How to clean your face at home

Facial cleansing is the most common cosmetic procedure in the living conditions of a modern metropolis. What is facial cleansing for? It’s very simple.

Every day girls apply “tons” of cosmetics on their face, thereby clogging the pores. And most skin-related procedures are much better perceived by cleansed skin. The facial cleansing procedure is done in order to save our pores from the secretion of sebaceous glands, sebaceous plugs and the like.

Even now you can meet a happy owner of clean skin, who will claim that she does not need facial cleansing at any time. You may be satisfied with the condition of your skin, but for prevention it should be cleaned, since it is unlikely that your foam for washing or the same gel will be able to get into the deep subcutaneous layers. In order to prevent it, it is worth making an appointment with a cosmetologist, since the T-zone accumulates a certain number of elements that should be disposed of.

Basic rules of facial cleansing at home

If you are afraid to entrust your face to a professional and decide to clean your face yourself, you need to follow a few golden rules:

1. Any facial cleansing techniques should be carried out exclusively on a clean surface of the face and, of course, with clean hands, so as not to introduce any infection (hands should be disinfected or gloves should be worn).
2. The facial cleansing procedure is contraindicated for those girls on their faces who have immature pimples, inflamed wounds, noticeable skin diseases. In this case, the facial cleansing procedure can lead to deplorable consequences.
3. If acne has settled on the face, then in no case should you crush them. It is better to wait until they are fully ripe, wiping the acne with tea tree oil or salicylic alcohol. This will help you avoid the inflammatory process.

Stages of facial cleansing at home

Let’s look at the main stages in more detail.

Skin cleansing

Before starting the cleaning procedure, you need to prepare your skin. To do this, use cleansers, wash off cosmetics or its remnants, wipe the skin with a tonic. After that, be sure to scrub your face, achieving the effect of deep removal of cosmetics and cleansing effect. Rub the skin again with a cotton pad with a tonic or milk.

Water bath or steaming.

The main point in the process of deep cleansing of the face is steaming. The better you steam the skin, the better cleaning will help to get rid of dirt in the future. It is recommended to devote more time and concentration to this process.

For steaming, you will need 2-3 liters boiled water. If you want, you can add various infusions of medicinal herbs or oils to the water.

Herbs will help reduce the inflammatory process and, alternatively, soothe your skin. Next, you need to bend over the container with water so that the steam falls directly on your face. In any case, do not lean close over boiling water – you risk getting a slight burn.

Cover with a towel so that the steam does not go beyond your face and a cold stream of air does not penetrate there. Try to “warm up” your face as much as possible. On average, it takes 20-30 minutes, then the pores will open as much as possible.

If you clean your face on insufficiently opened pores, the effect will be insignificant and all your efforts will go down the drain. Remember that during the steaming process, you should feel a pleasant warmth from the evaporation of water and in no case a hot air flow.

Mechanical facial cleanliness

Now you can safely start cleaning the contaminated skin. There are two known ways. The first is pressing on the black dots with your fingers (before that, you should treat your hands with hydrogen peroxide or any other antiseptic). This method is no longer relevant, since the steamed skin is quite slippery and the fingers constantly jump off, especially in this way you can replenish the skin tissues even more.

The second way is getting rid of all the “subcutaneous evil spirits” with a spoon of UNO, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. In this case, it is worth treating both the spoon itself and the hands with an antiseptic. With smooth and neat movements, swipe the tool over the problem areas of the skin, and you will see for yourself how all the dirt remains on the spoon. Do not press too hard, do not injure your skin even more. After the procedure, wipe your face with antiseptic cream or, alternatively, calendula tincture.

Healing Mask

Immediately after cleansing the face at home, apply some medicinal composition to the problem areas. It can be a soothing face mask. At your discretion, use a cosmetic mask or make it yourself from medicinal herbs. Leave the mask on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse your face thoroughly with water.

The final stage of the massage

After ridding the skin of the defending masks, cover the face with a nourishing cream. Rub the cream with massaging movements in a circle, along the lines of the face. Then, with pressing movements, walk over all areas of the face and complete the massage stage with a light soothing stroking.

Learn one golden rule! At any stage of the five above, you should not experience painful sensations. Carefully select cosmetic formulations and therapeutic components for yourself. Be sure of them at all 100%. Pamper Selya with a facial cleansing procedure on a regular basis, but at least once a month. Then you will see the result: your skin will shine with beauty and health.
