Normal skin care

The goal of normal skin care is, first of all, to prevent its premature aging. Additional protection of the skin from the effects of aggressive environmental factors is necessary, primarily adequate photoprotection. It is recommended to use basic skin care cosmetics and decorative cosmetics that correspond to this skin type, have undergone dermatological testing and do not have a comedogenic effect.

At home, in the absence of contraindications, you can use peelings. The frequency of this procedure depends on the skin type and the type of peeling (see " Peelings "). It is recommended to make masks prescribed by a dermatocosmetologist or made independently from food products. A freshly prepared mask is applied to cleansed skin of the face for 15-20 minutes. Then the mask is washed off with cool water or herbal infusions. The face is treated with a toner and a moisturizer is applied. Masks can be done no more than 2-3 times a week

Example of a mask for normal skin

Lecithin mask. Mix until mushy: 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon honey, 3-5 drops of olive oil, 10 drops of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of oatmeal. Apply the mixture to the skin of the face and neck in an even layer. Wash off the mask after 15-20 minutes with cold water.

Care for normal facial skin in a beauty salon, regardless of the specific cosmetic line.

The following sequence (algorithm) of manipulations is recommended:

1. Skin cleansing. Remove makeup (make-up remover) from the skin around the eyes and lips using special cosmetics with the appropriate markings. Cleansing milk is applied to the entire surface of the face with light circular movements along the lines of least skin stretch. Milk is removed using sponges soaked in warm water along the lines of least skin stretch.
2. Toning. The toner is applied along the lines of least skin stretch. After applying the toner, its excess is blotted with a cosmetic napkin.
3. Peeling. When choosing a peeling, preference should be given to scrub creams for normal skin or gommages, glycopilings, enzyme peelings, as well as ultrasonic peeling. It is permissible to use soft brushes when applying peeling cream.
4. Hygienic facial massage using cosmetic massage cream or oil. In the presence of pronounced signs of skin aging, plastic facial massage is performed using talc. It is possible to alternate sessions of hygienic and plastic massage.
5. Mask. In a beauty salon, it is recommended to make masks. Preference should be given to moisturizing masks that are easily removed from the skin surface, as well as collagen sheets.

Physiotherapeutic procedures used for the care of normal facial skin

To perform complex procedures for intensive care of the skin of the face and neck, a modern cosmetology room must be equipped with a number of physiotherapeutic devices. Let us consider the functions they can perform using normal skin as an example.

• Vaporization. In combination with an ozone lamp, it is used to steam the skin of the face before vacuum and mechanical cleaning, as well as to improve the absorption of cosmetic creams and masks. The method is contraindicated in the presence of a network of dilated blood vessels and with dry skin.
• Peeling-brushing. It is carried out using brushes of different sizes and hardness, sponges, pumice stones and peeling creams. It is not recommended to work with brushing brushes on the skin of the face for more than 3-5 minutes. The use of this method allows you to effectively cleanse the skin, causes moderate dilation of blood vessels. Contraindications are pustular lesions of the skin of the face, fungal, viral lesions of the skin of the face, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, allergic dermatitis.
• Desincrustation. It is a physical, superficial peeling. The method is based on the principle of galvanization, using solutions of bicarbonate or sodium chloride solution-desincrustation on the active electrode. Due to therapeutic electrolysis, an alkali is formed at the negative pole, changing the pH of the skin, which promotes dissolution and removal of sebum from the excretory ducts.
• Vacuum spray. With the help of vacuum action, massage on the gel and superficial cleaning of the skin (removal of open comedones, especially located in the area of the wings of the nose, superciliary arches, between the eyebrows, under the lower lip) are carried out. Work in the spray mode with the use of lotions corresponding to the skin type that have a tonic, cooling, vasoconstrictor and pore-constricting effect. The disadvantage of vacuum facial cleaning is low efficiency, severe traumatization of surrounding tissues. Contraindication to the use of the method is the presence of a network of dilated blood vessels.
• In addition, patients with normal skin type use the darsonvalization method. Mainly the contact (both labile and stable) method is used, the remote method is rarely used, as it has a cauterizing effect. Darsonvalization is carried out on talc, on a dry antiseptic mask or on a finishing cream, for 5-10 minutes, every other day, for a course of 10-15 sessions.
• The use of ultrasound and iontophoresis allows enhancing the effects of applied cosmetics and medicines. Peeling procedures are also performed using ultrasound. The myostimulation method is used to prevent skin aging.
• When pronounced signs of skin aging appear, it is advisable to use myostimulation in combination with plastic massage and paraffin masks.
• Currently, the method of microcurrent therapy is widely used, as well as electrostatic massage, therapeutic laser, photorejuvenation, aromatherapy with essential oils and other relaxation procedures.
