Facial cleansing at Metz Cosmetologist and Me

Facial cleansing is a necessary procedure for any skin type and age, providing deep cleansing of pores and normalization of epidermal cells. There are no seasonal restrictions. The facial skin cleansing procedure can be carried out as a completely independent procedure, or as an excellent preparation of the skin for subsequent care programs, including hardware ones.

For example, facial cleansing and aqua-peeling (gas-liquid peeling) followed by barophoresis with Cleopine peptide serum combine very well. You will get not only clear skin, but also a powerful WOW rejuvenation effect. Read more about the rejuvenation procedure without injections here »

Indications for the procedure

Manual facial cleansing involves removing dead skin particles and the contents of clogged pores using your hands or a special loop-shaped instrument called an Una spoon. The procedure is successfully used to treat any skin type. Especially good results can be achieved for women with a porous and inflammation-prone face.

Manual cleaning removes hard white pimples (milia), blackheads (comedones), blackheads, and boils. The pores are cleansed of accumulated dirt, particles of epidermis, and cosmetics. Girls with dry skin are recommended to undergo this procedure on average once every 3-4 months. For those with acne-prone skin, cleansing is done once every 1-1.5 months.

This procedure is prescribed in the first half of the menstrual cycle. This is associated with unpleasant sensations. At the beginning of the cycle, the female body releases a large amount of the hormone estrogen, and the procedure is much easier to tolerate.

How does facial cleansing work in our salon?

Stage 1 of the procedure. Any cosmetic procedure begins with makeup removal and cleansing of the skin to remove impurities, degrease and prepare for subsequent stages. At this stage we use soft foam with the Mild Facial Wash moisturizing multicomplex from Pleyana.

Mild Facial Wash by Pleyana is recommended for use after comprehensive facial cleansing as a cosmetic for home skin care.

Stage 2 of the facial cleansing procedure – light superficial peeling. We use gommage for delicate cleansing or an enzyme peeling mask for superficial peeling. The action of these procedures is aimed at smoothing the skin texture, stimulating the renewal of epidermal cells, and preparing the skin for subsequent cleaning of the pores on the face.

Stage 3 – cold steaming. Facial cleansing by a cosmetologist turns out to be of higher quality, due to better opening of the skin pores. Therefore, in the 3rd stage, after the enzyme peeling mask, we apply hydrogel with aloe vera under the film to open the pores and wait 20 minutes.

Informative:

Previously, immediately before cleansing the skin, a vaporizer was used to soften sebaceous plugs. In modern cosmetology, special cold steaming gels are used, applied using the application method.

Stage 4 – effective ultrasonic facial cleansing with a scrub. It is carried out as usual ultrasonic cleansing of facial skin. The operating principle of the device for ultrasonic skin cleansing is simple. We pass a spatula over the prepared skin, and ultrasonic waves remove impurities, the keratinized layer of epidermal cells and partially comedones (blackheads).

Stage 5 – mechanical facial cleansing. At this stage, the cosmetologist removes deeper comedones (blackheads) with a UNO spoon and manually, carefully working all areas of the facial surface to thoroughly cleanse the pores of the facial skin.

Stage 6 – glycolic peeling for rejuvenation due to the effect on collagen and elastin fibers. This gives a good lifting effect. The concentration of glycolic acid is 10% - this avoids peeling of the skin after peeling. Apply for 10 minutes and wash off.

The next, stage 7 is a cleansing mask with French clays (white and green). It acts as a gentle peeling and gives the skin a special silkiness and softness. Combines the disinfecting properties of salicylic acid, phytoextracts, white and green clays, which absorb oily skin secretions. Wash off the peeling mask after 5 minutes.

The 8th stage of our comprehensive facial cleansing in the salon by a cosmetologist includes an alginate mask for skin problems. The effects and directions of use of alginate masks are very different. In this video, a dermatocosmetologist used an alginate plasticizing lifting mask with chlorophyll.

On a note:

After each stage of skin toning, the skin is toned with a special phytobiotonic, which completes each stage of cleansing, gives tone, and restores the natural level of skin hydration.

At the 9th stage, cosmetic facial cleansing ends with the application of a light, non-greasy protective cream with SPF factor 30 or 40. It provides safe and optimal protection against UVA, UVB rays and photoaging, prevention of age spots and cell regeneration.

How to do mechanical cleaning in a salon

Mechanical cleaning in the cabin is carried out as follows. It consists of three stages.

Skin preparation

This stage has two purposes.

Cleansing the skin of everything that can complicate the removal of comedones: impurities, sebum, dead cells. For these purposes, gommages, masks with enzymes, peelings with a small amount of acids or a mild abrasive are used - depending on the cosmetics that the salon or clinic works with.

Opening of pores - for this, either a vaporizer is used (steaming the skin using steam), or special lotions and masks with a thermal effect.

Cleaning

The cleaning process involves squeezing out comedones with fingers wrapped in sterile napkins, sometimes using special tools (metal spoons, loops, needles). The procedure is not the most pleasant, but there is no escape - you have to endure it. If the skin has been prepared correctly and the cosmetologist knows his business, the procedure will be faster and less painful.

If you think that squeezing acne and pimples is not a great science, you are mistaken. In fact, this is a virtuoso technique that requires special skills, practice and simply, as they say, “good hands.” Therefore, finding a facial cleansing specialist is considered a great success. So please don't pop your pimples yourself. If you have pustules, you can spread inflammation all over your face and are guaranteed to leave a red spot.

Aftercare

The most enjoyable part of the procedure begins when all the torment is over - the skin is cared for with the help of soothing masks and massage that improves blood circulation.

Skin care after cleansing

After cleansing your face, you may experience slight redness. This is normal. After completing the procedure, the cosmetologist will give recommendations on home care with medicinal cosmetics for skin problems.

It is important!

Follow all recommendations of a cosmetologist for post-procedure facial skin care after cleansing the pores.

After cleaning the pores of your facial skin, you should not:

1. use foundation for 2 days;
2. scratch and touch the skin of the face with your hands;
3. Press and dig out something independently;

The process of mechanical facial cleansing by a cosmetologist

Mechanical cleansing begins with removing makeup and opening the pores. A specialist removes makeup with a cosmetic product; if the skin is very dirty, an additional face mask is used. To open the pores, vaporization is used, it loosens the stratum corneum of the skin.

The skin is then exposed to warm, damp steam to completely open the pores.

Then, after treating the skin areas with lotion, the cosmetologist begins the cleansing process. Using a special strainer and spoon, fat deposits, all blackheads and dead cells are removed.

If using tools it is impossible to remove the sebaceous secretion from the pores, then the specialist begins to do it manually. But this process is quite painful. The doctor wraps a clean napkin around his fingers and, using squeezing movements, forces the impurities to come out.

It is important to cleanse before the pores close. Within 20 minutes the skin cools down and the pores close. In this case, cleaning becomes painful. That is why in case of multiple inflammations it is necessary to carry out cleaning in several stages.

In the most serious cases, vacuum facial cleansing is additionally performed. Even hard-to-reach places are cleaned under the influence of vacuum.

After the procedure, the skin is soothed and disinfected using special tonics and lotions. Sometimes an infrared lamp, darsonvalization, cryomassage are used.

As a result of mechanical cleansing, the skin breathes, its pores are less noticeable, the color is evened out, and comedones and pimples disappear. Remember, after cleaning it is forbidden to wash your face with water for 12 hours; it is better to use lotion. You cannot be in the sun, go to the solarium, or swim.

What is manual facial cleansing? What is manual (manual) facial cleansing

Manual facial cleansing is one of the most effective and affordable methods of dealing with problem skin. This procedure is carried out in beauty salons by experienced cosmetologists and compares favorably with self-treatment of acne at home. Below we will take a closer look at this technique and talk about all the nuances associated with cleaning.

Indications for the procedure

Manual facial cleansing involves removing dead skin particles and the contents of clogged pores using your hands or a special loop-shaped instrument called an Una spoon. The procedure is successfully used to treat any skin type. Especially good results can be achieved for women with a porous and inflammation-prone face.

Manual cleaning removes hard white pimples (milia), blackheads (comedones), blackheads, and boils. The pores are cleansed of accumulated dirt, particles of epidermis, and cosmetics. Girls with dry skin are recommended to undergo this procedure on average once every 3-4 months. For those with acne-prone skin, cleansing is done once every 1-1.5 months.

This procedure is prescribed in the first half of the menstrual cycle. This is associated with unpleasant sensations. At the beginning of the cycle, the female body releases a large amount of the hormone estrogen, and the procedure is much easier to tolerate.

Progress of the procedure

After examination and consultation with a cosmetologist, the master proceeds directly to the procedure. First of all, the skin is thoroughly cleansed of cosmetic residues and external impurities. For this purpose, lotions, foams and deep cleaning gels are used. At the next stage, the skin needs to be warmed up to open the pores as much as possible.

To do this, steam the face with a vaporizer or apply a warming cream. It is important to choose a truly professional cosmetologist, because he has 20 minutes to treat all areas. After this, the pores begin to close, and the process of removing acne becomes more painful and dangerous.

When all areas of the face are cleansed, a mask is applied to the face. The composition is determined by the master, taking into account your individual problems and requests. These can be vitamin, anti-inflammatory, softening or narrowing masks. After manual cleaning, the skin absorbs nutrients well. Often at the end of the procedure a massage with liquid nitrogen is performed. It allows you to narrow pores, accelerate the regeneration process and improve local blood circulation.

Manual facial cleansing takes about one and a half hours. The cosmetologist works wearing special gloves or covering his fingertips with sterile napkins. If the master uses Una's spoon, make sure that it has been well sterilized from previous clients. After completing all the manipulations, it is advisable not to leave the salon for about another 30 minutes so that the pores are sufficiently narrowed and do not become clogged with dust from the street again.

The recovery period after manual cleaning lasts several days. In the first 1-2 days, redness remains on the skin. During this period, you cannot sunbathe, visit the sauna or swim. The first wash is allowed 12 hours after the session.

Contraindications and possible consequences

Manual cleaning, like any other cosmetic procedure, has its contraindications. There are not many of them, but negligence can lead to undesirable consequences. Cleaning is prohibited when:

• feverish conditions;
• high blood pressure;
• inflammatory processes on the skin of a viral, fungal or bacterial nature;
• rosacea;
• demodicosis.

Pregnant women and girls during menstruation will have to postpone the procedure, since cleaning can be quite painful. Despite all the advantages, cleaning is quite damaging to the skin, so there is a high risk of infection. To prevent the situation from getting worse, choose professional technicians with extensive experience and follow all recommendations.

I learned what manual cleaning is relatively recently from reviews; until now, I always cleaned my pores myself at home. At first it was a little awkward, because it was unusual for a stranger to deal with acne. But after a few minutes the fear and discomfort passed. I was pleased with the result. The master had a light hand. The redness disappeared literally on the second day.

Alexandra

I’ll say right away that the outcome of a manual reading directly depends on the qualifications of the cosmetologist. I have always done this procedure in one center. The effect was good and there were no consequences. Then I accidentally fell into the hands of another specialist and the redness lasted for more than three days, I already began to worry that I had an infection, but everything turned out okay.

Arina

I have been struggling with acne since I was 14 years old. When I first decided to turn to professionals, the choice lay between ultrasonic and manual cleaning. Based on reviews, I chose manual. I liked the result. This is very convenient, since the master carefully treats all areas of the face. After two sessions, the skin became more matte and smooth.

Olga

20 years old, Voronezh

I don’t really like to trust my face to strangers, but from my friends’ reviews I realized that manual cleaning is a lifesaver for a girl with acne. A truly effective method of fighting acne. The main thing is not to plan any important events in the first 2 days, since slight redness remains, and it is undesirable to use cosmetics.

Facial cleansing is just one step towards perfect skin. To ensure that the result lasts long and is noticeable, do not forget to use moisturizing creams, do peelings once a week and remember the impact of external factors on the condition of the skin.

Description

The process of manual facial cleansing

includes a number of procedures depending on the type of cleaning.
During mechanical cleaning,
procedures are performed with fingers wrapped in sterile napkins. Special blades can be used as an auxiliary tool.

At the first stage of manual cleaning

carry out make-up removal. After the makeup is removed, the skin is toned. The next step is to use a scrub to remove dead skin particles. Then, as a rule, vaporization is carried out. As an option, you can use a pore-opening lotion (masks are used less often). Then the skin is cleaned manually. During this process, the secretions stuck there are removed from the pores by hand (using an una spoon or a special Vidal needle). The cleaning procedure should be as quick as possible and not exceed 15-20 minutes. If the pore cleansing procedure takes longer, the pores cool down, close, and cleansing becomes quite painful. After the pores have been manually cleansed, a pigment tightening mask is applied to the facial skin with a spatula or hands. In some cases, a cosmetologist may use an antibacterial or soothing mask. After the mask is removed, a cream is applied to the skin, which is specially selected taking into account the skin type.

The cosmetologist, with light stroking movements, removes fat deposits and horny scales and frees the pores of sebum and impurities. This method of cleansing is problematic if the pores are naturally very tight: this can lead to stretching of the skin, enlargement and inflammation of the pores.

You cannot do without a manual method only when you need to deal with milia (subcutaneous wen). For manual cleaning, an acne squeezer (Unna spoon) can be used.
