"The absence of purification is primarily fraught with premature aging of the skin," says Olga Petraschuk, to. B. N., teacher of Megaspa. - Pores are clogged, expand and function worse, the skin becomes an unsightly look. Black dots may appear, some inflammatory elements, acne, which leads to a further deterioration in the condition of the skin. Moreover, competent cleansing is necessary for treatments associated with care. After all, all cosmetics for the person you use should be applied to clean skin in order to better penetrate and efficiently work. If the skin is contaminated, the penetration of caring cosmetics is much lower, its effectiveness falls sharply. At the same time, the risk of different, often unpredictable reactions, for example, on creams and serum, as the latter contain active ingredients that can react with foreign elements present on the skin ".
It is important to understand that daily cleansing is not only the guarantee of beauty and health of your skin, but also an objective need. However, even such a simple hygienic procedure should be done in all the rules.
"It is believed that cleaning the skin you need twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. At the end of the day, the face is cleared of what has accumulated per day, and in the morning - from household dust and those particles that fall on the skin while a person sleeps. Do not think that while sleeping face remains clean. Pillows, blankets, even a night shirt - all this becomes a source of bacteria. No need to forget that our skin is constantly working (it produces sweat, it allocates skin fat), which cannot but affect its condition. Therefore, all professional brands are recommended not to neglect the morning purification of the face. Another general recommendation is the use of special funds. First of all, in order to clean the surface of the skin from pollution, but also decorative cosmetics, of course, in the evening it is necessary to delete. The cleansing procedure itself consists of several stages. First, you should apply a small amount of the selected agent on the face so that after use it can be seen on the surface of the skin. However, it is not necessary to eat, usually 2 ml of the drug is enough for one washness. Then the wet hand should be obscured by all the face with light circular movements, making the focus on the fatty T-zone and other problem areas of the skin. Then be sure to thoroughly rinse the remedy with water and gently dry the skin, applying either a towel or cosmetic napkins. Important moment - a person should be wrapped, but in no case rub. At the end of purification, it is necessary to apply a tonic that moisturizes and tones face. This final stage of the procedure is extremely important, because water-water water in large cities is not the best quality and can dry the skin. "
Typical errors
The key moment of any care is a properly selected means. This statement can be equally attributed to the process of purification. It is extremely important that the tool you decide to use was high-quality and suited to the skin type. The last condition is necessarily, because modern cleansing agents are focused not only on the hygienic component, but also to solve specific problems associated with the peculiarities of one or another type. But how to determine it correctly?
"Few people know that about 75-80% of people, that is, most of the population, have combined skin, - emphasizes Olga Petraschuk. - It is distinguished by a pronounced T-zone - forehead, nose and chin with elevated fatness, in this area, a shine can appear during the day. At the same time, at all other areas of the skin, the sebaceous glands operate in normal mode. However, often people with combination skin are in confidence that they have fat. And the reason for this confidence can be anything - since the statements of girlfriends and ending with the Council of the Illiterate Consultant in the Cosmetics Store. Or dry skin. By nature, it is thin, prone to peeling, because it has a minimum of sebaceous glands. But many perceive this tendency to irritating as a clear sign that their skin is sensitive.
In general, the proportion of truth is present in this, because dry and sensitive skin is very close to each other. Nevertheless, from all points of view, it is better to determine their skin type correctly. First of all, in order to choose an adequate care system. "
The most important component of any cleansing agent for dry skin is soothing and moisturizing components. Moreover, if for normal and combined skin, these components are a pleasant bonus, then for dry - vital necessity.
"The main feature of dry skin is the minimum number of sebaceous glands. It is much thinner than the skin of other types, more susceptible to peeling and irritation, and most importantly - in dire need of additional nutrition and moisture. And of course, you should not forget that dry skin is much earlier than any other. This is due to the fact that any inflammatory process in such a skin is accompanied by an additional emission of free radicals, which inevitably leads to its premature fading, "says Olga Petraschuk. - For the skin of this type, I would recommend cleaning milk with a cream texture Vital C from Image Skincare.
This tool provides not only mild cleansing, but also restoration, feeds the skin, and also contains antioxidants and a unique ingredient - super-oxiddismutase, the so-called trap of free radicals. The mile, which is part of the milk, delicately soothes dry skin and reduces the discharge during the cleansing process itself. Well, and vitamins, A and C contribute to its regeneration. We emphasize that this means is indispensable for smokers, since in addition to the foregoing, it improves the structure and tone of the skin. "
Note: Dry skin constantly needs additional nutrition and moisture. Therefore, immediately after the procedure of purification, it is necessary to apply a tonic, and after a while - cream for daily care. In addition, the owners of dry skin cannot be used to use the means intended for fat. Because the goal of any such drug is degreasing, and this is a kind of drying, so such a means will only aggravate
All problems of dry skin.
This is the most problematic skin, it is most often the cause of appeal to the beautician. The main disadvantages: increased salo-waste, tendency to inflammatory processes or even skin disease - acne to varying degrees.
"In this case, it is necessary to use the means dissolving excess fat and regulating salo waste," advises Olga Petraschuk. - In addition, oily skin is often sensitive and irritated. That is why the composition of the skin for this type often includes soothing additives and special substances that are well cleaning the pores and remove fat. For example, cleansing salicylic gel and discs with antibacterial effect Clear Cell from Image Skincare. They contain essential oil of tea tree and salicylic acid, which is an antiseptic and has good exfoliating properties, that is, removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. This is important, since in oily skin, this process may violate or slow down. The gel also smoothes the skin surface, softens it and eliminates the bold glitter. There are soothing additives - Arnik, horse chestnut. And moisturizing components are actively used in disks, it allows not to use the tonic. Disks are a more versatile agent. They are impregnated with salicyl and glycolic acids, effectively remove excess skin fat, pores and follicles are deeply cleaned, making skin clean and fresh. A complex of antioxidants and soothing substances reduces inflammation at acne. Disks are very convenient for use in conditions where there is no way to clean the skin well. They are optimal during long journeys, after any physical exertion and in case of increasing hair. Unconditional plus discs - they simultaneously soothe and moisturize. I note that the integrated use along with the Clear Cell gel is optional, however, it can be additionally cleaned overly oily skin throughout the day. In addition, discs are indispensable for adolescents - as the prevention of the first manifestations of acne. "
By its properties, the sensitive skin is very close to dry. But there is one significant difference - it is more reactive and is often characterized by the appearance of a visible vascular mesh. Such a skin requires the most sparing remedy rich in soothing components.
"An ideal option for sensitive skin will be cleansing gel with Aloe Ormedic from Image Skincare, the main task of which is to remove redness and calm the skin. To strengthen the vessels and improve blood circulation, Arnica and horse chestnut extracts are included in the gel, and the calendula extract in the remedy soothes sensitive skin. In addition, this cleansing gel contains polysaccharide-surfactant - natural foaming agent, which due to its ecology and softness is great for sensitive skin. Another find is an extract of the German chamomile. It is clinically proven that it has an anti-inflammatory effect under eczema and irritation, "says Olga Petraschuk.
People with normal skin less than their units. It is recommended to use universal funds that do not solve any problems, but provide care. "In this case, deep cleansing is not required, the main thing is the quality of the cosmetics itself, - emphasizes Olga Petraschuk. - An excellent option - Cleansing the MAX gel from Image Skincare (USA). This mild cleansing agent for daily use does not contain acids, sulfates and parabens. And vegetable stem cells and phytoextracts, which include its composition, nourish the skin, protect it from environmental pollution and even increase the viability of cells. It also contains grains of oats, which have an anti-inflammatory effect, calm the skin and remove redness.
Combined skin, which is characterized by a problem T-zone, contrary to the problem also does not need deep purification. For this type of leather, the head of the pH level is becoming normalizing and the softness of the selected agent, which would not have damaged and did not irritate the upper layer of the epidermis. I would advise the Cleansing gel ana Ageless from Image Skincare. It perfectly cleans the skin, removes makeup and excessive fat, normalizes the level of pH of the skin and does not require the use of tonic. The soft mixture of glycolic acid in this means contributes to exfoliation and smoothing the skin, improves its texture, menthol has a refreshing effect, and green tea acts as an antioxidant. In addition, the drug does not contain parabens. Another important point - as a foaming agent in the gel, ammonium laureethsulfate, which does not irritate the skin like a sodium lauryl sulfate present in most analogues "is used.
