10 effective ways to clean your face
Cleaning the face is essential for its beauty and health. There are different ways to maintain its purity, some of which may be applied only in specialized beauty salons, while others are for everyday use at home. Here are 10 proven effective ways to deal with oily skin, open pores, blackheads and unpleasant oily sheen.
1. Enzyme peel
This is done once in 2-3 weeks by recommendation of dermatologist . On the skin is applied a special gel that prepares the skin to peel. It is washed with water and then is applied mask-peeling and left to work for 20 minutes. After its removed, active agent (ampoule) is applied, which is chosen individually. The next stage of application is mask fro dermo-regulation. The procedure ends with the application of regenerative antioxidant cream, and the result is a smooth matte skin and clean pores.
2. Laser procedures
The top layer of skin is treated with a laser beam. The procedure is painless, since this layer does not have nerve cells, and the cooling of the skin is performed with exfoliantl. The results are evident after 7-10 days. Skin shines less and the skin color is fresh and healthy.
3. Ultrasound
The skin is treated with special apparatus which does not cause unpleasant sensations. When the ultrasound passes through the skin it hits the cells with very high frequency. The result of this procedure is shrinking pores and skin smoothness.
4. Silicone Cream
Despite the popular belief, oily skin needs to be moisturized carefully. Be careful in your choice of cosmetics for oily skin, because the dermis may become easily irritable and you can increase secretion of fat glands. One recent innovation is cream with mattifying silicone. This controls the release of oil from the sebaceous glands and helps to remove the oily sheen on the face.
5. Mattifying ‘tricks’
Mild mattifying gels control oily shine during the day. Mattifying towels can provide removing excess shine without smearing the makeup. Matte compact powder also makes it possible to forget the shine of the skin. Manufacturers continually improve these formulas so that they can remove oily shine and regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands better. They eliminate the inflammation and shrink pores.
6. Mineral water
It helps tightening pores and reduces the unpleasant sheen of the skin. It is good to do this in the morning. At night after removing your makeup, it can be used as a good tonic that prevents stretching of the skin.
7. Yogurt
With a dry cotton pad, take a small amount of yogurt and apply it on the face. With every other appliance wet the pad more thoroughly. Leave on your skin for 30 minutes then rinse with cold water. After that apply a moisturising cream. If you can, leave a layer of yogurt through the night and allow itself to dry so it can tighten your skin. In the morning rinse with cold water and apply moisturizer.
8. Egg yolk
In a small jar place one egg yolk and gradually add 1-2 tsp lemon juice or grapefruit juice. The resulting mixture can be stored in a refrigerator and used 2-3 times. With slightly wet cotton pad, take a small part of the mixture, and apply on the face, but quickly remove it so it won’t enter the pores. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times and gradually increase the amount of yolk, which is applied to the skin like lightweight foam. After 2-3 minutes wash the face with water or damp sponges and apply moisturizing cream.
9. Cream soap
Wet cotton pad in 3% perhydrol, add cleanser or cream or just rub the pads with gentle soap. Rub in circular motion on the face, until it foams and leave in for 3-5 minutes (1-2 minutes for sensitive skin) so it will clean the clogged pores and blackheads. Wash the foam with warm water. Do this procedure daily for 1-2 months, and when the skin gets used to it – do this from 1 to 3 times per week to improve the skin condition. If your skin is really oily and your pores are very clogged, to the mixture you can add a little salt.
10. Bran
Grind a cup of oats with a meat grinder (if you are under 25 years add 1 teaspoon baking soda).Stir the mixture and store in a glass container. Wet your face with water, then stir the mixture with some water to form a paste and smear it on the skin. When you feel that the mixture is “moving”, gently wash your face with water. The procedure is done every night for 1 month.
