Mechanical facial cleansing: reviews

Most cosmetologists are confident that manual facial cleansing is still the most effective, although the most traumatic method for the skin, especially when it comes to acne.

By eliminating “ripe” pimples in this way, cleansing prevents the spread of infection to healthy tissue.

The skin is evened out, the number of blackheads is reduced, and the need to use cosmetics that can dry out the epidermis is reduced.

All these effects can be expected from this method only if it is performed according to all the rules of asepsis.

It is for this reason that cosmetologists do not recommend manual cleaning at home: if done unprofessionally, it can, on the contrary, provoke an inflammatory process on relatively healthy skin.

It is best if the indications for facial cleansing are determined by a cosmetologist; he can also recommend the optimal and most effective method, as well as cosmetics, which are also selected individually.

How mechanical facial cleansing occurs using a Uno spoon

Before starting the procedure, a complete facial make-up removal is required.

Then the skin is steamed to open the pores as much as possible - so that the contents of the comedones can subsequently be removed with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues. Steaming occurs either using a special mask or a vaporizer.

If the skin is heavily contaminated, a cosmetologist can perform superficial cleaning with a scrub; this removes surface dead epithelial cells and softens the contents of sebaceous plugs.

After such preparation, proceed directly to cleansing the face using a Uno spoon. For blackheads, use the side with the strainer. It is especially convenient for use in places where comedones are located close to each other - for example, at the base of the nose.

The hole on the spoon is aligned with the clogged sebaceous gland, and a pressing movement is applied with medium force.

As a result, the contents of the point come out, and the surrounding tissues are minimally injured due to the distribution of pressure.

The opposite side of the cosmetic spoon is used to squeeze out pimples.

In the process of cleansing the face, the tools have to be repeatedly cleaned of dirt and sebum, which is released from clogged pores.

Manual facial cleansing ends with the application of a soothing mask, the task of which is to narrow pores, disinfect the skin and partially remove swelling and redness that appeared as a result of microtrauma to tissues during mechanical squeezing out of impurities.

The Uno spoon for facial cleansing is a simple metal tool designed for manual mechanical removal of pimples, plugs and blackheads. This device can be used not only in special cosmetology establishments, but also at home independently. A lot of useful and interesting information can be found in the article on Plastic.com.

Uno spoon for facial cleansing: all the features of use

A spoon is a cosmetology tool that is needed for mechanically cleaning the face. Over the years of use, it has established itself as a very effective device, which, with the appropriate skills, can be easily used even at home without the help of others.

This universal device is made from a medical alloy that is safe for the skin.

The spoon has two working attachments - one on each side:

1. The first has one hole and is used to squeeze out pimples.
2. The second one looks like a small strainer and is used to cleanse the stratum corneum of dirt and fat.

Uno has thick, rigid walls and does not contain sharp edges. This structure allows, when used for cosmetic purposes, to exert gentle pressure on the surface of the skin, and minimizes the risk of injury.

Before use, the instrument must be disinfected.

Rules of application

Using Uno gives good results, but can cause unpleasant and painful sensations. And if the operating technology is violated, it can even provoke inflammation and deterioration of the skin.

The following reasons can lead to unpleasant consequences:

• lack (or incorrect implementation) of instrument disinfection;
• operation errors;
• ignoring contraindications.

The frequency of facial treatment using a cosmetic spoon depends on skin type:

• for normal – once every 7 days;
• for oily people – up to 2 times a week.

Please note that this instrument is not suitable for use on skin with unhealed lesions or vascular diseases. Also, a cosmetic spoon is not used to treat the face of people with sensitive and dry skin. How to use the tool depends on the problem that needs to be solved. Sometimes both attachments are needed for work, in other cases only one of them is needed.

The Uno spoon allows you to clean targeted areas and is not intended for treating the entire face.

Strainer attachment

This side of the tool is designed to cleanse the cheeks, forehead, sides of the nose and chin. Rules of application include the following steps:

1. Steam the skin using warm water. This is necessary for the pores to open.
2. Take Uno in your hand.
3. Use light movements, reminiscent of shading, to walk through problem areas, changing the direction of movement.
4. Wipe the skin with an antiseptic.
5. Wipe your face with lotion to tighten pores.

Depending on the treatment area, the direction of movement of the nozzle changes:

1. Nose. From neck to back.
2. Forehead. From the eyebrows vertically upward.
3. Cheeks. From ear to nose.
4. Chin. Up to the lips.

As the tool becomes dirty during processing, it needs to be cleaned.

Nozzle with 1 hole

On the opposite side of the handle there is an attachment shaped like a small spoon. It has one hole in the center. This side is used to remove individual pimples and polish the surface of the skin.

How to use the tool:

1. Steam the skin.
2. Place the spoon on the skin at an angle so that the pimple is in the hole of the nozzle.
3. Applying slight pressure on the device, it is moved so that the contents of the pimple are squeezed out and immediately fall into the tool’s spoon.
4. Clean the nozzle.
5. Move to the next pimple.
6. After finishing work, wipe the skin with an antiseptic.
7. Treat your face with lotion that tightens pores.

If you have a very large number of blackheads and pimples, you won’t be able to do it with just a spoon – a mandatory consultation with a professional cosmetologist is necessary.

Where to buy a tool and how to choose it

The Uno spoon has recently gained great popularity, so it is not difficult to purchase it in pharmacies in large cities, in Moscow, St. Petersburg and others. In addition, the tool can be ordered in the online store.

When purchasing from a pharmacy, it is advisable to inspect the product for damage. All surfaces must be smooth and neat, without defects. Spoons are produced by such well-known companies as Olton, Staleks, Zinger and others.

The original Uno must have a certificate of conformity. To learn better how to use a Uno spoon at home, you can watch various videos.

Reviews

“I learned about the Uno spoon from a classmate. The first pharmacy I came across didn’t have it, but I was persistent and was able to find a tool for facial beauty. My spoon from Stalex. My purchase cost about 500 rubles 3 years ago. The length is convenient - 13 cm, the shape is compact, the handle has a grooved surface, which is comfortable to hold. The device turned out to be very convenient. As the owner of oily skin, I don’t get by with just a cleansing spoon; I use lotions at the same time, make masks with clay and control the quality of the cosmetics I use.”

Marina, Moscow

“I bought my spoon for the occasion, and for some time it just sat idle. But, having tried it once, I appreciated all its advantages. And I recommend it to those who have acne - frequent guests on their faces. At first I was uncomfortable using Uno, but I quickly got used to it. And now the whole procedure (including steaming) takes me no more than a quarter of an hour.”

Kira, Novorossiysk

Regular treatment of problem skin will improve its condition, give it smoothness and a healthy appearance. When used correctly, the Uno spoon can replace expensive procedures and reduce the number of visits to the cosmetologist.
