Lto professional facial cleansing, the one that is done in the salon thanks to skilled and expert hands, is a fixed appointment for many people. In a short time, impurities and dullness give way to a cleaner and brighter epidermis. AND September is the perfect time to put it on the agenda, thanks to the change of season.
Professional facial cleansing, time for a reset for the skin
There Facial cleansing helps improve the appearance of the skin, both in terms of impurities and brightness. Professional tools act on the epidermis in a delicate but firm manner to remove dead cells and excess sebum: «Professional facial cleansing aims to improve the brightness, texture and general health of the facial skin. May include cleansing pores, exfoliation, extracting blackheads, applying hydrating or purifying masks and finally the application of products to hydrate and protect the skin” he replies Angela Noviello, director of the functional aesthetics division of Milano Estetica.
Suitable for all skin types, however it is necessary to proceed with caution: «Some particular skin conditions, such as extremely sensitive skin, eczema or acne, may limit performance of the treatment or require a more delicate approach or specific precautions during the treatment phases. It is always advisable Consult an esthetician or dermatologist before undergoing a facial professional in these particular cases.” Therefore, even the most problematic skin must not give up having more beautiful, luminous and deeply cleansed skin.
When does the skin need deep cleansing?
But how to understand if the epidermis needs this type of treatment? As the expert explains, there are different types of signals, the most classic being the clogged pores: if blackheads or comedones prevail, sebum and impurities have taken over.
The second sign is dull skin: «If the face appears dull, it could mean that the stratum corneum is a little thickened due to the presence of an accumulation of dead cells. Cleansing your face in this case can help remove them and reveal brighter skin».
Good cleansing is also recommended for irritated or inflamed skin: «In these cases we resort to one gentler cleansing that helps soothe and remove impurities without further irritating or inflaming the skin.” In the end its properties should not be underestimated during the change of season.
At what age should you resort to professional facial cleansing?
In general, experts agree that the earlier you start, the better. In fact, it turns out to be a sort of preventive treatment for the skin: it starts already in adolescencea period in which, due to hormonal changes, the epidermis undergoes the greatest changes.
It should also be underlined that «goals may vary depending on age and individual needs. For example, facial cleansing treatments for teenagers may focus on managing impurities, while for adults they might aim to improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.”
How often to do it
How often to do it? «About every 4-6 weeks, although the frequency varies greatly depending on your skinfor this reason it must be established by the expert himself.”
Can facial cleansing cause problems? «Generally not, but some people may experience redness, irritation or hypersensitivity skin, especially if they have particularly sensitive skin. Furthermore, if facial cleansing is not done correctly or with unsterilized tools, an infection may occur. It is important to choose a qualified professional.”
Correct post-cleansing of the face
To keep a clean and healthy face for a long time, too at home you need to follow a suitable routinestarting from daily cleansing: «It must be carried out morning and evening and must include the use of a specific detergent, to gently remove all impurities, combined with a tonic to restore the skin’s pH and prepare it for subsequent treatments” explains the expert. Then we move on to serum suitable for treating specific problems which must be applied before the cream and massaged delicately.
«Moisturizer and sunscreen are the last two steps. The cream must hydrate without weighing it down while the sunscreen must protect the face and neck” concludes the expert. To prevent the onset of further imperfections but also inflammation, it is essential to avoid do-it-yourself at home: no to “squeezing” pimples and blackheads, because they are very aggressive gestures that do not eliminate the problem at the root and can cause infections. Furthermore, it is essential to always choose suitable products.
