure, you should use the following recommendations:

• stop using decorative cosmetics for the first 72 hours;
• Apply moisturizer regularly;
• refuse to visit the pool, bathhouse or sauna;
• drink enough fluids;
• Use Sanskrin before going out.

During the first three days, in the morning and evening after washing, you can refresh your skin with ice cubes, but purified water must be used for this.

Indications for use

The ultimate goal of this procedure is to give the skin a more attractive appearance, improve its condition, activate blood flow and metabolic processes occurring in the subcutaneous fat, and regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The final result of cleansing directly depends on the method used, but some time after the procedures, many women note that:

• the skin has become healthier, its color has changed for the better;
• increased elasticity and firmness;
• pores have decreased in size;
• pimples, comedones and other defects are partially or completely eliminated.

If a cosmetologist recommended that a woman “get clean,” then he has every reason to make such a recommendation. It could be:

1. Withering of the skin, deterioration of its color and appearance.
2. Enlarged pores.
3. Presence of pimples, acne.
4. Poor turgor, “lifelessness” of the skin.
5. The appearance of wrinkles.
6. Increased greasiness of the skin.

Atraumatic cleaning method

Unlike the previous type, the use of an atraumatic method allows you to carefully cleanse the skin. During the procedure, no abrasive media are used, so cleansing the pores and removing the top layer of the epidermis is less traumatic. This method is ideal for those with sensitive skin. This contactless cleansing is carried out using special cosmetic products aimed at cleansing and painlessly dissolving comedones, sebum and blackheads. The atraumatic method is also aimed at absorbing and disinfecting the facial skin, due to which the pores narrow and decrease in size. The cosmetic complex for the procedure is selected based on weather conditions and individual skin characteristics.

Choosing a cleansing procedure

Many people remember how in their youth they steamed their skin with a hot towel and then manually “squeezed out” blackheads and pimples...

Today everything looks much more aesthetically pleasing, but mechanical action on the skin of the face still remains one of the most effective methods of cleansing the skin.

• The master cleanses the skin of blackheads and pimples, both with his hands and with the help of certain tools.
• Before the procedure, the facial skin is steamed. The procedure itself lasts about 20 minutes, because it is during this period of time that the pores are open.
• First, the master will cleanse the skin by using a special strainer (sponge) to remove all dead cells and excess fat.
• Next, the cosmetologist proceeds directly to cleansing the pores. The most important thing is that everything is done with sterile instruments and exclusively with the help of special napkins.
• If more than 20 minutes have passed and the face has not yet been cleaned, then another hot compress is applied. Without this compress, the procedure will be painful and ineffective.
• After the skin cleansing process is completed, several masks are applied to the face in succession: first a disinfectant, then a vitamin one, and then a moisturizer.
• It is worth saying that this procedure leaves behind red marks, dots and marks that will be visible for 1-2 days after the procedure, so you should not do it on the eve of an important event.
• Also, after the procedure, you should not wash your face for 12 hours, and for the next 3 days it is better to refrain from sunbathing and using chemical cosmetics.
• The cost of this procedure is 1000-2000 rubles.

Peeling is an excellent option for girls who want to simultaneously cleanse their skin, attend a massage and lift their spirits, because the procedure combines all this at once.

Peeling is a gentle and gentle way to cleanse the skin of annoying blackheads, and also make it smoother, shiny and silky.

So, what types of peels are there, and who are they suitable for?

• Mechanical peeling (brossage). This peeling is performed using a special brush with a rotating head. For brossage, scrubs with microscopic crumbs of fruit seeds, coffee or nuts are specially selected. After steaming the skin, a 10-minute procedure. Mechanical peeling gets rid of all unevenness and can even remove scars, if such a task arises. The procedure lasts from 20 to 60 minutes. Cost: 500-1500 rubles
• Chemical peeling. Chemical peeling is distinguished between medium, deep and superficial. Pre-cleaned skin is wiped with special solutions containing various acids. Chemical peeling is more suitable not for cleansing the skin of impurities, but for getting rid of small scars, scars and everything else that spoils the even skin tone. The procedure takes from 30 minutes to an hour. Cost: 1500-3000 rubles.
• Fruit peeling. This type of peeling is the safest and most enjoyable, as the skin recovers quickly after the procedure. Natural fruit acids are used for cleansing. Wine, milk, glycolic, apple and lemon peels are popular. It should be said that this peeling has a very strong rejuvenating effect. The procedure lasts about 20-25 minutes. Cost: 1500-2000 rubles.
• Diamond peeling. This procedure is new in modern salons, but it is already very popular. During the procedure, the skin undergoes a polishing process using diamond dust. Cells are renewed, but the skin itself is not damaged. The procedure lasts from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. Cost: 1500-3000 rubles.

It should be noted that any type of peeling is contraindicated during pregnancy or lactation, herpes, allergies to peeling components, as well as open wounds and exacerbation of acne!

If there are benign or malignant formations, warts or moles, then peeling should also be avoided.

You can also clean your skin at home, but the effect will not be as obvious. In addition, side effects (irritation and peeling of the skin) may occur.

It is beneficial to clean the epidermis in the salon for the following reasons:

• a wider selection of methods for steaming the skin (mini-saunas, herbal steam baths, paraffin wraps, vaporizer, masks),
• sterility of all procedures (disinfection of instruments),
• atraumaticity of manipulations,
• high degree of cleaning of pores from sebaceous secretions,
• lasting cosmetic effect,
• painlessness of the procedure,
• cosmetic care using special products (depending on skin type).

Which procedure should you choose if you have skin problems? What is better for acne: mechanical or ultrasonic cleaning?

Mechanical cleaning (manual, manual)

The manual method of removing the contents of pores and pustular inflammation is a traumatic and painful method. But it helps to get rid of acne reliably.

To do this, a cosmetologist wearing gloves removes the contents of each rash and manually treats areas of the skin with special tools (brushes, spatulas, a spoon with a recess for removing blackheads).

This method is suitable for very tight, dense and oily skin, with deep plugs. For this type of epidermis, mechanical cleaning is the best way.

Ultrasonic blackhead removal

The manipulation is carried out using an ultrasonic device. The mechanism of the procedure is the intense impact of high-frequency currents on the skin. With this method, the contents of the exocrine glands are drawn out onto the surface of the epidermis, plugs are dissolved and the complexion is significantly improved.

The advantages of the ultrasonic method are:

• painlessness,
• atraumatic,
• safety,
• thorough cleansing of the stratum corneum,
• massage effect,
• improving blood supply to tissues,
• lymphatic drainage,
• quick result,
• no side effects.

The influence of currents has a stimulating effect on the regeneration of the epidermis and dermal layers. To urgently improve your appearance before a significant event, ultrasonic skin cleansing is the best option.

Chemical peeling

The procedure is based on the action of high concentration fruit acids on the upper layer of the epidermis. There are several types of dry cleaning (light, medium and deep peeling). The choice of a specific modification of a cosmetic procedure depends on the severity of skin problems.

The advantages of this method are:

• normalization of the activity of the sebaceous glands,
• acceleration of metabolic processes in the dermis,
• safety,
• painlessness,
• versatility,
• minimum side effects.

This method is not recommended for dry and sensitive skin. It is better to carry out ultrasonic skin cleansing.

Galvanic cleaning

This method is based on the use of alkaline solutions (sodium acid salts, salicylates, bicarbonates). Under the influence of electric current, the alkaline solution penetrates deeply into the dermis, dissolves the sebaceous secretion and brings it to the surface.

The method is completely safe, highly effective, but is not suitable for women with dry, allergy-prone skin.

Video about facial cleansing

There is no clear answer about which method of cleansing the skin on the face is the best. The cosmetic method of improving facial skin is selected individually, taking into account the severity of dermatological problems and oily skin.

Laser facial cleansing

The use of laser treatment helps to cope with several aesthetic imperfections at the same time (acne, scar tissue, wrinkles and pigmentation). There are two types of lasers used in modern cosmetology clinics:

• the action of the ablative is aimed at destroying the top layer of skin and to repeat the procedure it is necessary to wait for the completion of a long recovery;
• Non-ablative laser is much gentler.

The degree of cleansing depth when using laser equipment can be adjusted depending on the current condition of the skin. With the help of soft peeling, you can even out its tone, texture and cleanse pores, while a rougher effect is aimed at removing scar tissue. The use of point lasers allows you to remodel collagen levels and carefully correct the effects of acne without damaging healthy tissue.

Efficiency of the procedure

A correctly performed laser cleaning procedure has the following effect:

• corrects the activity of the sebaceous glands;
• eliminates greasy shine;
• evens out skin texture;
• reduces the severity of scars, scars, post-acne;
• relieves the skin of comedones and acne;
• improves complexion;
• lightens pigmentation;
• exfoliates, renews the epidermis;
• minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and enlarged pores;
• increases the elasticity of the skin;
• promotes better absorption of beneficial components from various cosmetics.

On average, a course consists of 2–4 procedures. The interval between them is 1–1.5 months. The first changes can be assessed approximately a week after the procedure: the skin will become smoother, tighter, and minor defects will gradually begin to disappear. The effect is increasing. You will be able to see the final result in 3–6 months. It lasts up to several years, and if scars were removed with a laser, then forever.

Vacuum cleaning method

During the procedure, a special cosmetic vacuum is applied to the skin at an angle, the effect of which is aimed at removing dead skin particles and excess sebum. Using this technique allows you to achieve the desired cosmetic effect only in the upper layers of the skin, so it is not suitable for people with acne. To increase the effectiveness of the technique, the cosmetologist can additionally apply salicylic or glycolic acid.

Stages of the manual therapy procedure

How is manual facial cleansing done? The steps are described as follows:

First point. The procedure must be carried out by a doctor - dermatologist - cosmetologist.

Why is medical education the main rule? It is important to protect yourself from the occurrence of secondary infection as a consequence of improper antimicrobial protection; Point two. Before starting the procedure, the doctor is required to put on gloves and other personal hygiene products and clean the instruments; Point three

Before you begin manual cleansing, you need to prepare your facial skin. To do this, gels or scrubs are used as cleansers. Micellar water removes makeup residues well, and the scrub gives the skin a matte finish, removes excess fat and greasy shine on the skin. If the dermis is heavily contaminated, the dermatologist applies a cleansing mask to completely degrease the skin. Point four. In the work of a dermatologist, a special tool is used - the Uno spoon. With its help, you can almost painlessly remove blackheads and other unwanted objects on the skin. The instrument consists of two working surfaces, one of which is an oval depression with one hole intended for removing boils, the other surface is a sieve with many holes for cleaning comedonal islands; If a cosmetologist is faced with the problem of deep localization of white spots, then in manual therapy the doctor uses a Vidal needle. It consists of a flat handle - a holder with a sharp tip in the form of a needle. Milia (white spots) are pierced with an instrument to remove them; Point five. It is known that clogged pores are caused by narrowing of the skin and its contamination with dead epithelial cells. In this regard, the skin is first steamed using a warming cream or a vaporizer. Sometimes it is enough to rinse your face with streams of warm water for 10 minutes. When the pores are open, you can begin the main work. The goal of the cosmetologist is to open all clogged pores and thus remove sebum, dirt, and fat; The duration of the procedure is on average 20 minutes. If necessary, the cosmetologist can repeat steaming the skin for better results. If you continue to work with unopened pores, the patient’s pain will worsen. In some cases, the dermatologist uses manual extrusion. To do this, he will need a sterile gauze bandage on his fingers. Point six. It is important that at the end of the procedure the patient does not go out into the open space for 30 to 40 minutes. The risk of contracting a secondary infection in this case is minimal. As a rule, the doctor makes narrowing masks for the patient or cools the skin temperature.

Combined facial cleansing

When using this method, several types of professional cleansing are used during one procedure. Ultrasonic and mechanical peeling are often combined to create maximum effect. The use of abrasive media is only suitable for heavily contaminated areas of the skin, and in other areas cleaning is carried out using ultrasound. After completing the procedure, soothing and moisturizing creams and serums are applied to the surface of the skin.

Homemade cleansing masks

From soda and shaving foam . These ingredients are taken in equal proportions, mixed and applied to steamed skin. Leave for 15 minutes to act, and then you need to do a light massage with your hands and rinse off the remaining mixture. Those who are especially brave can use a moderately hard toothbrush for massage.

Honey-oatmeal . You will need: soda, honey, oatmeal, lemon juice, taken in equal quantities (1 tablespoon each). Apply to face, leave for 10 minutes, massage and rinse with warm water. 3. Yeast. Prepare a mixture from milk (3 tbsp) and compressed yeast (1 tsp). Allow the yeast to activate a little and apply to your face. Rinse off with warm water 10 minutes after the mixture has completely dried.

Homemade scrub : coffee grounds + sea salt.

There are many recipes for cleansing masks, but almost all of them are applied to steamed skin! At the end of cleansing, it is recommended to wipe your face with ice cubes (frozen decoction of chamomile, calendula and celandine).

Complex facial cleansing

When using this cosmetic procedure, the specialist is not limited to using two cleansing methods. During complex cleaning, mechanical, chemical and ultrasonic peeling can be combined. Each of these methods complements the next one and makes the final result more visible. As with combined cleansing, the specialist uses various procedures on individual areas of the skin. For example, mechanical cleansing is usually used on the most contaminated areas, ultrasound is suitable for removing dead particles, noticeable wrinkles, pigmentation and scar tissue, and fruit peels are aimed at improving skin tone.

Why is it beneficial to use cleaning in a salon setting (rather than doing it at home)?

1. Steaming using different techniques. At home, you only have herbal water baths. In the salon they will look at your skin type, condition, and features. After this, you can choose a vaporizer, special paraffin masks, mini-saunas.
2. Sterility at the maximum level. The cosmetologist, who is responsible for the procedure and the result, uses sterile instruments, clean gloves, disinfectant materials and much more.
3. Painless procedures (especially if you choose vacuum and ultrasonic cleaning, brossage). Everything happens painlessly, your skin is under reliable protection. The effectiveness in getting rid of blackheads and acne is high.
4. Choice of procedures: galvanic, mechanical, ultrasonic and others. A cosmetologist will always assess the condition of your skin and suggest the best option.

Mechanical facial cleansing

Often this type of peeling is used to eliminate skin unevenness, smooth its structure and remove small scars after injury to the skin. The procedure is carried out using special equipment, which is equipped with a brush and a rotor that rotates it. The recovery period necessary for the skin to heal after cleansing lasts about 10 days. For 2 weeks you should avoid exposure to direct sunlight and use sunscreen during long walks, individually determining the SPF level.

Laser

It is worth noting that this procedure is perhaps the most popular. Surface treatment is carried out by a special apparatus that produces a laser beam.

It simply burns away dead skin cells, thereby making room for the growth of new tissue. The session is not at all difficult; first, the master needs to prepare the dermis for the session.

This procedure can save you from many ailments: pimples and blackheads, lumpy surfaces, scars. In addition, the laser beam activates the production of protein, which is the main component of our cells.

If you don’t know which cleansing to choose, then you should definitely think about this option, since the session is completely painless and the skin requires virtually no recovery after it. After a couple of days, you will finally see the final result.

What type of cleaning do you prefer?

If you don’t know the stages of cosmetic cleansing in a professional salon and which method is suitable for your skin, then pay attention to the following information.

When performing deep facial cleansing, the cosmetologist adheres to the following algorithm:

1. At the first stage, peeling is carried out and, as a rule, glycolic acid is used to perform it. Its action is to exfoliate the skin, expand pores and remove dead epidermal cells. However, despite the established rules, the peeling complex is often adapted to the characteristics of the client’s skin.
2. At the second stage, the cleansing itself is carried out. The cosmetologist removes blackheads, acne and other skin imperfections that interfere with the normal functioning of the skin on the face.
3. At this stage, the specialist’s attention is focused on moisturizing the skin. The cosmetologist performs a massage and uses moisturizing or anti-aging creams (depending on the client’s age), which contain multivitamin complexes and nutrients.
4. Applying a thermal mask is the final step. Its use allows you to soothe the skin, prevent the appearance of hyperemia (redness) and severe irritation after using abrasive products. At the end, the cosmetologist removes the mask and completes the procedure with light massage movements.

How to choose the type of skin cleansing depending on your skin type

• For normal skin, almost all cleansing methods can be used. However, for those with skin with enlarged pores, acne or black comedones, it is better to give preference to mechanical cleansing. For others, in most cases, a vacuum or ultrasound type of procedure is suitable.
• For sensitive and dry skin, it is better to use the most gentle type of cleaning - ultrasonic. Using this technique, you can not only cleanse the skin, but also deeply moisturize and tone it.
• For those with oily, problematic and porous skin, it is best to give preference to vacuum and mechanical cleaning methods.
• Laser cleansing is the most effective procedure for caring for mature skin, which is prone to loss of even color, tone and elasticity. Using laser equipment, you can activate cellular metabolism to improve regeneration processes and active synthesis of collagen and elastane.

Cleansing is an action aimed at daily skin care. Using professional cleansing removes excess sebum, cleanses pores and removes the top layer of dead epithelial cells. In addition, care products used in cosmetology clinics penetrate deeper layers of the skin more effectively, increasing the effectiveness of serums and creams.

Pros and cons of home cleaning

The result and condition of the dermis depend on what type of facial cleansing you choose.

Visiting salons is a very expensive pleasure. Some ladies are completely afraid of hardware technologies or do not trust salon specialists. It's no surprise that many women prefer to do facial cleansing themselves. However, this procedure has pros and cons.

Homemade facial cleansing – pros and cons

Recovery after procedures

Any type of cleansing is effective and aimed at improving the health of the epidermis. The duration of the course is prescribed by the cosmetologist himself, but after the first visit the clients feel much better.

However, such deep cleansing often leads to redness and minor “side effects,” excluding the ultrasonic method. The recovery period is short, from three to five days, but during this time you should be careful.

First, let's find out what exactly can happen to the skin after the procedure and how to deal with it :

• The face will definitely turn red, as it has been subjected to aggressive influences. Redness goes away on its own in the salon, and sometimes later, depending on the sensitivity of the epidermis;
• If there are signs of peeling, use moisturizing and nourishing creams and masks, also use aloe vera gel;
• Sometimes burns occur, especially after a chemical procedure. In this case, aloe gel and ointment with vitamin B, for example, Panthenol, will help;
• Lubricate wounds and irritated areas with iodine. Also apply a clay mask based on mineral water;
• Sometimes acne occurs, from which procedures are designed to get rid of the skin. If this happens, then use antiseptics;
• In extremely rare cases, red spots, bruises and bruises appear on the face. In such cases, you should contact a specialist to change care products.

The skin after a cosmetic session is vulnerable, so it needs special, gentle care more than ever. In order to reduce the likelihood of the above side effects, do not forget about some rules :

• If possible, try not to go outside, as the skin is extremely sensitive to temperature changes and solar radiation;
• Cancel your trip to the beach, pool, solarium, sauna or bathhouse. Contact with water and UV rays will adversely affect the condition of the epidermis - they can cause irritation or provoke the appearance of age spots;
• Keep the use of decorative cosmetics to a minimum. In the first four days you should not wear makeup at all. You should not use cosmetics with a thick, heavy texture, like powder or foundation;
• The youth and freshness of the skin is determined by the presence of moisture in it. Therefore, during the recovery period, it is worth giving up any alcohol, which retains water in the tissues and increases blood supply;
• Avoid touching your face with your hands, even if they are clean. There is a high probability of infection;
• You cannot use scrubs for seven days. Even the softest scrub can injure delicate skin.

Whether you are going to get cleaned by a cosmetologist or not, remember that washing your face with hot tap water is extremely harmful. Hot water dries and clogs the epidermis, which can easily result in a slight burn or irritation. Running water is full of chemicals that disinfect it, but are a strong pest for the face. It is best to use boiled water at room temperature for washing.

Follow the above tips, and the rehabilitation period will be smoother and faster.
