How does peeling gommazh?

It's no secret that the most important and the first step in the care of the skin of the face is proper cleansing. Often, makeup remover is not enough to provide a deep cleansing of pores from dirt and dust, and the skin surface - from dead keratin scales. Most additional purification is important for people with problem skin types, excessive fat and acne, but as a rule, such skin is also sensitive.

If 20 years ago deep cleansing of the skin was associated with scrubs that are absolutely not suitable for sensitive skin, now they are fading into the background, because new technologies have appeared in the ranks towards the beauty of your face.

Peeling scrubs contain solid abrasive particles. As a rule, these are organic additives - for example, apricot or raspberry seeds. However, the use of such tools can detrimentally affect the condition of the skin due to the morbidity of the procedure, because solid inclusions scratch the skin and can lead to irritation.

That is why the scrub was replaced by gommage, which eliminates the mechanical effect on the skin. At its core, gommage, like scrub, refers to exfoliants. The exfoliation process takes place due to the content of AHA-acids in homogeneous preparations, otherwise they are called fruit acids.

Fruit acids that make up the gommage:

• dissolve dead skin particles;
• moisturize the skin due to accelerated regeneration;
• lighten pigment spots;
• have an antiseptic effect;
• enhance the production of skin's own collagen, responsible for elasticity;
• normalize the water-fat balance, which reduces the likelihood of inflammation and acne due to the cleansing of the sebaceous glands;
• make the skin fresh and rested.

On sale you can find several types of gommash, but first you need to figure out what is the difference between these means.

• Mask-gommage - in addition to the presence of fruit acids in the composition, enriched with vitamins and trace elements. It has a rather thick texture that is more convenient to apply with a brush in order to save and hygienic procedure. On the face of her hold for quite a long time.
• The cream has a lighter texture compared to the mask, it is held for 2-3 minutes and rolled.
• Gomma peeling - the most liquid in consistency, acts as gently and gently as possible.

The use of gommage should be carried out, following certain rules.

• Despite the fact that this procedure is one of the most delicate, it is necessary to exclude allergic reactions and intolerance to the components. A small pea means is applied to the skin on the crook of the elbow, and only if within half an hour there was no reaction, the tool can be applied on the face.
• Before cleaning gommage need to prepare the skin. First, you need to clean your face with facial cleanser. Secondly, if there is an opportunity, steam out the skin, open the pores. It is good to do this procedure after a bath or a hot bath, you can also use special tools that open the pores.
• Gommage is applied to the face along the massage lines, it is kept on the face indicated on the packaging by the manufacturer. Typically, this time ranges from 3 to 20 minutes. Hand-made peeling-gommazhi are more benign, so they are left for a maximum time - 20 minutes.

• After the necessary time has passed, the product is gently massaged, as if rolling off the face so that it takes away all the contaminants. After that, you need to wash with warm water.
• After the procedure, it will be useful to use an agent to close the pores, and after that - a light, non-greasy cream.
• The frequency of use of this tool is directly dependent on the skin type. So, for owners of combination skin, it is recommended to use gommazhy 1 time in 2 days, and for dry - no more than 1-2 times a week.
• If the face has pronounced inflammation, you can apply gommage, but without rolling, that is, apply the product to your face, and after the required time has passed, simply wash off the mask with warm water. This method eliminates tissue injury as much as possible.

In itself, exfoliation of dead skin particles is a natural process, but for some reason this mechanism may fail.

The main indications for peeling are:

• age-related skin changes (with age, the ability of the skin to self-purify decreases);
• lack of vitamins (often in spring you can notice unhealthy peeling on the face precisely because of hypovitaminosis);
• environmental exposure (bright sunshine, strong wind, cold, dry climate, etc.);
• insufficient cleansing (it is important to wash every day, regardless of whether or not cosmetics are used);
• increased skin pigmentation;
• stresses and diseases (provoke violations of the regeneration of the skin).

As with any cosmetic procedure, the peeling has its own contraindications.

It is not recommended to use gommage if:

• there are inflamed areas on the skin;
• there are open wounds, cuts, and scratches on the face;
• couperose is observed;
• skin is chapped or burned by sunlight.

Since ancient times, women have used masks from natural fruits and berries, milk, cereals to enhance their beauty.
