Mechanical and chemical face cleansing

Facial cleansing - various procedures that are associated with the removal of skin inflammation, acne, pimples and other minor troubles.

Exfoliating is an essential part of good skin care. Mechanical cleaning will help your skin look its best. Mechanical cleansing removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, revealing a new fresh layer of surface cells. There are two different types of exfoliation: chemical and mechanical.

How does mechanical exfoliation work?

So mechanical face cleansing gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin through movement rather than through the use of chemicals (such as acids). "The mechanical effect is to physically cut or weaken skin cells," says Garnier's consultant dermatologist Dr. Diane Madfes. "Examples include microdermabrasion, salt or sugar scrubs, and charcoal cleansing wipes."

Should you use mechanical exfoliation in your daily skincare routine?

There are many ingredients found in exfoliating products. These ingredients range from coarse sugar, sand and crystals to fine grain rice and oatmeal. If your skin is very sensitive, you should avoid coarser texture because this type of skin can cause negative reactions. Choose instead mechanical cleansing of the face SPb - A gentle scrub or exfoliating cleanser specially formulated for sensitive skin.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning has a number of additional advantages over other methods of care: it does not subject the skin to squeezing and stretching, does not violate its upper layer (when using ultrasound, mechanical cleaning of the face, which injures the skin, does not required).

As a result of ultrasonic cleaning, the following occurs:

• smoothing wrinkles;
• anti-aging skin massage at the cellular level;
• elimination of edema;

A fresh complexion and "breathable" skin appears. The skin becomes smooth and soft. Active moisturizing of the skin helps to get rid of dry skin. Ultrasonic face cleansing is effective for acne (blackheads) and acne.

Mechanical cleaning. Disincrustation - by current on the skin

A special alkaline solution (desincrustant) is preliminarily applied to the face. Electrodes are brought to the skin. Under the influence of a weak electric tone, the solution penetrates the pores and dissolves the sebum. The fatty acids that make up the secretion are saponified and appear on the surface of the skin.

The method is absolutely painless and highly effective. The procedure is completed by closing the pores - the face is treated with an antiseptic lotion and a nourishing mask is applied to it.

Pros: easy to carry, suitable for all skin types (including sensitive).
Cons: Cannot be used during pregnancy.
