Any woman dreams of a soft, even and beautiful skin that would attract attention and arouse admiration of others. There are many ways to maintain youthfulness and freshness of the skin. One of the popular treatments is face brushing. What it is? The type of peeling that cleanses and improves the skin with the help of specialized equipment. The action of mechanical cleaning is quite simple, but at the same time effective, which explains its high popularity among the fair sex.
Who is recommended for the procedure?
Brushing is a facial cleansing that is recommended for almost all women, regardless of age and skin type. First of all, such a procedure is indicated as preventive facial care, which is exposed to all kinds of adverse factors. Solar radiation, polluted air, the deposition of heavy metals and salts on the skin (especially in residents of large and developed cities) - all these environmental factors negatively affect the condition of the face. Physiological processes also affect skin health. Diseases, stresses and age-related changes are manifested in the form of wrinkles, redness and rashes. Internal problems provoke increased secretion of fat and clogging of pores, causing premature aging.
Women who have rough and thick skin with enlarged and clogged pores, acne and age spots, mechanical cleaning will help improve skin color and condition, restore a well-groomed and healthy appearance to the face. In addition, the procedure is useful for aging skin. Massage helps to tighten it, restoring tone and radiance.

Most cosmetologists offer face brushing to their clients. What is it and what effect is expected after the procedure?

The combination of these methods has a beneficial effect on the condition of the face.

Throwing courses
Most women who turn to a cosmetologist have many questions about the “face brushing” procedure. What is it and how often should I return to it to maintain the result?
Mechanical cleaning is an easy procedure that does not carry a global burden on the skin. However, abuse can lead to many problems. Regular self-renewal of skin layers and removal of the upper surface of the epithelium will lead to a decrease in the protective and regenerative functions of the body. Simply put, a person is "lazy", will cease to regulate the water balance and sebaceous glands.
Seven or eight treatments are enough for a full course. Owners of oily skin can resort to brooming once every week, and women with dry and normal skin - once every two weeks. Between courses should pause for 3-4 months.
Contraindications
Despite the safety of mechanical cleaning, in some cases it is recommended to refuse it. The fact is that a face brushing device can cause irritation of hypersensitive skin and even damage it. A person is particularly vulnerable in the following cases:
- with increased flabbiness;
- during pregnancy;
- during lactation;
- with diabetes mellitus.
The procedure is contraindicated during an exacerbation of most skin diseases:
- purulent rashes and inflammations;
- open wounds, scratches;
- severe skin lesions of acne or acne;
- eczema;
- herpes;
- rosacea.
Cleaning machine
For throwing, a special mechanized apparatus with nozzles rotating automatically clockwise or in the opposite direction is used. Facial brushing brush is made from natural bristles, which gently cleanses the skin, does not fall off and does not remain on the face after the procedure. Nozzles differ in size, diameter and stiffness. Their choice depends on the type of skin, its thickness, condition and purpose of the procedure. In addition to brushes, there are pumice and sponges for grinding the face. During operation, you can increase the speed of rotation of the nozzles and the impact on the skin.
Household cleaning
Questions are quite common: face brushing - what is it and how to make it at home? The procedure is simple in technique and does not require special preparation. To achieve the best result, it is advisable to entrust the first cleaning to a specialist. In this case, you should receive recommendations regarding your skin, because individual care may differ from the general.
For home throwing, any face brush is acceptable. Some manage to cleanse their skin even with toothbrushes. In order to narrow the pores after the procedure, you can use an ice cube.
Reviews
Most women who have tried the procedure confidently recommend face brushing. Reviews are almost unanimous - the result is noticeable after the first cleaning. The skin becomes fresher, more pleasant. The face is more susceptible to daily care.
There are also disadvantages to the procedure - its relative effectiveness. In the case of severe contamination, with increased pigmentation and deep wrinkles, brooming is practically useless. In other cases, mechanical cleaning is convenient, simple and safe, which is its indisputable advantage.
