Preparation
It is very important, before carrying out the procedure, to test the skin for an allergic reaction to the substance. In this case, you will need to apply it to the elbow (its back part) and wait for a while. If the skin does not have reddening, then the solution is suitable for your skin type, and it can be used.

Technique of the cleansing face with calcium
Using a cotton swab, the calcium solution is applied to the skin, allowed to dry, and then the product is applied again. This procedure should be repeated 3-4 times. Do not treat the skin around the lips and eyes, as it is more sensitive there, and besides this, you prevent the solution from entering the eyes.
Next, you need to beat up soap foam and, using a cotton swab, apply it on the skin over the already existing layer of the solution. After that, on the massage lines, carefully remove from the skin the mixture consisting of insoluble calcium salts and the removed cornified skin layer, which turns into pellets. If necessary, the foam treatment can be repeated.
Clearing your face, you need to wash with warm water, and then rinse it with chamomile tincture. This is necessary, because due to the combination of mechanical particles of organic salts on the skin, microcracks can appear, and treatment with a disinfectant will prevent inflammation and accelerate the healing process of damaged tissues.
At the end of the procedure, a moisturizing cream should be applied to the skin.
Romashkovoy tincture must be prepared in advance - 1 pinch of flowers pour 0.5 liters of boiling water and press for 20-30 minutes.
In case you are allergic to vegetable tinctures, you can use mineral water instead of chamomile for rinsing.
Also during the procedure should be observed such conditions: you can not leave the solution on the face for a long time, because this can cause the development of hyperpigmentation of the skin; In addition, it is recommended to do a peeling before going to sleep, so that reddened and tightened skin managed to recover overnight.

Care after the procedure
