Pimples after facial cleansing

Going to cosmetic facial cleansing, we expect to get rid of unnecessary elements and formations, including rashes of various kinds. As a rule, the result justifies our expectations. But it happens and vice versa: pimples after facial cleansing are formed in greater numbers than before visiting the salon. Why does this happen and how to avoid this unpleasant fate?

Causes of the acne after facial cleansing

Competent experts explain the formation of pimples after facial cleansing by the natural reaction of the skin, getting rid of toxins and impurities - a mixture of fat, sweat, makeup residue. As a consequence of manipulation, they seem to be pulled up from the depths, where they have accumulated for a long time. As a rule, such rashes pass themselves, leaving no trace. But it takes some time.

• Small pustules after cleaning, regardless of the technique, are considered normal.

They form faster because peeling speeds up cell division and metabolism. And what should have appeared later, is formed here and now. And all the benefits of manipulation will be visible after a few days.

There are other causes of acne formation after cleansing procedures, namely:

• herpes activation;
• stress;
• hormonal imbalance;
• allergies to food or cosmetics;
• vitamin deficiencies;
• improper diet;
• lack of hygiene, skin care rules;
• decreased local immunity;
• microtrauma to the skin;
• the effects of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and some other medications;
• endocrine pathologies;
• B hypervitaminosis.

Perhaps your skin is prone to rashes. In such cases, the probability of pimples after facial cleansing increases. Therefore, you should pay special attention to daily cleansing, each time thoroughly treating all problem areas.

Pimples appeared after mechanical facial cleansing

Mechanical cleaning is painful, but without it in cosmetology practice is impossible. Even with other methods, especially dirty areas often have to be "added" mechanically.

It happens that after mechanical cleaning of the face pimples appear. They need to be differentiated from inflammation, which is inevitable with such manipulation. So, in place of deep comedones, a pronounced swelling is noticeable for several days, but it safely disappears on its own.

• The main cause of acne is a violation of technology. The master may have traumatized the skin by pressing too hard when removing plugs, or neglected quality preparation, or poorly sterilized tools.

This is also possible when not taking into account contraindications, as well as improper care after the procedure. Thus, aggressive environmental factors, from which the skin is not yet protected, can provoke and inflammation, and abundant rash. The same can cause premature application of makeup, however, as well as all decorative cosmetics in general.

Individual pimples will disappear without any problems. If your face is so rashy that you can't help but be concerned, contact the salon where you received the service and ask for advice on eliminating the complication.

Pimples appeared after ultrasonic facial cleansing

Ultrasound in cosmetology is prescribed only when there are no contraindications and intolerance to ultrasound waves. It is rare, but it happens. If after ultrasonic cleaning of the face pimples appeared, it is urgent to establish the cause. It can be:

• sterility violation by the foreman;
• a reaction to steaming or applying a mask;
• undetected subcutaneous impurities that grow under the influence of ultrasound;
• if not all of the plug is out, the residue becomes inflamed.

A professional who performs procedures should do everything to prevent acne after facial cleansing. In addition to examining the field of action, must ask the patient about the state of health in general, possible contraindications, including infectious diseases. And also warn about possible complications, so that they do not take you by surprise.

For your part, you should warn the specialist about the peculiarities of your skin and unforeseen reactions, if any. A competent master will take this into account in preparation for manipulation. For example, if the skin reacts to steaming or clay mask undesirable way, the specialist will make a mask to narrow the pores not on the whole face, but only on the problem area. And the cheeks will lubricate with a moisturizer.

Risk factors

In addition to the immediate causes, there are risk factors that predispose to the formation of acne after facial cleansing. The elimination of these factors serves as a prevention of acne.

One of the most important is the food factor, that is, improper diet. The condition of the skin is badly affected by caloric flour sweets with fatty creams. The same products are also to blame for other health problems, starting with overweight.

• Prevention includes a healthy, vitaminized diet; vitamins A, B, C, and E are especially important for the skin.

Malfunctions in the gastrointestinal tract also lead to deterioration of the skin. This is caused by an imbalance in the intestinal microflora and the entry of toxins into the bloodstream.

Illiterate facial care is another common risk factor. Oily type is especially at risk of acne, because the pores are clogged with excess sebum mixed with sloughed epidermis, dirt, makeup residue. Therefore, the emphasis in care is on cleansing and the use of cosmetics specifically for oily skin.

• During some periods, pimples break out on the face for hormonal reasons.

This happens with many undergrowths in which androgens prevail, stimulating the secretion of fat. To reduce the effects, there are pharmacy preparations, particularly those based on salicylic acid. Intense rashes in an adult woman should be an excuse to consult an endocrinologist and a female physician.

Problem skin reacts to the emotional state of a person. It is no coincidence that pimples pop up on the eve of a crucial moment, often in the most prominent place. The reason is stress, caused by worries about an important event or event. Stress hormone increases the secretion of sebum, and the result is reflected on the face. The same stress is a lack of sleep, which has an eloquent effect on the appearance.

• The increased temperature of the environment contributes to acne, which makes the problem more acute in the heat than in other seasons of the year. The production of sebum and sweat increases, and if they are mixed with makeup, it is one step away from inflammation.

A separate factor is subcutaneous mites. It is believed that they parasitize all people, but are only activated if there are health problems, decreased immunity or allergies to mite products.

Pathogenesis

There are several links in the pathogenesis. The problem originates with hypersecretion of lipids, which occurs under the influence of endo- and ectogenic factors. The quantity and qualitative composition of the product changes. In particular, it loses a certain amount of unsaturated LCs, and this reduces the protective function of the skin.

The next stage in the formation of acne after facial cleansing - hyperkeratosis in the mouth of follicles. Due to the excess of cells, the lumen of the mouth narrows and blocks the exit of the oily secretion. A blockage is formed, where the nutrient content accumulates, and in it anaerobic microbes feel themselves perfectly. These are organisms that do not need oxygen, on the contrary, it is deadly to them. At the third stage, microorganisms begin to multiply rapidly, preparing the environment for the inflammatory process.

And it does not make you wait. The final stage is marked by active inflammation inside and "in the vicinity" of the sebaceous glands. Depending on the depth of the process, acne of various forms develops.

For its treatment, it is necessary to influence each link of the multistep pathologic process, as well as to follow additional rules.

Symptoms of the acne after facial cleansing

Most often pimples after facial cleansing rash on areas with an abundance of sebaceous glands: T-zone, forehead. This is due to the start of the process of cleansing the dermis. Symptoms look different, depending on the type of pimples. Non-hazardous rashes usually disappear on their own.

Comedones, that is, non-inflamed pimples, resemble small balls of white color with no exit to the outside. As they fill up, they are topped with black tops. Inflamed ones look like swollen red bumps or purulent papules.

• Typical localization is on the forehead and chin. These areas are red, itchy, swollen, accompanied by pain and discomfort.

Itchy multiple pustules and deep acne are a cause for concern. It is not advisable to deal with them on your own, so as not to infect and aggravate the situation. Qualified treatment should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.

Skin covered with pimples after facial cleansing, looks unkempt and unhealthy. The rash is especially intense in places where sebaceous glands are concentrated.

The first signs are marked by the formation of black and white acne of open and closed type. In the absence of hygiene and competent treatment, they become infected, spread and merge under the skin. These are secondary inflammatory elements formed in place of comedones. Clinically, they look like small papules (nodules).

Progression of the disease is manifested by the formation of cone-shaped pustules filled with exudate. After some time, they open or shrivel to a crust. After the opening of inflammatory pimples remain scars and spots. This is what a mild degree of the disease looks like.

• In more severe cases, indurative acne is formed, with deep skin lesions. Hyperpigmented scars after such pimples are more difficult but possible to treat.

In the most severe form of the disease, cystic cavities form - phlegmoid acne, fraught with multiple scars. Fortunately, this is rare and is not associated with facial cleansing.

Complications and consequences

Cleansed skin is highly sensitive and therefore requires special care. After all, the protective epidermal layer, i.e. The keratinized cells and the lipid sheath, has been stripped off; it is as if it is bare.

• Unpleasant consequences and complications can include pustules, hyperemia, and swelling.

Pimples after facial cleansing in the salon are formed in case of non-compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements, ignoring contraindications, other violations. Sometimes even old pimples become inflamed.

In case of abundant inflammation, you can not do without antibiotics, which should be prescribed by a doctor. It is allowed to wipe the face with salicylic acid or decoction of chamomile.

Unpleasant surprises are marks, light or dark spots that may or may not go away, and scarring that is virtually impossible to remove.

Diagnostics of the acne after facial cleansing

Is it normal when, instead of cleansing, new pimples form after facial cleansing? And if yes, why does it happen and what to do about it?

The clinic of acne after facial cleansing is quite eloquent and typical, so it is not difficult to diagnose them. Diagnosis is carried out by interview, examination, if necessary, laboratory examination of scraped epidermis and blood. An important role is the establishment in the anamnesis of the fact of facial cleansing, conducted recently. Of the possible additional tests - blood chemistry, hormonal panel, ultrasound of female or male organs.

Acne, especially moderate to severe acne, does not lend itself to self-treatment. Incorrect techniques and medications can lead to the progression of the process.

Differential diagnosis

Prescribing therapy, the doctor must make a differential diagnosis of pathology. In particular, to distinguish acne after facial cleansing from chemical damage, allergic reaction, deep comedones, rosacea, demodecosis, acne. In any of these cases, specialist consultation is required, since the clinic of these pathologies is similar, and the nature and therapy are different.

• Chemical burns cause a bright redness that looks like a massive rash.
• Allergies are typified by small, itchy pustules that occur when allergens are ingested or applied to the skin.
• Acne affects the sebaceous hair follicles.
• Demodecosis is caused by mites that live on the skin.

Not only the intensity of symptoms, but also the time of appearance of the rash can help in differentiation. If single inflammations come out on the 2-3 day, this is a by-product caused by microtraumatization of the skin. They are more easily treated with standard drugs - antiseptic ointments.

If the rash formed after a week and a half, it indicates inflammation, which requires professional therapy. With extensive lesions involving deep layers, the process is aggravated by infection, for the elimination of which it will be necessary to drink antibiotics or antiviral medications. Dulls the pain and draws out the pus Vishnevsky ointment.

When differentiating the diagnosis, localization, seasonality, age, influence of external factors, comorbidities, and skin phototype are taken into account.

Treatment of the acne after facial cleansing

In the appearance of abundant inflammation or purulent pimples after facial cleansing should not delay with treatment. First of all, do not squeeze out the contents, so as not to infect the entire field and not to lead to subsequent scars.

A consultation with a dermatologist or cosmetologist is necessary, and if the visit is postponed for any reason, the following procedures are allowed:

• Wash the skin with an infusion of one of the herbs: sage, chamomile, calendula.

• Make a clay mask.
• Do not try to squeeze out blackheads on your own.

In the future, until the skin is not fully recovered, it is useful to wash with boiled or non-carbonated mineral water.

If the expected result did not occur, you need to go to see a doctor and follow his recommendations. Perhaps he will prescribe not only external, but also drugs for internal use. Everything depends on the severity of the lesion.

If the salon did it right, you shouldn't have this problem. What do you mean, right? In this case, first of all - sterile. A professional never ignores hygiene rules and preparation, takes into account the individual condition of the epidermis, possible consequences.

Without imposing products on the client, gives recommendations on care after cleaning, because open pores are unprotected from penetration of microbes and recurrence of the problem. Compliance with all the conditions ensures the restoration of the skin, improving its appearance and health. And if you were not warned about it, next time look for a more responsible specialist.
