So that our skin always looks perfect, we need to look after it. The skin of the face requires special care, as it is more tender and prone to various problems: rashes, dirt, inflammations and so on. In the care of the skin, purification takes the first place. But even daily cleaning at home can not completely cope with greasy stoppers, black dots and keratinized cells. To do this, there is a mechanical cleansing of the face - a procedure that deeply cleans contaminated pores.
Today, there are many ways to clean the face: using hands, special apparatus or tools. Also, in recent times, chemical peeling of the face is very popular. However, the most effective and common method of skin cleansing is mechanical cleaning. She is able to cope with the most complex problems: greasy stoppers, comedones and acne.
Features of a mechanical face cleaning
During mechanical cleaning of the face a special tool is used - a double-sided metal spoon. At one end of this spoon there are several openings that resemble a sieve, and on the other a funnel with an opening in the recess itself. The first side is used to clean the upper stratum corneum and the fat, and the second to remove sebaceous plugs, blackheads and single contaminants.
Mechanical cleaning should be carried out by a cosmetologist with experience, a doctor or a nurse. The procedure itself is long and traumatic, therefore it is necessary to monitor the sterility so as not to infect the infection. The cosmetologist should do everything in gloves, and the place of each removal should be immediately wiped with a disinfectant or alcohol.
Typically, mechanical cleaning of the face is an independent procedure, but sometimes it is combined with ultrasonic or chemical cleaning, as well as with various hardware. This is done in cases where the skin is a problem, and the pores are highly contaminated. Mechanical cleaning is carried out not only on the face, but in the area of the back, neck, shoulders and décolleté. This cleaning is recommended if there are such problems:
contaminated and dilated pores;

uneven or dull complexion.
Description of the procedure
Mechanical cleaning is carried out in cosmetology salons. Usually in a special office. The client is located on the couch, and a lamp is sent to the person who lights the workplace well. Good cleaning consists of several stages:
1. Skin preparation. The skin is cleaned from make-up or other surface contaminants. Typically, for this use lotions ortonics.

3. Mechanical cleaning. When the skin is steamed, and pore-enough opened, the master sees all the problem areas. Therefore, he immediately proceeds to cleanse his face. Cleaning also consists of several stages.
Working with a sieve
The master starts working with that side of a metal tool that resembles a sieve. This part allows you to get rid of the attack and excess fat on the skin, and also exfoliates the dead skin cells. If there are infected areas on the face, they can not be touched with a strainer. When cleaning, the skin is held with fingers so that it does not stretch. As the contamination, the skin is cleaned with a special solution.
Working funnel
After the skin is cleaned with a strainer, the cosmetologist proceeds to remove all sebaceous plugs, black spots, blackheads and the like. For this, a funnel is used. After each single removal of contamination, this area is disinfected with alcohol.
4. Skin disinfection. When all visible contaminants are removed, the facial skin is wiped with special tinctures or alcohol. Sometimes used tincture of calendula or boric (salicylic) alcohol. If necessary, the skin will be treated even with liquid nitrogen. Thanks to this skin will not become inflamed.
5. Calming the skin. When the skin dries, a special mask is applied to the face, which tightens the pores and soothes the skin. It also reduces redness, swelling, swelling and prevents inflammation. Maskusderat on the skin for about 20 minutes. During this time, the pores are closed, so that they can not be re-contaminated.
6. Moisturizing the skin. When the mask is washed off, the skin becomes a little strapped. To get rid of this, a moisturizer is applied. In no case can not use too greasy cream so that the pores are not clogged. If the skin is very dry, then after the tightening mask it is possible to apply another moisturizer.
7. Massage of the skin. Sometimes beauticians after cleansing face this procedure. Massage can be different: lymph drainage, plucked, classic or modeling. Thanks to the massage, blood circulation is normalized, and elastin and collagen are better produced.
Restoring period
Mechanical cleaning is a rather painful procedure. Therefore, after it has been carried out, it will take some time for the skin to recover. Pain and redness can be observed for several days, but this depends on the type of skin.
In some places, the skin may become crusted and begin to peel off. This scab in no case can not be ripped off, since I can form scars. After the procedure, you can not wash for ten hours, as the action of creams and masks will continue. The sun and at all stoitizbegat, as there can be a pigmentation. Mechanical cleaning is recommended in winter, autumn or spring, when the sun is still weak. It is not recommended to use any cosmetics for two to three days. All you need for the recovery period is a light moisturizing cream with a soothing effect. Tonics and lotions containing alcohol should not be used. It is best to use healing remedies.
Cleaning time
It is best to plan the mechanical cleaning in advance. It is not recommended to do it shortly before the holiday or the planned celebration, since after cleaning it must undergo a long recovery period. It is best to plan the procedure so that it falls on the weekend, and then you can spend a few days at home. So you can avoid the new pollution of the pores.
It is also necessary to take into account the menstrual cycle. During the month of cleaning do not, as well as in the last 10 days before they begin. In this period, the sebaceous glands are too active, so the pores are too fast pinched, and there will be no effect from cleansing. It is best to conduct this procedure after the end of the month after two to three days.
For problem and oily skin, mechanical cleaning is recommended every three months. And if the skin is dry, then it is enough to clean it twice a year. As mentioned above, mechanical cleaning is a procedure of deep cleansing. Therefore, if your skin requires more frequent cleaning, it is better to replace the mechanical one with a less aggressive type of cleaning - hardware or chemical.
