Facial cleanser – which one to choose and how to use?

Facial cleansing is a popular cosmetic procedure. Every beauty salon gives visitors this opportunity. The procedure is performed manually or using a facial cleanser. Based on this, the service is called “manual” or “hardware”.

Performing the procedure manually takes two to three times longer than with the hardware method. In the first case, a lot depends on the qualifications of the master, his skill and even fatigue. By the end of the day, concentration decreases - the cosmetologist may miss the problem area. The price of a manual procedure is higher than that performed by a machine. But even such manipulation drains the pocket.

An alternative to a salon service is cleansing at home. It saves money significantly. The result is the same as after a salon service.

Design and principle of operation of an apparatus for ultrasonic facial cleansing

A device for cleansing facial skin using ultrasonic vibrations is a small device that fits easily in your hand. There are buttons on its body that allow you to manually set the required ultrasound power. Thanks to its low weight, your hand does not strain or get tired when working with the device.

The device is equipped with a curved metal spatula with specially shaped corners, which ensures convenience and safety during the high-frequency ultrasound cleaning procedure.

The principle of operation of the device is as follows: through ultrasound, which is transmitted through a spatula to the skin and penetrates deep into the dermis, a process is created to push out impurities, sebaceous formations, dust microparticles, and cosmetic residues from the pores.

How the device works: nuances of the process

All devices remove makeup residue, sebum and dirt at least 3 times more effectively than washing. As a result, the pores are not clogged, and the formation of an environment favorable for the growth of bacteria is avoided.

Most facial cleansing devices were created when estheticians and clients found the results of the exfoliation mitt to be unsatisfactory. But mechanical exfoliation often caused irritation. For this reason, brands have released a series of ultrasonic devices: they remove dead cells and new tissue appears on the surface. Ultrasonic waves also remove plugs from each pore. If you invest in a quality device, the cleansing will be more effective than a manual procedure.

There are also vacuum devices in use that pull out dirt like a vacuum cleaner. But the skin can get damaged, and most women only praise the price.

Tips from cosmetologists for skin care after cleansing

To avoid complications after cleansing your face, you need to follow the recommendations of cosmetologists:

• do not use scrubs for 5 days;
• it is necessary to use foams or gels instead of soap;
• It is not recommended to visit the fitness club after a session;
• After the procedure, you cannot immediately apply sunscreen (with the exception of a cosmetologist’s permission);
• after the session, you cannot immediately use cosmetics for 3 hours;
• use moisturizers and drink enough water;
• lifting using gold threads, facial hair removal, laser procedures should be performed before cleaning or a week after it;
• You should not sunbathe for a week after the session.

By following the advice, you will be able to avoid unpleasant consequences. Facial cleansing devices at home do not harm the skin. They are equipped with less power than devices in professional salons.

Cleaning procedure

Regardless of which model you choose, follow these steps when using:

1. Remove makeup completely.
2. To achieve results, women do steaming, but dermatologists have recognized the procedure as outdated. After all, you run the risk of developing rosacea and drying out your skin! Instead of holding your face over hot water, use warming masks. If you prefer proven methods, purchase a steaming device: you will get all the benefits of the procedure without the discomfort. This step can be skipped when carrying out ultrasonic cleaning.
3. Disinfect by treating the skin with an alcohol-based tonic.
4. Further nuances depend on what type of device you have chosen. If you are using a vacuum device or a device with a mechanical brush, then the nozzle is brought to the surface of the skin and processed in a circular motion. Those who prefer an ultrasound machine apply a special gel to their face. Then the nozzle is passed from the edges of the face to the center, directing the device against hair growth. Repeat the treatment 3 times.
5. Finally, you will create a soothing or nourishing mask with a light texture.

The procedure is repeated 1-2 times a week, which will ensure lasting results.

Combination devices

Most manufacturers strive to improve results by combining different types of skin treatments. You will find ultrasonic devices equipped with electric brushes, and models that combine physical scrubbing with the effect of radiation. Ultrasound cleaning is complemented by steam treatment, as well as light action. In the latter case, the covers are heated using thermal radiation, after which ultrasonic waves remove contaminants.

The best results can be achieved by combining different types of procedures. If the effect does not satisfy you, treat the skin with an ultrasound device, and for particularly problem areas, use a Uno spoon. In this case, you will not only cleanse small pores, but also remove dense comedones.

Please note that manual cleansing or using a Uno spoon is only permissible in areas with heavy contamination. You will also manually treat areas with inflamed acne; on the rest of the area, use gentle devices.
