Facial hygiene is the starting point for healthy skin and that is why daily cleaning at home must be combined with protocols in the cabin.
Years ago facial cleansing was the star treatment in any beauty center. With the proliferation of aesthetic protocols, it seems that it has been relegated to the background. However, its importance to maintain healthy and radiant skin is essential. Although the daily cleaning at home, morning and night, it is essential, experts say it's not enough. Dr. Elena Gallo, dermatologist at Amselem Aesthetic Doctors , explains that to maintain a good cleanliness of the skin, "combine professional cleaning in the cabin , At least once a month, to remove dead cells, smooth the skin, eliminating small expression lines and providing greater luminosity, along with daily cleaning at home with cosmetics specially indicated for the face».
What are the benefits of professional facial cleansing??
According to Silvia Oliete, founder and director of the Blauceldona beauty institutes , “The home routine fails to remove the impurities that accumulate in the pore at a deeper level. Protocols are used in the cabin that go beyond superficial cleaning , filling the tissues with hydration, that get the epidermis to soften, repulpe and allow this deep dirt to be expelled more and better. Another benefit is that it is balanced , making your endogenous sebum production and hydration improve. Thus, the skin improves its oxygenation capacity and, Thus, the supply of nutrients that reach it with the blood microcirculation, and assimilates more and better the active ingredients of the products, impacting your overall health, which in turn have a visible benefit in their freshness, clarity and brightness ».
facial cleansing with or without extraction?
One of the doubts that usually arises when considering a professional facial cleaning is whether it should include extraction or not.. In the past, it was usual to do so., same as using steam . Today there are many protocols that do not include it, recurring, as the beautician Cristina Galmiche comments, expert in facial hygiene , «to formulas such as the diamond tip or chemical peeling . The drawback of these treatments is that they only superficially treat the tissue. , that, over time, relapses again. The reason? The skin continues to accumulate bacteria and secrete sebum ; this can only be tackled by working in depth. After 35 years of experience, I opt for the cleanliness of a lifetime , but paying special attention to an artisanal extraction that is carried out carefully draining each pore, without attacking or leaving marks ». Of the same opinion is Myriam Yébenes, director of the Maribel Yébenes center , «it is advisable to always use extraction, either manually or through suction technologies ».
However, Silvia Oliete believes that extraction is not recommended for all skin types, That is why he emphasizes that « a good cleaning must always be personalized . There are very thin skins, delicate or with a tendency to leave marks or scars that should be avoided, and opt first to take steps to soften the stratum corneum and allow those accumulations of oxidized sebum and keratin to come out on their own, or if extraction is finally necessary, this can be very soft and superficial».
How often should a cleaning be done at the beauty center?
Another of the usual doubts is how often to go to an aesthetic center to clean the skin in depth.. It has always been said that at least it should be done with each change of season, I mean, four times a year. the experts, instead, They recommend doing it once a month or even every three weeks in the case of combination and oily skin. . If the skin has active acne, Cristina Galmiche proposes her artisanal oxygenation at least once a week until the outbreak is controlled.
What type of professional facial cleansing to choose
To achieve the best result with this treatment, you must choose the most appropriate protocol according to your skin type.. For it, it is advisable to go to a trusted beauty center where they value each skin and its needs. For combination and oily skin , Myriam Yébenes advises « steam cleaning combined with manual extraction techniques ». Silvia Oliete, by Blauceldona, bet on a cleaning that includes exfoliation with acids (glycolic, salicylic…) that manage to dissolve and soften the stratum corneum, slightly refine it and remove dirt and oxidized and hardened sebum accumulations in the pores ».
On sensitive skin , «Instead of steam, it is recommended to use specific products that prepare the skin for subsequent extraction. Suction technologies are also used : ultrasonic, dermoabrasión or Hydraderm that use types of glycolics that combine with this suction», comments Myriam Yébenes.
For dry skin , Silvia Oliete recommends a protocol that emphasizes hydration "with very mild products, creamy and nutritious, with draining massages and circulation activators to improve your oxygenation. Likewise, it is necessary to increase its water reserves with active hydration enhancers such as glycerin, la vitamina B3, amino acids and omegas, in addition to ceramides that help improve their barrier function and lose less water».
