6 cosmetic procedures after which you can’t exercise (with a clear conscience)

When is it necessary to take care of your facial skin?

Daily skin care should be practiced throughout your life, starting at age 16.
But different facial skin care products should be used. Selection criteria are skin type and age. All cosmetics must be applied along massage lines. Violation of this rule will lead to stretching of the skin and early wrinkles.

Minimum 3 stages

There is a mandatory minimum home program, consisting of 3 stages, which should be performed daily, morning and evening.

Cleansing

Skin cleansing. In the morning, the skin needs to be cleansed to remove traces of the night activity of skin cells, otherwise they may be absorbed back when applying the cream. Evening cleansing removes dirt and makeup. After washing, the skin should be lightly blotted with a towel; do not rub.

To avoid transepidermal loss of moisture and, as a result, dryness and tightness of the skin, you need to use “washes” that do not contain sodium sulfate.

Mechanical facial cleansing: the cost at Crystal cosmetology will be 500 rubles (makeup remover, cleaning, tonic, final cream), with a skincare procedure - 800 rubles (makeup remover, peeling, mechanical cleansing, darsonval, tonic, mask, final cream). + ultrasonic cleaning - 1000 rubles.

Toning

Skin toning. You should wipe your face with toner after each cleansing to normalize the pH of the skin and also prepare it for the subsequent application of moisturizer. For those with all skin types (including those caring for oily skin), it is preferable to use an alcohol-free toner. For problem skin with acne, a toner with AHA acids is ideal.

Hydration

Skin moisturizing. A must-have step even when caring for oily skin! Lack of moisture in the epidermis is the path to early skin aging.

It is recommended to apply day cream at least 30 minutes before going outside. The optimal time to apply night cream is 1-2 hours before going to bed: the facial care product is effective only when the muscles are mobile. Girls under 25 years old do not need to use night cream, as young skin repairs itself. Evening care can be reduced to cleansing and toning. In addition, in order for the skin to remain smooth and fresh, it is necessary to periodically free it from dead cells. To do this, you can scrub your face 2 times a week. Owners of problem skin with acne should not perform deep cleansing, and if the skin is overly dry, sensitive, you can use the scrub less often - a couple of times a month.

Features of post-peeling care

After superficial cleansing

Superficial peels are considered the easiest for the skin; after them, the skin is quickly restored, and the risk of complications is minimal. Regular superficial cleansing can eliminate minor skin problems, prevent the appearance of wrinkles and other age-related imperfections.

Some procedures are used for medicinal purposes. For example, after salicylic peeling, problematic acne dries out, inflammatory processes inside the epidermis are reduced, which leads to a noticeable improvement in problematic skin type and a reduction in cases of acne in the future. But keep in mind that salicylic acid may not be suitable for those with dry and sensitive skin.

Before performing cleansing, be sure to consult a cosmetologist. His recommendations in choosing a procedure will allow you to correct existing imperfections on the face without worsening the situation.

Rehabilitation after superficial exfoliation lasts 7–10 days. Let's take a closer look at what processes happen to the skin after such peelings:

The first 24 hours after the procedure, the face is red, later a feeling of tightness appears, as if cling film had been stuck to the skin. This is a normal reaction to acid exposure. On days 1–2, avoid contact with water.
2-3 days - active peeling of the skin appears. Starting from the second day, use wound-healing ointments (for example, Panthenol). It is necessary to apply the products 4-5 times a day to speed up the regeneration of the epidermis and alleviate its condition. Do not peel off loose films of skin; this can lead to wounds and, accordingly, there is a high risk of infection. As a rule, after such actions, scars remain that look unaesthetic. For washing, you can already use tonics and gels that do not contain abrasive particles.
Active peeling after superficial cleansing lasts 3–4 days. At this time, cosmetologists advise using special hypoallergenic cosmetics, devoid of chemical additives and fragrances that could harm the weakened fibers of the epidermis.
During the rehabilitation period, in addition to caring products, it is very important to use sunscreen cosmetics. Please note that the protective function of the skin after peelings is noticeably weakened, and the scorching rays of the sun can provoke skin pigmentation and even lead to burns.

What types of skin care treatments are there?

“How to properly care for your facial skin,” millions of women are interested in. We answer: it is ideal when competent home skin care is combined with regular visits to a cosmetologist. During skincare procedures, the doctor, depending on the age and skin type of the client, selects a program that allows solving a specific problem. Most skin care procedures include: cleansing the skin, light peeling, toning, facial massage (classical, plastic, Jacquet or lymphatic drainage), application of an active concentrate, then a mask. Also, skincare procedures are often performed according to a more accelerated program: peeling, facial massage and, of course, applying a mask - cream, alginate, collagen or Matrigel.

In addition, the price list of many salons separately includes facial massage, which is recommended to be carried out in a course of 10-15 sessions. This massage improves blood microcirculation, strengthens the muscular frame of the face, providing a lifting effect. To enhance the result, concentrates are usually applied under the massage cream. When caring for the face after 40 to reduce wrinkles, a more noticeable effect, of course, will be from hardware or injection methods.

After skincare procedures, a cosmetologist, having diagnosed the skin, can select facial skin care products at home. The effect of properly selected professional cosmetics for facial skin care will be many times higher than from using self-selected mass market products.

In addition to various facial procedures, the price list of salons also usually includes care programs for the skin of the eyelids, neck and décolleté.

Peeling: skin cleansing

How will it help? This option is suitable if you need to even out the skin, improve its color, get rid of fine wrinkles around the eyes and tighten pores.

When to do it? You can go for superficial peeling with fruit acids a week before the holidays, because skin damage will be minimal and will quickly disappear along with the problems. But it’s better to go for a medium peel two weeks in advance so that the skin has time to fully recover.

What to choose? Recommended peeling options depend on your skin condition.

Glycolic peeling can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and stimulates the production of its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, which not only helps cleanse but also rejuvenate the skin. Glycolic acid belongs to AHA acids, therefore it is indispensable for the treatment of acne, oily seborrhea of the facial skin, hyperpigmentation, follicular hyperkeratosis.
Mandelic acid peeling is recommended for people with sensitive skin, including oily skin, as it tightens pores and helps treat acne. Peeling with mandelic acid has a mild rejuvenating effect and copes with minor skin imperfections. Mandelic acid, like glycolic acid, is a fruit acid, but its effect on the skin is milder.
Salicylic peeling is the most effective treatment for dermatitis, acne, acne and post-acne. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores and affects the activity of the sebaceous glands. In addition, salicylic acid eliminates fine wrinkles and skin imperfections.
Jessner peel has an exfoliating effect on the skin. The combination of three components (resorcinol, lactic and salicylic acids) helps to effectively get rid of scars and other skin imperfections. Jessner peeling normalizes the production of collagen and elastin, helps cope with age-related skin changes and restores a healthy complexion.

problematic skin with rashes, enlarged pores, increased oiliness
rosacea
dry, dehydrated skin
presence of age-related changes (fuzzy oval face, loss of skin elasticity)
swelling of the face and eyelids
the need to restore skin after surgical interventions

upcoming special event (most salons offer express programs for radiant, fresh skin)

prevention of aging
hyperpigmentation.

General recommendations from cosmetologists

In order to reduce the negative impact of external environmental factors, as well as not to delay the rehabilitation process, cosmetologists strongly recommend listening to their advice. First of all, they relate to the following points:

You cannot wear makeup, use foundation or powder until the skin is completely restored after chemical peeling. Firstly, you can get an infection, and secondly, particles of decorative cosmetics and foundation will clog your pores and make your face look unkempt.
Going to the sauna, steam bath, playing sports and performing increased physical activity after peeling is unacceptable and harmful. All these actions lead to an increase in temperature and abundant release of sweat particles, which are considered excellent carriers of infections. Plus, the expansion of blood vessels will delay the passage of facial redness. For the same reason, you will have to postpone fitness, drinking alcohol, hot and spicy foods.
Do not wash your face in the first days after the procedure, even with plain water.
Until the end of the rehabilitation period, use the range of products recommended by a specialist. Such products have a useful composition, a high moisturizing effect and do not irritate the skin.
If you have the slightest suspicion of a deterioration in the condition of your facial skin after the peeling procedure, you need to go to a specialist. Self-medication is dangerous for the client’s health!
Chemical cleanings are characterized by pronounced peeling of the integument. How many days this side effect lasts depends on the type of cleansing. However, in any case, it is forbidden to peel off the resulting film or crust. This will not speed up the recovery process, but will only lead to scars.
Lotions, gels, and cream after peeling should not contain abrasive particles and acids, as they will damage the already burned fibers.
Try not to touch the surface of your face with your hands, do not go to the pool until the integrity of the epidermis is completely restored, so that infection does not get inside.

Do not ignore the cosmetologist’s instructions; carefully study the rules of facial care after the procedure to reduce the risk of post-peeling complications and quickly enjoy smooth, clean and radiant skin. Only with such understanding will you achieve the perfection of covers without hassle or worry.

Contraindications for facial skin care

Since care programs are usually selected individually (after consultation), it is difficult to identify common contraindications. Most manufacturers offer “designer” facial skin care products that can be combined with each other to create a program that is suitable specifically for this client.

Alginate masks, the most popular salon procedure, have virtually no contraindications (only individual intolerance to the components). There are more restrictions when doing facial massage:

violation of the integrity of the skin, its inflammation, including acute dermatoses
active stage of herpes
infectious diseases
bleeding
diseases of the trigeminal nerve, circulatory system

malignant neoplasms.

When doing facial massage according to Jacquet (it is often used for problem skin with acne), pronounced rosacea is added to this list.

Laser: getting rid of serious skin imperfections

How will it help? Will remove manifestations of rosacea, age spots, deep wrinkles.

When to do it? To fully enjoy the results, it is advisable to go for the procedure at least three weeks before important events.

What to choose? Lasers are available in non-ablative and ablative types.

Non-ablative lasers (neodymium laser, phototherapy) do not damage the skin and have a gentle effect on it. Since they act in the deeper layers of the epidermis, they cope perfectly with pronounced wrinkles.
Ablative lasers (erbium, CO2 laser) damage the skin to stimulate collagen synthesis. The method is effective for correcting fine wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and treating post-acne, as well as rejuvenating the eye and lip area.

Effectiveness of facial skin care

Many clients believe that home care using professional cosmetics can replace care treatments in the salon. It is a mistake to think so. Each manufacturer's assortment includes facial care products intended for salon and home use. Professional preparations have a higher concentration of active substances, but using them without special training is difficult and sometimes dangerous. In addition, since care programs are developed individually, using facial skin care cosmetics that complement each other, the effect cannot be compared with the consequences of self-medication!

Another common misconception: skincare procedures are less effective than hardware and injection techniques. Since the mechanisms of action are different, there is no point in comparing these techniques. The result depends on the desired effect. For example, to improve the condition of the upper layers of the skin, treatments using high-quality facial care products can provide better results than other techniques. Often, to achieve the best effect, a cosmetologist combines hardware, skincare and injection techniques.

Therefore, to the question “How to care for your facial skin?” the answer is always different. The transformation program is individual for each patient. Some girls are better suited for skin care treatments using high-quality facial skin care products, while others prefer a combination of several techniques. The main thing is to quickly achieve your goal, namely, a professional with a medical education will recommend optimal care for oily skin, facial care after 40, etc.

What happens to your skin after peeling?

If you are interested in the question of whether it is possible to visit a bathhouse after facial peeling, then think about how this will affect injured skin? What effect will elevated temperature and profuse sweating have on her?

If you evaluate the condition of a woman’s skin after exfoliation, then an analogy with a burn is appropriate. Moreover, the stronger the concentration and depth of penetration of the exfoliant, the greater the trauma to the skin. Peeling is a serious stress for the body, requiring a period of rehabilitation to restore the integrity of the damaged skin.

Interesting: the first peel using salicylic acid and resorcinol was done in Germany at the end of the 19th century.

During the exfoliation process, the active components destroy the fibers of the epidermis, which die and flake off from the surface of the epidermis. In their place, a layer of new cells is formed, characterized by firmness and elasticity. Through a woman's eyes it looks very unpleasant. Redness, inflammation and swelling are replaced by profuse peeling of the skin.

The main thing at this difficult moment is to allow the body to restore the damaged area without interfering with the natural process. Follow the recommendations of cosmetologists, use only approved products. If you do not follow the advice, you take upon yourself all the side effects and complications of the post-peeling condition.
