To carry out mechanical cleaning of the faceA special tool is used - a metal double-spoon, called the spoon of Unna.

And the "sieve" scrape off the upper stratified layer of skin and fat. Mechanical cleaning should be done by a doctor or a nurse, or a beautician with good experience and recommendations. The procedure for cleaning the face is quite long and traumatic, so all precautions should be followed. All tools, as well as the skin of the face and hands of the master should be carefully disinfected. The cosmetologist should work in gloves. The location of each single removal of contamination should immediately be wiped with alcohol or a disinfectant. Mechanical cleaning is usually carried out as an independent procedure. However, it can be combined with various hardware cleaning, for example, ultrasonic or chemical. This will allow a deeper cleansing of the facial skin. With the help of mechanical cleaning, you can cleanse not only the facial skin, but also the shoulders and back, neck and décolleté zone. Mechanical cleaning has a number of indications:

Description of the procedure for mechanical cleaning of the faceThe procedure of mechanical cleaning in the beauty salon is held in a special room. The client lies on the couch, and on his face is a lamp, well illuminating the work surface. The master sits above the head of the couch, carries out a cleaning from above. Proper mechanical cleaning consists of several consecutive stages. Skin Preparation First of all, the face skin should be thoroughly cleaned, remove all make-up and rub the surface with tonic or lotion. Opening of the pores This stage is called "vaporization" - steaming the skin of the face. Usually, pores are opened by a steam bath over hot water, a decoction of medicinal herbs can be added to the water. You can also open the pores by using special vapourizers or lamps that heat the skin. Also, it can be done by applying various heating means - masks and gels. Direct mechanical cleaning Due to the bright illumination, the master can see all the shortcomings and black points on the skin that are almost impossible to independently consider. The cleansing itself should be carried out while the pores are still open, this will reduce the soreness and traumatism of the procedure.

• Working with a sieve

First the master works that sidea metal tool that resembles a sieve. This side removes fat and plaque from the skin, exfoliates the horny layer of skin cells. Infected areas with inflamed eels can not be touched with a sieve. On the forehead, the movements are directed from the eyebrows to the hair, on the cheeks - towards the inside towards the nose. The nose is cleaned from the base to the back, the chin is from the bottom up. The skin should be held with fingers so that it does not stretch. Stitching moves like strokes. As the contamination of the strainer is washed.

• Working funnel

Now the wizard begins to work with a funnel withhole in the recess. It removes sebaceous plugs, blackheads and dirt. The spoon opening is applied to the area of ​​contamination, it is easily pressed, directing movements from all sides to the center of contamination. Thus, all dirt and sebum are removed from under the skin and exit through the hole in the spoon. The area of ​​each individual contamination must be cleaned with alcohol immediately after cleansing. Disinfection of the skin After the removal of all visible contaminants, the facial skin is wiped with alcohol or alcohol tincture. For this purpose, you can also take a tincture of calendula, salicylic or boric alcohol. Some cosmetologists treat the skin with liquid nitrogen. All these techniques disinfect the skin well, prevent inflammation. Soothing the skin After disinfection and drying the skin, a drying mask is applied to the face, which soothes the skin and tightens the pores. It also reduces redness, prevents inflammation, reduces puffiness and swelling of the skin. The mask should be kept on the skin for at least 15-20 minutes. During this time, the pores will narrow and finally close, which will prevent the appearance of new contaminants. Moisturizing the skin After washing the mask, a light moisturizing cream is applied to the skin with massage movements. Do not use too fatty remedies to not hammer again pores. In case the skin is very dry, you can apply a mask after the tightening mask. But the cream in any case should be light and non-greasy texture. Massage of the skin Some beauticians conduct a face skin massage after the procedure. There are many types of massage: classical and plucked, modeling and lymphatic drainage. However, the most effective is pinch massage (according to Jacquet). It stimulates blood circulation, as well as the production of collagen and elastin proteins. These substances are the building material for the skin, so it will be much quicker to recover from the micro-injuries caused during the cleaning process. Massage for Jacquet stimulates and accelerates the metabolism, affects the deep layers of the skin.

Recovery period

The procedure of mechanical cleaning - this processrather painful, but the most effective. After it comes the period of skin regeneration. During the procedure, the skin is applied microtraumas. Frequent exposure to a small area of ​​the facial skin leads to redness, swelling, swelling and swelling. Tightening and soothing masks can eliminate these manifestations, but not in full. Pain sensations and reddening of the skin can be observed for several days after the cleaning procedure. It depends on the type of skin and its sensitivity.

• Formation of crusts

The skin in some places can become crusted and peel off. The formed crust should in no case be touched to prevent the appearance of scars.

Cleaning time

Carrying out a face cleaning, especially mechanical,plan ahead well. It is not necessary to do cleaning shortly before the forthcoming solemn event or holiday, since after cleaning a long recovery period sets in. It is better to do the cleaning on the weekends, and spend the next few days at home. So you can avoid new contaminants of pores and facial skin. Women need to plan to clean the face in accordance with the menstrual cycle. It is not worth cleaning during the month, and also in the last 10 days before they begin. This period is the time of the highest activity of the sebaceous glands, therefore the pores after cleansing will very quickly get clogged and become contaminated again. Cleaning will have no effect. It is best to clean 2-3 days after the end of menstruation. For oily and problematic skin, a mechanical cleaning should be carried out once every two or three months. But for dry skin, which is usually not so problematic, it will be enough to clean it twice a year. As already mentioned above, mechanical cleaning is a cardinal procedure of deep purification. Therefore, if your skin requires more frequent cleaning, it is better to replace the mechanical less aggressive hardware or chemical.
