How to use a spoon "Uno" to clean your face?

Many women and girls face a problem that brings discomfort to their lives: the presence of acne and clogged pores on the skin of the face. Of course, you can visit the salon, and do a face cleaning.

Not everyone knows that you can clean your face at home with a Uno spoon.

Spoon "Uno" - a small metal device, specially designed to clean the skin from comedones. The device is called a spoon, because in reality it resembles: at one end of the device a small rounded spoon with a hole in the middle, and at the other - a small skimmer, called a spatula.

The scapula removes excess sebum, dead cells from the forehead, T-zone, cheeks. A sphere with a hole is needed to cleanse acne. It is placed in such a way that the head of the eel gets into the hole and is pressed. The contents of the eel does not get on the skin, remaining in the spoon, thereby preventing infection of adjacent areas.

The stick may have a loop at the end, formed by a wire or a thin strip of metal. And also it can end with Vidal needle. A needle is pierced with eels for easier removal of the contents, the loop serves to remove non-inflammatory contaminants. Sometimes a kit is offered: a stick with interchangeable tips.

If you purchase an instrument from a reliable manufacturer, it will be made of medical steel that is well disinfected. It is required after using the tool.

First, it is cleaned of visible impurities with a napkin or cotton swab. Soaking in hydrogen peroxide will contribute to further purification: 3% solution is quite suitable. For the final disposal of bacteria, warm the instrument in the oven for 15–20 minutes or boil for the same length of time.

Periodically, the wand should be cleaned and disinfected during use, since the shoulder blade will always collect the contents of acne and sebum. To clean, use wipes soaked in any disinfectant solution. You can use chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or alcohol-containing compounds. If they are not at hand, you can use the usual cologne or vodka.

It is equally important that the tool be comfortable to hold in your hand, and that it does not slide in it. Therefore, either a ribbed surface on the central part of the instrument or the presence of an anti-slip coating is desirable.

Before buying, hold a spoon in your hand, check whether your hand is comfortable - because you have to carry out the procedure yourself on your face.

Another important point is the quality of working surfaces. They should be perfectly smooth. Notching, roughness can damage steamed skin during cleansing, which is highly undesirable because of the possible infection of wounds.

It is desirable to have a cover for storing the tool. Good manufacturers tend to take care of proper packaging. If there is no cover, you will have to take care of it yourself.

If you bought a quality tool, you can use it for a long time. On the spoon, "Uno" does not set the expiration date. Moreover, they do not need to be sharpened, they do not require special storage conditions. All that needs to be done is to clean and disinfect in a timely manner.

You bought a great tool for cleaning the face, and you can not wait to try it in action. However, in a hurry, nothing but a long-standing strong redness and inflammation, you will not succeed. To avoid these unpleasant consequences and get a good result, you need to properly prepare for the procedure.

Note that the process is quite time consuming, and that mechanical cleaning, although it is the most effective cleansing cosmetic procedure, still leaves traces on the face. Therefore, it is necessary to plan for a free day. But if, for example, on Saturday evening you are to attend a festive event, there is no need to do cleaning in the morning.

Cleaning consists of several stages.

• First, prepare everything for work. You will need a mirror, preferably with an increasing effect, which can be installed vertically, cotton swabs, disinfecting compounds. And also need to sanitize the wand and wash hands thoroughly.
• If you have makeup on your face, wash it off with cosmetics, and then wash your face with warm water using an anti-bacterial gel, foam or special soap. For cosmetic purposes, the use of tar soap is justified.

• The next step will be the use of scrub or peeling. It is applied to cleansed wet skin and rubbed with light circular movements along the skin lines. Scrub or peeling will cleanse the skin of dead cells, release clogged pores and contribute to a better quality of the subsequent cleaning.

Suitable means of any brand. But you can also use folk remedies. For example, scrubbing with oatmeal, which is in any home, gives a good effect.

• Now the face should be steamed. In beauty salons for this there is a special device.

At home, it will replace the pelvis or other metal wide tank. It is filled with hot water. Boiling water should not be taken - you can burn the face. A suitable temperature is 60-65 ° C. A person with hair trimmed is kept above steam, while the head and container should be covered with a towel.

Adding healthy herbs will have a good effect. For dry skin, you can take lemon balm or dill, inflorescences of lavender or chamomile, calendula, and coltsfoot leaves.Skin prone to inflammation, oily or combination, especially recommended are sage or chamomile, linden flowers, and oak bark. Peppermint, horse chestnut nuts, birch or willow leaves will do. You can also do fees from these plants. One tablespoon of the collection will be enough. Essential oils can also be added to the water.

Steaming can be done with a hot, wet compress. Soaked in hot water and wrung out a small towel impose on the face. The cooled towel is moistened again with hot water. Repeat the action must be several times.

• Now you can start cleaning. The scoop is applied to the skin and is carried along the face along the skin lines. Their main direction is from the center of the face to the sides. Contaminants accumulating in the blade should be periodically removed, and the blade itself should be wiped with a disinfecting solution.

It is not necessary to press the shoulder blade strongly to the face so as not to leave unnecessary marks on the skin. For the same reason, do not get carried away with the procedure, and do not spend it for too long.

Large eels are removed with a loop or spoon located on the other side of the stick. If the hole in the spoon is small, then setting it on the head of an eel, click on the pimple with the entire outer surface of the spoon. If there is a loop on a stick, then it is positioned in such a way that the pimple is in it, and then it is looped over it, pressing lightly.

A closed eel is pre-punctured with a Vidal needle. In the absence of a special nozzle, it can be replaced with a needle from a syringe, which is preferable, or an ordinary sewing needle. The needle is disinfected and pierced with blackheads at an acute angle to the skin surface.

When the facial cleansing is completed, there is another step in turn that cannot be ignored. No matter how carefully you clean, there is redness on the skin, and the pores are still enlarged and susceptible to infection.

Wipe face with antiseptic solution. You can use salicylic acid, chlorhexidine, calendula tincture, alcohol solution of chloramphenicol. They will narrow pores, prevent inflammation.

To soothe the skin and remove redness, you can make a mask. Use a clay or any other soothing mask. Apply better ready cosmetic. Contrary to numerous advice, masks using lemon juice, potatoes and other means in this case are not suitable. They are good, but not now, when the skin is cleansed deep - you can not guarantee the perfect purity of products.

Since deep mechanical cleaning is a serious skin test, do not do it often. Brushing your face once a month is sufficient for oily skin, and in the case of dry skin, perform the procedure even less frequently.

Competently carried out cleaning gives good results. But unfortunately, there are contraindications:

• The procedure is not carried out in the case of very dry skin or peeling, as cleaning has a drying effect.
• You can not clean your face at the stage of acne inflammation, with pustular rashes, in the presence of wounds, cuts or other damage.
• Cleaning and steam baths are contraindicated when there are closely spaced dilated blood vessels on the face - rosacea, herpes, dermatitis.
• You should refrain from using the spoon “Uno” for women and girls who are sensitive to pain.
• Avoid deep cleansing in the presence of large birthmarks and other formations.

If the skin is problematic, there are a lot of comedones, inflammations on it, before carrying out the procedure it will be useful to consult with a cosmetologist.

Not everyone was able to use the spatula and eyelet the first time.Many people say that preparation for cleaning takes a lot of time, but emphasizes that it is very important, as is regular cleaning of the instrument.

No less important is the purchase of quality goods. There are comments that the cheap wand began to oxidize after several cleanings and disinfectants.
