Combined facial cleansing is performed only in a salon, and yet there are certain rules by which a person must prepare themselves for it. 10 days before it begins, you must avoid tanning, not visiting a sauna or solarium, since their effects will make the skin more sensitive, vulnerable and can lead to unnecessary trauma. You should pay special attention to your diet so as not to cause an allergic reaction: a week before the procedure, give up alcohol, spicy, smoked, salty foods and give preference to healthy food.

Technique facial

Combined facial cleansing in the salon consists of several stages:

• steaming - is carried out using warm steam directed at the face. This allows you to soften the stratum corneum, sebaceous plugs for easier removal. The steaming stage is not carried out if there are blood vessels close to the surface of the face, the skin is too sensitive and in case of bronchial asthma. If the effect of steam on a person is unacceptable, cold hydrogenation is used - an alternative method that allows you to saturate the cells with moisture, weaken their connections;

The device is positioned for convenience at an angle of 35-45 ⁰ and is equipped with a spatula-nozzle, with the help of which the surface of the face is treated, starting from the sides and moving towards the center. Moisturizing with gel is periodically repeated. You can go over the same area up to 4 times, the appearance of redness is a signal to stop the procedure;
