Deep cleansing of the face at home from blackheads, acne. How they do it, contraindications, photos, reviews and results

Many women go to a beauty salon for deep cleansing of their face, forgetting that at home, face cleansing can also be done, and it will be no worse than a salon. Cleansing removes deep impurities from the epidermis, which the cleanser cannot cope with, and removes the superficial dead layer of cells.

Preparing for a mechanical cleaning procedure

Before the start of mechanical cleaning, the skin is cleaned of make-up and steamed for a few minutes. Do not steam sensitive skin. To soften the stratum corneum, cold hydrogenation is used - the imposition of a special gel.

Before starting cleaning, the skin is disinfected with a special agent that does not contain alcohol. Alcohol closes the sebaceous ducts, so it is not recommended to use it. After cleansing, the face is disinfected again. The instruments used must be sterile.

Step-by-step instructions for deep facial cleansing

Deep facial cleansing at home is not done on inflamed or damaged skin. First you need to cure skin diseases and only then start cleaning.

The face is placed over the container with the broth for 15 minutes. It is better to cover your head with a towel. After steaming, you should immediately proceed to mechanical cleaning.

Hands are treated with alcohol before mechanical cleaning. Black dots are squeezed out with light movements of the fingertips. To avoid pressure marks, it is not recommended to clean the pores with nails. You need to act quickly: after a quarter of an hour after steaming, the skin will cool down.

After manual cleaning, the pores of the skin must be closed. For this, a tonic or cold water is suitable. At the end of the procedure, the skin is moisturized with a cream. At the end of the cleaning process, you must not go out into the open air for 2 hours. In the near future, after cleaning, mineral water is used for washing, soap is not used.
