How to use a Uno spoon to clean your face?

Many women and girls face a problem that makes their life uncomfortable: the presence of blackheads and clogged pores on the skin of the face. Of course, you can visit the salon, and do facial cleansing. However, after the procedure, the face may not look the best, and the journey home will not be pleasant, and salon procedures are expensive.

Not everyone knows that you can clean your face at home using the Uno spoon.

Spoon "Uno" - a small metal appliance, specially designed to clean the skin from comedones. The device is called a spoon, because in reality it resembles it: on one end of the device there is a small rounded spoon with a hole in the middle, and on the other there is a small slotted spoon called a spatula.

Excess sebum, dead cells from the forehead, T-zone, cheeks are removed with a spatula. A sphere with a hole is needed to cleanse blackheads. It is placed in such a way that the eel head falls into the hole and is pressed. The contents of the eel does not get on the skin, remaining in a spoon, thereby preventing infection of neighboring areas.

The stick may have a loop at the end formed by a wire or a thin strip of metal. And also it can end with Vidal's needle. The acne is pierced with a needle for easier removal of the contents, the loop serves to remove non-inflamed dirt. Sometimes a kit is offered: a stick with interchangeable nozzles.

If you purchase a tool from a reliable manufacturer, it will be made of medical steel, which is well disinfected. It is required after using the tool.

First, it is cleaned of visible impurities with a napkin or cotton swab. Soaking in hydrogen peroxide will contribute to further purification: a 3% solution is quite suitable. For the final disposal of bacteria, warm the tool in the oven for 15-20 minutes or boil for the same length of time.

Periodically, you need to clean and disinfect the stick in the process of use, since the scapula will collect the contents of blackheads and sebum all the time. To clean, use wipes soaked in some kind of disinfecting solution. Chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol or alcohol-containing compounds may be used. If they are not at hand, you can use the usual cologne or vodka.

Store cleaned and dried tools in a special case as a hygienic device for individual use.

Spoon "Uno" will be especially necessary for owners of oily and combination skin, prone to acne. Using it to clean your face is not difficult at all, and the necessary procedure can be carried out in convenient home conditions and at a convenient time.

To buy a spoon "Uno" should be in specialized places to be sure of the quality of the material. The device made of medical steel will not deform during use, will not corrode or oxidize during processing, and will not have a negative effect on the skin of the face. How a cheap device from an unknown manufacturer will behave is impossible to predict.

Well established brands such as Mertz, Zinger, Staleks, Leader and many others. Their products are not the cheapest, and a spoon is often offered complete with nozzles.

It is equally important that the tool is comfortable to hold in your hand and that it does not slip in it. Therefore, either a ribbed surface on the central part of the tool or the presence of an anti-slip coating are desirable.

Before buying, hold a spoon in your hand, check whether it is comfortable for your hand - because you have to carry out the procedure yourself on your face.

Another important point is the quality of processing of work surfaces. They should be perfectly smooth. Notches, roughness can damage the steamed skin during cleaning, which is highly undesirable due to the possible infection of wounds.

It should not be on work surfaces and bumps. Since the tool you will apply to the face with effort, these irregularities will put pressure on the skin even more.

It is desirable to have a cover for storing the tool. Good manufacturers, as a rule, care about the proper packaging of the goods. If there is no cover, you will have to take care of it yourself.

If you bought a quality tool, you can use it for a long time. On the spoons "Uno" do not set the expiration date. Moreover, they do not need to be sharpened; they do not require special storage conditions. All that needs to be done is timely cleaning and disinfection.

You bought a great facial cleansing tool, and you can't wait to try it in action. However, in a hurry, you will not succeed in anything other than long-lasting strong redness and inflammation. To avoid these unpleasant consequences and get a good result, you need to properly prepare for the procedure.

Keep in mind that the process is quite lengthy in time, and that mechanical cleaning, although it is the most effective cleansing cosmetic procedure, still leaves marks on the face. Therefore, it must be planned on a free day.But if, for example, on Saturday evening you have to attend a festive event, you do not need to do the cleaning in the morning.

Cleaning consists of several stages.

• First prepare everything for the job. You will need a mirror, preferably with a magnifying effect, which can be installed vertically, cotton swabs, disinfecting compounds. And you also need to disinfect the wand and wash your hands thoroughly.
• If you have makeup on your face, wash it off with cosmetics, and then wash your face with warm water using an antibacterial gel, foam or a special soap. For cosmetic purposes, the use of tar soap is justified.

• The next step will be the use of scrub or peeling. It is applied to cleansed, moist skin and rubbed with light circular motions along the skin lines. A scrub or peeling will cleanse the skin of dead cells, free up clogged pores and contribute to a better subsequent cleaning.

The tool of any brand is suitable. But you can also use folk remedies. For example, scrubbing with the help of oatmeal, which is in any home, gives a good effect.

• Now the face should be steamed. In beauty parlors there is a special device for this.

At home, it will be replaced by a basin or other wide metal container. It is filled with hot water. Boiling water should not be taken - you can burn your face. A suitable temperature is 60-65 ° C. A person with cleaned hair is kept above the steam, while the head and container should be covered with a bath towel.

The addition of healthy herbs will have a good effect. For dry skin, you can take lemon balm or dill, inflorescences of lavender or chamomile, calendula, leaves of coltsfoot. Skin prone to inflammation, oily or combination, sage or chamomile, linden flowers, oak bark are especially recommended. Peppermint, horse chestnut, birch or willow leaves are suitable. You can also make fees from these plants. One tablespoon of collection will be enough. You can also add essential oils to water.

Steaming can be done using a hot wet compress. Soaked in hot water and wrung out a small towel is applied to the face. The cooled towel is again moistened with hot water. Repeat the action several times.

• Now you can start cleaning. A spatula is applied to the skin and is carried along the face along the skin lines. Their main direction is from the center of the face to the sides. The dirt accumulating in the scapula must be periodically removed, and the scapula itself should be wiped with a disinfecting solution.

It is not necessary to press the shoulder blade strongly to the face, so as not to leave excess marks on the skin. For the same reason, do not get carried away with the procedure, and do not spend it too long.

Large blackheads are removed using a loop or spoon located on the other side of the stick. If the hole in the spoon is small, then setting it on the eel head, press the pimple with the entire outer surface of the spoon. If there is a loop on the stick, then it is positioned so that the pimple is in it, and then loop through it, gently pressing.

Closed eel is pre-punctured with a Vidal needle. In the absence of a special nozzle, it can be replaced with a syringe needle, which is preferable, or with a regular sewing needle. The needle is disinfected and punctured acne at an acute angle to the surface of the skin.

When face cleansing is completed, the next step in the queue that cannot be ignored. No matter how carefully you clean, there is redness on the skin, and the pores are still enlarged and susceptible to infection.

Wipe your face with an antiseptic solution. You can use salicylic acid, chlorhexidine, tincture of calendula, alcohol solution of chloramphenicol.They will narrow the pores, prevent inflammation.

To soothe the skin and remove redness, you can make a mask. Use a clay or any other soothing mask. Apply a better finished cosmetic product. Contrary to many tips, masks using lemon juice, potatoes and other products are not suitable in this case. They are good, but not now that the skin is deeply cleansed - you cannot guarantee the perfect purity of the products.

Since deep mechanical cleaning is a serious test for the skin, do not do it often. Cleaning your face once a month is enough for oily skin, and in case of dry skin, carry out the procedure even less often.

Properly conducted cleaning gives good results. But unfortunately, there are contraindications:

• The procedure is not carried out in case of very dry skin or the presence of peeling, as cleaning has a drying effect.
• You can not clean your face at the stage of acne inflammation, with pustular rashes, in the presence of wounds, cuts or other injuries.
• Cleaning and steam baths are contraindicated when there are nearby dilated blood vessels on the face - rosacea, herpes, dermatitis.
• You should refrain from using the Uno spoon for women and girls who are sensitive to pain.
• Avoid deep cleansing in the presence of large birthmarks and other formations.

If the skin is problematic, there are a lot of comedones and inflammations on it, it will be useful to consult a cosmetologist before the procedure.

About the use of the Uno spoon women leave a lot of reviews. They note that the tool is easy to use, and the procedure gives remarkable results.

Not everyone managed to use a spatula and eyelet the first time. Many say that preparation for cleaning takes a lot of time, but emphasize that it is very important, as is regular cleaning of the tool.

Equally important is the acquisition of quality goods. There are comments that a cheap wand began to oxidize after several cleanings and disinfection.

There are negative reviews, but a poor result is associated with insufficient steaming of the skin, as well as the fact that after cleansing the face was not sanitized.

In general, consumers are happy with their purchase and consider home cleaning an excellent alternative to expensive salon procedures.
