How to choose the right face scrub
Before buying a scrub, remember a few precautions.
Always consider your skin type. So, scrubs with large and hard particles or acids in the composition can injure dry and sensitive dermis. It is better to stay on synthetic granules. Representatives of oily and problem skin are suitable for scrubs with natural granules, which clean the pores well.
При выборе скраба изучите его основу, выдавив немного средства из пробника. Так, например, кремообразная текстура легко наносится и хорошо впитывается. Гелеобразная основа хорошо проникает в кожу и смывается, масляная — отлично пенится и смывает загрязнения.
Также не забывайте про насущное состояние вашей кожи. Если у вас есть ссадины, царапины, выраженный купероз, акне или другие воспаления —покупку стоит отложить. Иначе вы попросту обострите свои проблемы.
How to use a facial scrub
How often should you exfoliate? It all depends on the specific product and skin type. But there is a universal rule: dry skin will withstand one exfoliation per week, normal and oily skin – up to three times a week.
When using a scrub, remember:
- Apply to clean, damp skin in circular motions.
- Avoid the eye and lip area.
- Massage for a few minutes, unless the instructions say otherwise.
- Rinse with warm water and apply moisturizer.
What composition should be in a facial scrub
The “correct” scrub includes exfoliating, moisturizing and nourishing components – vitamins, oils and organic acids.
Natural granules and fibers (rice bran, sea salt, wheat grains, pumice stone) are responsible for the process of exfoliating the stratum corneum, as well as for nourishing with nutrients and vitamins.
Enzymatic acids (papaya enzyme, bromelain) are more gentle than natural ingredients.
Fruit acids (glycolic acid, alpha-hydroxy) for cleansing penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.
Sugar увлажняет кожу и притягивает влагу к клеткам.
Moisturizing ingredients (organic oils) soften and nourish.
IMPORTANT!
Scrubs should be as natural as possible, without preservatives, fragrances and flavorings.
Popular questions and answers
KP experts answer popular questions from our readers:
How often can you use a facial scrub?
— Первое поколение — механическое очищение твердыми частичками, их мы обычно называем скрабами. Это могут быть гели или мягкие эмульсии с молотыми косточками, обработанными гранулами жожоба, минералами, синтетическими сферами. Очень важно подобрать формат такого абразива: так для кожи лица это должны быть очень мелкие деликатные гранулы с обработанными краями, чтобы не повредить кожу. Для кожи тела можно выбирать скраб с более ощутимым прикосновением (молотый кофе, кокос, сахар, соль, скорлупа орехов).
Cleansing with such means can be carried out independently at home no more than once a week, be sure to apply a protective cream after use. It is not recommended to go out into the sun after such a procedure, it is better to carry it out in the evening, allowing the young pink cells to get stronger enough to contact the environment.
— The second generation — acid peels, which are carried out only by cosmetologists using a special technology that involves exposure of the skin to a special acid solution, followed by neutralization and a certain period of skin recovery after the procedure. Despite the availability of such tools recently on marketplaces, please refrain from using it yourself and entrust this matter to a professional!
– The third generation – enzyme peels based on papain or bromelain. Enzymes break down the bonds between dead skin cells and thus contribute to its deeper cleansing. The only negative is that they can have too strong an irritating effect on sensitive skin, so it is not recommended to use them with reactive skin or in the presence of inflammation.
– The softest type of peeling was recently discovered and was called the fourth generation – peeling with bacterial enzymes. Their main advantage is the selectivity of the effect only on the surface cells of the skin without irritation. In addition, this peeling optimizes the production of sebum, softens and soothes the skin.
Foams with such a component can be safely used in daily gentle cleansing of the skin, – said Ksenia Mironova is a cosmetologist and cosmetics developer.
