Manual facial cleansing for skin beauty

The skin of the face is exposed to external factors every day. The pores are clogged with dust, cosmetic residues, exfoliated scales of the epidermis. It is not always possible to achieve high-quality cleansing with lotions and cleansers.

Manual facial cleansing is a simple but effective procedure to improve the appearance of the skin. With its help, a hygienic and cosmetic effect is quickly achieved, metabolic processes in tissues are improved, and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized.

Features of mechanical cleaning

The procedure is carried out manually, with the help of fingers. In fact, the cosmetologist extrudes dirt from the pores in compliance with hygiene standards and rules for conducting cosmetic procedures. The skin is pre-steamed so that the pores open, this greatly facilitates the process. Extrusion is done with fingers wrapped in sterile gauze.

Additionally, you can use a special Uno spoon. This is a device, at one end of which there is a small strainer with many holes. At the other end of the spoon is a convex hemisphere with one hole in the middle. A strainer removes fat and keratinized scales from the skin, a hemisphere with a hole is designed to squeeze out acne.

The spoon is placed directly over the comedone so that it can exit through the hole, and light pressure is applied, after which the contents of the pimple come out. The procedure is facilitated by the use of a Vidal needle. Insulin needles can also be used, as they are particularly thin. The skin is pierced with a needle directly in the pimple area to facilitate its extrusion.
