In the difficult task of combating acne and black spots, it is sometimes impossible to cope with gentle means, and heavy artillery, such as peels and all kinds of cleansing, is used. One of the favorite tools of all beauticians is the cosmetology loop. What it is, how to use it, and also which brand is better to choose for use at home, you will learn from this article.
What is this tool
It must be said right away that the cosmetology loop is designed for the specialist to work at home and can only aggravate the situation with the skin, but with the right approach, it can get rid of such problems that neither masks nor brushes can handle.
This tool is a metal stick, on both sides of which there are special loops or small funnels. With their help, you can easily remove comedones, blackheads and blackheads. Sometimes a cosmetology loop combines two types of loops - larger and smaller, which are designed for different types of rashes on the face.
This cosmetic tool is made of medical steel, and therefore it can be treated with any disinfectant and not be afraid that it will oxidize and rust.
Interestingly, in the absence of an appropriate tool, a simple invisibility, which many girls stab hair, can be an analogue of the loop at home. Just treat it with an antiseptic and run along the previously steamed wings of the nose or other problem areas, pressing gently. You will see the effect immediately!
How to use a cosmetology loop
The first thing to do before cleaning the skin is the treatment of the instrument and face. Wipe the cosmetic loop with a disinfectant, such as Biolong, and then treat your skin with any antibacterial tonic.
Before proceeding directly to the procedure itself, you need to steam the skin and thereby open the pores. You can hold your face over a water bath, arrange cleaning immediately after a hot bath or shower, or use a special warming mask.
Now bring the loop to the comedone, grab it inward and gently press on the skin. If the time has not cleared and a small white “worm” of sebum does not come to the surface, then slide the loop to the side and repeat the procedure at this point.
To improve the effect and prepare the skin for cleansing, you can make a small peeling, but you should not choose means with large abrasive particles, hard brushes and aggressive acids for this purpose.
If you want to squeeze a pimple, then remember that you can only do this with ripe acne with a white "head". Initially, they need to be pierced with a sterile needle, you can use a syringe, and then gently squeeze out a cosmetological loop. Treat this place with tea tree oil, which disinfects and dries well.
Video instruction: how to clean with a loop
In this short video, the principle of using the cosmetology loop is clearly visible. In this case, cleaning occurs at home on steamed skin. Wings of the nose must first be treated with a sanitizer, the tool also needs to be well-prophylactic.
When to use the loop
Human sebaceous glands work day and night so that the skin remains supple and soft. With a normal skin type, the produced fat is evenly distributed over the face and does not clog pores, if there is any disturbance in this process, sebum is produced in excess, it remains in the pores and subsequently oxidizes, forming an ugly black dot. When skin fat enters a favorable environment, bacteria lead to inflammation, which is popularly referred to as acne.
It is skin cleansing that can prevent these problems by cleansing pores from sebum. You definitely need to purchase a cosmetic loop or go to a beautician for mechanical cleaning if you have:
- Oily skin with a tendency to increased work of the sebaceous glands.
- Comedones, black spots, acne.
- Pronounced pores in which dirt quickly accumulates, not giving in to gels and foams.
As a result of cleansing with a loop, the skin begins to breathe better and perceive cosmetic care products and procedures.
Mertz Tool
The design of the cosmetic loop Mertz allows you to remove not only subcutaneous inflammation, but also purulent acne. This is possible thanks to a sharp needle on one side and an eyelet on the other. The cosmetologist first punctures the pimple, and only then releases its contents out with the help of a loop, preventing it from spreading under the skin and leading to new inflammation.
Hinges of this brand are always made of medical alloy and are of low price. Most professional cosmetologists give preference to tools of this particular brand.
Loop metzger
Cosmetic loops under the Metzger brand are available in various shapes and sizes. Any specialist or just wanting to get clean skin without comedones at home can choose for themselves the most convenient tool.
There are single-sided loops, bilateral with a needle and a loop, bilateral with loops of different sizes, with a small funnel on one side and others. A variety of shapes, sizes, design options make Metzger cosmetic loops attractive for beginners in the field of dermatology.
Reviews of cosmetologists and patients
Those who once tried cleansing the skin with the help of a cosmetic loop, leave only positive reviews. Compared to hand cleaning, the loop does not leave marks, dents, or bruises; there is less risk of infection. It is important to remember that under the nails there are a lot of microbes that fall into the freshly cleaned season, settle in it and lead to even more skin problems, so do not neglect the advice of other girls to take their "eyelet" on all trips, so as not to break and squeeze something- then hands.
Beauticians do not recommend using this tool at home, saying that it is very easy to violate the degree of pressing force and damage the delicate skin of the face, as well as the girls who conduct this procedure on their own, do not always steam the skin well and process it after.
Also, professionals are advised to adhere to the rule: each member of the family has his own tool for cleaning the skin. Here, as with toothbrushes, individual use is important.
