How to do deep facial peeling at home

Healthy, well-groomed skin adds attractiveness to both men and women. This is especially true for the face. Of course, first of all, the question of appearance is of interest to representatives of the fairer sex. But for those men who care about their health and practice general cleansing of the body, it will also be useful to apply several simple techniques for deep cleansing the facial skin available at home.

The skin on the face is more susceptible to adverse factors than on other parts of the body. Frost, wind, dry air, dust - all this weakens the activity of the glands and deteriorates the quality of the epithelial layer. There are many skin pores on the face through which the protective fat layer and sweat are released. Under unfavorable conditions, the pores become clogged with sebum, normal metabolism in the epithelium is disrupted, and waste and toxins accumulate in the skin. To restore a radiant appearance to the face and make the glands function well, a deep facial cleansing is performed, which can be done at home.

How to cleanse your face at home

The face will be healthy and beautiful if the deep cleaning procedure is carried out correctly. You should take into account age, skin type, its condition at the time of the procedure and even the time of year. Accordingly, you need to use different means. If you carry out the procedure in compliance with all requirements and recommendations, the quality of home cleaning will not be inferior to the procedure carried out in the salon.

When is it carried out?

At home, deep mechanical cleaning is done if there are no serious skin problems. Oily, combination skin, with rashes and clogged pores are best cleaned at a salon.

In order not to cause harm, you should not overuse and cleanse more often than recommended by cosmetologists. The frequency is determined by your skin type:

• for dry type – no more than once a month and with caution;
• for fatty type – no more than once every 7–10 days;

Cosmetologists advise deep facial cleansing more often in the summer than in the winter.

It is better to carry out the procedure in a calm atmosphere in the evening and with strictly clean hands.

What methods are used

There are different cleaning methods available at home:

• manual (mechanical);
• with cleansing and exfoliating masks;
• cleaning using vacuum and ultrasound using hardware methods.

Basic rules for carrying out cleansing procedures

Various home techniques aimed at deep cleansing the skin of the face are quite simple. But in order to achieve the desired result, you must follow the following rules when performing cosmetic procedures:

1. Before the procedure, you must wash your hands thoroughly so as not to introduce new infections into enlarged pores;
2. all activities are performed only on prepared, cleansed skin;

Mechanical cleaning at home

Deep facial cleansing at home requires preliminary preparation.

The skin is cleansed with lotion, tonic, milk or gel. Then, to better open the pores, the face is steamed over a bowl of hot water for 5–15 minutes.

If you have heart or respiratory problems, use a hot compress.

The effectiveness of steam baths can be increased by adding essential oils or herbs:

• For dry and normal skin use lemon balm, mint, lavender, wormwood, black currant and raspberry leaves.
• For oily skin, use steam baths with plantain, chamomile, nettle, eucalyptus and coltsfoot.

The plants must be poured with hot water and left for 1 hour, then brought to a boil over low heat. Steaming the face is carried out over hot steam, covered with a towel.

If the degree of skin contamination is small, then a steam procedure may be enough to cleanse the pores.

After a good steaming and opening of the pores, the skin is disinfected with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Then, by wiping the fingertips with alcohol, without injuring the skin, all blackheads (comedons) are removed. After this, wipe with tonic.

If you do salt peeling after steaming your face, the effectiveness of cleansing will increase. Simply treat your face with a mixture of equal parts fine salt and shaving cream.

Finish the cleansing by disinfecting with an alcohol-containing tonic, closing the pores using tightening masks and applying a moisturizer.

Steam - instead of a cosmetologist

Hardware methods available at home

Vacuum facial cleansing can be done if the skin is not very dry, there is no significant contamination and there are no blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. At home, as in the salon, it is carried out quickly and safely. Negative pressure at the tip of the device pulls out all impurities from the pores, while simultaneously providing a massage and lymphatic drainage effect. Vacuum cleaning is especially effective for aging skin.

Then it is cleaned of plugs and excess fat using manual instruments, sometimes in combination with hardware methods. Afterwards the skin calms down and it’s time to close. The result is a fresh and healthy look, even tone and beautiful color.

Why is it important to cleanse your pores regularly?

Pores are ducts of the sebaceous glands located on the skin surface. They are necessary for removing sweat, toxins and metabolic products. The process of moderate sebum production softens, protects and nourishes the epidermis. However, with excessive oil secretion, the skin pores become clogged, and dirt, dust, and dead cells along with lipids accumulate in them. This process is accompanied by expansion and enlargement of pores, which become an excellent target for all kinds of bacteria and microorganisms that easily penetrate the nutrient medium and cause the development of acne.

Cleaning the pores of the epidermis is necessary for:

• normalization of all metabolic processes in the skin;
• optimal saturation of cells with oxygen, moisture, nutrients;
• their reduction and narrowing;
• stabilization of sebum production;
• improving the color and quality of the entire skin;
• preventing the proliferation of microorganisms that cause inflammation;
• activation of the production of collagen and elastin, which increase the density and elasticity of skin tissue;
• increasing local immunity and level of protection;
• improve blood circulation.
