Rules for deep cleansing of the face
Every woman dreams of soft, smooth skin without breakouts and blackheads, but with age it becomes more difficult to keep the skin clean. As a rule, the reason for the appearance of skin disorders is poor ecology, toxins inside the body, illiterate nutrition and hormonal disruptions. To maintain a beautiful face, it is recommended to carry out a deep facial cleansing a couple of times a month, which can be done both at home and in the salon. In this article, we will talk about how to properly clean at home and look at the best recipes for masks and other methods.
Peculiarities
One of the reasons for the appearance of rashes is the clogging of the pores, which become inflamed when contaminated. If you regularly cleanse your face, you can tidy up your face and gradually cleanse it. Modern cosmetology offers a huge number of products for washing and superficial cleansing, however, they are not suitable for deep cleansing, since they cannot always get deep into the pores. It is recommended for preventive purposes to cleanse the face, starting at the age of twenty.
According to statistics, every second woman is prone to acne due to unfavorable ecology, improper lifestyle and many other factors. A healthy epidermis has a self-cleaning function, but due to certain factors, the sebaceous glands begin to produce too much sebum, which causes the dermis to become inflamed and blackheads form. When carrying out a deep peeling, the entire epidermis is cleaned, and not just its upper layer.With the regular carrying out of this procedure, the face gets rid of all sorts of rashes, acne, blackheads, blood circulation is normalized and natural regeneration of the dermis occurs. Peeling cleanses the pores from the inside and removes the stratum corneum, as well as excess sebum.
As a rule, this procedure is carried out in order to get rid of fine wrinkles, stretch marks, pigmentation and other skin problems that appear with age.
Some women try to do it as a preventive measure to prevent inflammation.
Rules of conduct
There are several rules for doing peeling at home. If they are observed, maximum efficiency can be achieved. Deep cleaning is recommended no more than twice a month, depending on age, skin condition and the desired result. Multiple peels injure and spoil the epidermis, so you need to be as careful with them as possible.
First you need to prepare the skin. Cosmetologists recommend cleansing the pores on a steamed face, since in this case the dirt will come out faster. First of all, you need to thoroughly wash your hands with soap. The face is washed with a special gel. Next, you need to steam your face to enlarge the pores. This is done as follows: a solution is prepared from chamomile or calendula, pouring boiling water over the herbs, after which they hold their face over the container for several minutes. When the above actions are completed, you can proceed directly to deep cleaning.
In no case should peeling be done if there are wounds, abscesses or serious injuries on the dermis.
Wait for the abrasions to heal, and then start cleaning. It is not recommended to squeeze out inflamed comedones in order not to promote their spread. Tea tree essential oil can help dry out acne and soothe the skin.
If the epidermis is in good condition, it is possible to carry out mechanical cleaning at home., however, with very oily and problem skin, it is better to entrust the procedure to a specialist in the salon. Peeling of dry skin is carried out only once a month, for oily skin, the amount increases to weekly, the normal epidermis can be cleaned once every two weeks. It is better to carry out peeling in the summer.
Basic cleaning methods

Reviews
Many women use both home methods for deep facial cleansing and salon procedures. Salon procedures allow you to quickly and easily cleanse the skin without spending a lot of effort, however, they are more expensive than cleaning at home. Mechanical cleaning is the most effective and necessary at the initial stage. Folk recipes allow you to cleanse the skin well, and with regular use, keep it in optimal condition. However, it is noted that any deep cleaning is effective only in the absence of health problems, and works in conjunction with the correct daily routine and healthy sleep.
In the presence of endocrine and hormonal disruptions, it is recommended to contact a competent specialist who will prescribe the correct treatment.
