The technology of mechanical facial cleansing

In today's world, face skin is exposed to environmental influences every day, such as the sun, wind, frost, car exhaust and dust. All this damages the skin and carries negative consequences. The pores are clogged, the skin stops breathing, bacteria appear in them and, as a result, inflammation occurs. Normal daily washing is not enough to completely rid the face of pollution.

For better cleansing, a special procedure is applied that frees the pores. The mechanical cleaning method is one of the most popular and effective today.

Mechanical (manual, manual) cleaning is a cosmetic procedure that is carried out for deep cleansing of the skin.

After cleaning, the skin is freed from black spots, acne, deep sebaceous plugs and dead cells.

The advantages of mechanical cleaning:

• deep and effective cleansing;
• adjustment of sebum production;
• improved blood circulation;
• improving the color and texture of the skin;
• increased susceptibility to tanning;
• increase the ability of the skin to absorb cream;
• reduction in the number of black spots and acne;
• the disappearance of inflamed areas;
• short time to complete the procedure (no more than an hour);
• low cost;
• ease of implementation.

Cons of manual cleaning:

• soreness;
• a long recovery period after the procedure (about three days).

Manual cleaning is very traumatic and painful, so it will not be done for no apparent reason.

Indications for mechanical cleaning:

• oily skin;
• enlarged pores;
• black dots;
• acne
• reduced skin tone;
• uneven complexion.

Any inflammation on the face is a reflection of the internal processes of the body. Before getting rid of visible imperfections, you need to determine the cause of their appearance and undergo treatment.

Due to the fact that this procedure injures the skin and has a lasting effect, it can not be done often. The recommended frequency for owners of oily skin is every three or four months. With combination skin, the procedure can be performed once every six months. If the skin is dry, manual face cleaning is advised to be done only once a year in the summer. In order not to harm the skin and get the desired effect, you need to consult a cosmetologist on the frequency of cleaning.

Each cosmetic procedure has contraindications. Do not neglect the advice of professionals and risk your own health and beauty.

List of contraindications for mechanical cleaning:

• herpes;
• dermatitis;
• furunculosis;
• eczema
• very dry skin;
• fragile vessels;
• allergy to cosmetics;
• diseases of the circulatory system;
• bronchial asthma;
• hypertonic disease;
• low pain threshold;
• menstruation.

First you need to determine what causes inflammation on the face. Imperfections are usually symptoms of various diseases of the body. It is worth contacting a dermatologist, identifying the source of symptoms and undergoing drug treatment. Only after these steps and in the direction of the doctor can you go to the cosmetologist to clean the skin.

It must be remembered that in the first three days after the procedure, the face looks unpresentable, redness and small wounds are possible.

Preparation for the procedure should begin in a few days. It is necessary to minimize inflammation on the face. To do this, abandon the sweet, reduce the amount of use of decorative cosmetics and apply a drying cream on the inflamed areas of the face.

Experts advise making an absorbing clay mask a day before manual cleaning. Immediately before going to the beautician, you need to cleanse your face with suitable skin type products.

Manual cleaning is a simple procedure that you can do on your own at home. But nevertheless, it is better to entrust any business to a professional and contact a beauty salon. In addition, the salon follows the rules of antiseptics and asepsis, which helps to avoid undesirable complications after the procedure.

Before visiting a beauty parlor, do not apply makeup. It is better to cleanse the skin with your favorite product, in order to facilitate the work of the cosmetologist and reduce the time for the preparatory stage of cleaning.

Mechanical cleaning includes three main stages: preparatory, cleaning itself and final.

At the first stage, preparation for cleaning takes place.

All tools and hands of the master must be treated with an antiseptic. During the procedure, the beautician must wear sterile gloves.

Make-up remover and skin cleansing from fat and dirt are required. Usually it is enough to wipe the face with lotion, but if necessary, a specialist can apply a cleansing mask. Means should be suitable for the type of skin.

Then follows the expansion of pores. There are several basic methods: steaming, warming gel, cold hydrogenation and water compresses. It should be noted that not all methods are suitable for absolutely every girl. Steaming can not be done with hypertension, bronchial asthma, located close to the skin capillaries and unhealed wounds.

Then the surface of the skin is treated with rapidly rotating brushes. This stage is optional, so it is not done in all salons.

At the second, main stage, manual cleaning of the skin of the face occurs.

For cleaning, the specialist uses several tools:

• Spoon Uno is a two-pointed tool, on one end of which is a spoon with a hole, on the other - a small calico. Single acne is removed with a spoon, chintz - black dots and comedones.
• Vidal's loop is suitable for eliminating deep comedones and superficial blackheads.
• Vidal's needle is used to remove wen and deep-seated blackheads.

Before work, the treated area of ​​the skin is wiped with lotion. After each removal of contamination, the beautician must treat the tool and skin with a disinfectant.

The development of the skin occurs against the course of the excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands. Removal of single imperfections is carried out along the duct.

Cleaning can not be done for more than twenty minutes, because during this time the pores are narrowed and any action becomes very painful. If the required time is not enough to completely cleanse the skin, the doctor prescribes a second procedure.

At the final stage, the skin is sanitized and disinfected. The master treats the skin with a disinfecting lotion and applies a special mask. The mask absorbs excess fat, relieves inflammation, soothes the skin and tightens pores. After the mask, you can do a light massage. It will help improve blood circulation.

You can not leave the salon immediately after the procedure. You need to wait about half an hour, so that the pores are completely narrowed, and only after that go out into the street. Otherwise, the pores will become clogged with dirt and cleaning will be a waste of time and money.

Performing the procedure at home consists of the same steps. Tools that a professional uses are relatively cheap and easy to find on sale.

If you don’t want to spend money on equipment, you can do it only by hand without the use of special tools. Before cleansing your face, you need to clean your nails. They should be short and neatly trimmed so as not to cause unnecessary harm to the skin. It is better to do the procedure in disposable medical gloves. If you refuse gloves, wash your hands with antibacterial soap very carefully and treat them with alcohol.

Manual cleaning should be done while sitting in front of a magnifying mirror in a well-lit place. Before starting the procedure, you need to remove makeup and wash with a gel suitable for the type of skin.

To expand the pores, you need to steam the face. You can use ordinary water, but it is better to steam the skin over a decoction of chamomile or calendula. Chamomile has disinfecting and regenerating properties, calendula has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects.

First you need to boil the broth for three minutes, then remove the pan from the stove and tilt your head above it, covered with a thick towel to create a steam bath. Steam must be done very carefully so as not to burn the skin.

Now you need to disinfect your hands and wipe your face with a three percent solution of hydrogen peroxide. You can begin to clean your face by first wrapping your index fingers with non-woven sterile wipes. You need to squeeze the skin with your fingers near the contamination to remove the sebaceous formation from the pores. It is important that you periodically wipe your hands and face with lotion or disinfectant.

Do not forget that cleaning can be done no longer than twenty minutes, otherwise the pores will close and there will be more harm from the procedure than good. At the end of the process, you need to wipe your face with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and apply a soothing mask.

A big plus of home cleaning is the lack of the need to go out.This allows you to give the skin a little rest after a painful event, without exposing it to undesirable effects.

Mechanical cleaning is very harmful to the skin. In the first days after the procedure, she needs special attention. If you do not follow the rules of post-treatment care, you can get unwanted complications. Typically, neglect of a cosmetologist’s advice on skin care after cleansing causes unpleasant consequences.

After mechanical cleaning, it is important:

• prevent skin contact with water in the first twelve hours after the procedure;
• avoid temperature extremes (do not go to the bathhouse, sauna);
• avoid sunlight and do not visit the solarium;
• do not go to the pool;
• use sunscreen;
• do not drink alcohol;
• drink plenty of water;
• do not use makeup;
• do not use alcohol-containing products;
• treat wounds with iodine or an antiseptic;
• do not remove crusts from dried wounds;
• moisturize the skin with a fat cream;
• wash your face with sensitive skin cleanser or mineral water.

The negative consequences of mechanical cleaning are quite rare and usually happen due to neglect of post-treatment care or mistakes by a cosmetologist. Subject to all the rules, there should be no complications.

Redness should go in three days. To remove it, you need to apply soothing masks and use cold herbal compresses.

Swelling should go away in two days. If swelling does not subside, you should consult your doctor. It may be a symptom of a latent disease or allergy.

Acne can occur due to carelessness of the beautician or due to improper skin care after cleansing. To solve the problem, you need to contact a dermatologist. An allergic reaction is treated with antihistamines.

Infection occurs if you violate the rules of asepsis and antiseptics during the procedure. For treatment, antibacterial agents are used.

Scars resulting from violations of the rules for cleaning and subsequent care are removed using special cosmetic methods.

If you have any skin problems, you should immediately consult a doctor. Self-medication can lead to a worsening of the situation.

Mechanical cleaning of the face is a cardinal measure to combat skin imperfections. To less often resort to this unpleasant procedure, you need to monitor your lifestyle. Proper nutrition, regular exercise, enough sleep and walking in the fresh air will help keep your skin fresh, healthy and beautiful. Constant rashes on the face can be a symptom of any serious problems with the body. In this case, you must consult a doctor to identify the cause and treatment of the disease.

If you monitor the skin and carefully care for it, it will be enough to carry out cleaning once a year. In the summer, the work of the sebaceous glands increases, the volume of produced fat increases, the pores begin to become very dirty. It is at this point that the skin needs help and cleansing.

In addition to the manual, there are several types of cleaning: vacuum, ultrasonic, laser and chemical.

Vacuum cleaning is carried out by a special device that draws dirt from the pores. During ultrasonic cleaning, the skin is exposed to ultrasonic waves. This helps fight non-inflammatory acne, lighten age spots and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen. In the laser method, the laser beam penetrates the upper and middle layers of the epidermis and removes dead cells and impurities. This procedure is considered the most painless and safe in the matter of infection. Dry cleaning - removal of dead cells and excess sebaceous secretions using chemical acids.
