Facial cleansing is one of the most traditional cosmetic procedures that is still in demand. Its popularity is understandable – nothing can rid the skin of comedones so scrupulously as human hands. If you have not tried this procedure yet and are interested in what will happen to your face after cleaning by a beautician and how to take care of your skin after it, read on.
How brushing affects the skin
Just in case, we remind you that with an active inflammatory process, cleaning is not prescribed.
The first and main effect is that as a result of cleansing, the skin gets rid of blackheads, blackheads, comedones. Moreover, it generally becomes more even, tender, smooth, begins to “breathe”. The complexion improves, radiance appears.
How to care for the skin after the procedure: recommendations
Here is a set of rules for care after facial cleansing: what to do and what is strongly discouraged.
After cleaning, the skin becomes not only clean, but also more receptive to care.
What not to do after cleaning
After cleansing the face for a week, it is forbidden to visit the bath and sauna, you can not sunbathe and generally expose the skin to ultraviolet radiation, so it is recommended to limit your stay on the street.
Solarium is banned (recall that it is harmful in principle, not only after cleaning or invasive procedures).
Can I do makeup immediately after the procedure? No.
More precise recommendations are given by La Roche-Posay medical expert Alexander Prokofiev.
“Three days after cleansing, it is better not to use cosmetics – dense tonal products will clog freshly cleaned pores. The taboo applies to exfoliating products (scrubs and peels), in the early days they are contraindicated. Try not to touch the skin with your hands, any pollution can provoke inflammation.
What to do after cleaning
Hygiene, perhaps, is the most important point, because the skin is quite defenseless during this period and a careless attitude can cause inflammation. You can wash your face after twelve hours.
It makes sense to sign up for cleaning in the afternoon and after the procedure, do not touch your face anymore, but wash yourself the next day.
For washing choose:
comfortable warm water (preferably boiled);
cleansers for sensitive skin.
