Perform facial cleansing at home. How to do facial cleansing yourself at home? The final stage is moisturizing and closing pores

23

Dear readers, spring always tells us that it’s time to take care of ourselves. Of course, you always want to look 100%, but especially now. Therefore, I propose to talk about beauty on the blog today. Of course, this topic is very broad and multifaceted. But, undoubtedly, important, because to be beautiful is the desire of each of us. Someone, in pursuit of an ideal appearance, devotes all their energy to this and considers it, if not the first, then one of the most important goals in their life. For me, for example, a more moderate approach to the matter of beauty is closer. There is no way to devote hours every day to self-care, much less going to beauty salons. Therefore, I prefer to keep everything simply under control.

And my salvation is an arsenal of little feminine tricks - recipes, secrets and recommendations that completely replace expensive cosmetic procedures. I like to use everything at home. Firstly, I definitely trust myself, and secondly, I like to choose a variety of recipes and ingredients for myself. It also seems to me that the success of today’s woman lies in her information content. After all, the more we know, the more we can apply.

However, let me return to the topic of today’s article. What is the key to our beauty? Probably, first of all, cleanliness! Both external and internal. This is about external cleanliness today and we'll talk. Let's talk about facial cleansing at home. Make-up, nourishing masks, hair coloring fade into the background when something doesn’t go well with our “base” - the skin of the face. Therefore, it is so important to always monitor its condition and carry out regular cleaning procedures. And you can do this yourself.

You know, I immediately remember my first device for cleansing the face at home, “Romashka”. I don’t know if you caught him, I remember very well. The steam procedure, these herbs that could be put in the bath, the very steaming of the face and then some of our women's secrets gave such a feeling of happiness and joy. Of course, things may not be like that now. And a lot of new things have appeared. But no one canceled home procedures. Simple, affordable, effective.

Facial cleansing at home

Before deciding on any procedures with your skin, you need to answer the main question for yourself: “Why is this necessary?” You can learn about what skin renewal gives us from this video. There is also an example of facial cleansing at home and tips on how to put everything into practice. Let's watch the video footage.

Home peeling. Video

We have already talked about how to cleanse your facial skin at home on my blog. It was an article where, as part of a competition on a blog, one of the contestants shared a recipe for a very effective facial cleansing. And in the same competition there was a very interesting miracle mask-film for the face. I highly recommend that you don’t pass by and pamper yourself.

Today we will look at a few more methods and get acquainted with the rules by which this very cleaning should be carried out. We'll start with the rules.

Facial cleansing at home. Basic Rules

In order to approach the issue competently, you need to remember several rules:

1. Facial cleansing at home should only be done if the skin is free of dermatitis, rashes of any kind, acne, acne with signs of inflammation, eczema, etc.
2. It is not advisable to cleanse the face during menstrual periods; pregnant women are also not advised to get carried away with this procedure.
3. To achieve the right effect, you need to act in stages.

Homemade facial cleansing. Stages

1. Preparation. First of all, let's wash off the remnants of makeup from the face and clean it with any cosmetic product.

2. Next you need to prepare the skin so that cleansing it happened easier, and the skin was not damaged. To do this, we need to soften the skin of the face and open the pores. Typically used for this warm compresses . You can use any decoction - string, chamomile, sage or just boiled water. Soak a terry towel in hot liquid and apply alternately to different parts of the face - cheeks, forehead, chin.

Another way is to soak gauze in broth or water and place it all over your face for a few minutes. Naturally, the applied compress should be at a comfortable temperature; you should not burn yourself. Our task is to “warm up” and steam the epidermis (the top layer of skin). You can tell that your skin has already prepared by looking at your pink cheeks. If you do not suffer from bronchial asthma, heart or vascular diseases, then instead of a compress, you can use a steam bath as a steam bath.

We will need the same decoction, but in a hotter, boiled state. You need to hold your face over it, covering yourself with a towel. The duration of the steam bath for those with dry skin is about 5 minutes; for those who have more problematic skin, which means they will need to work on it longer and more intensely, you need to hold your face over the steam for 10-12 minutes.

3. Next comes direct cleaning using a special scrub . We'll talk about scrub recipes a little later. Sometimes mechanical facial cleansing is also carried out at home - simply put, squeezing out blackheads by hand. However, cosmetologists do not recommend doing it yourself, as this is fraught not only with infection, but also with injury to the skin. If you take on such responsibility, be sure to wipe your skin with hydrogen peroxide.

This must be done periodically throughout the process. Sterility is the main condition of this procedure. Moreover, it is better not to use alcohol for this purpose - it dries and tightens the skin too much, causing excessive irritation, and subsequently even peeling. Let me remind you that your hands should also be perfectly washed and treated with an antiseptic, and your nails should be shortened. Moreover, it is better to wrap your fingers in a bandage or gauze to reduce the risk of skin damage.

4. After the procedure, you need to “close” the released pores . To do this, wipe the skin with ice cubes or a frozen decoction of your favorite herbs - sage, coltsfoot, mint. You can also wipe your skin with lemon juice. After waiting until the surface of the face is completely dry, lubricate it with any moisturizing or nourishing cream. However, do not overdo it - be sure to blot off excess cream with a paper napkin.

Facial cleansing at home. Options

And now some examples of scrubs that can be used for home facial cleansing

1. Salt and soda.

These two ingredients are most often used to make homemade facial scrubs. Moreover, you can use them either as a “duet” or each of them “solo”. The actual procedure is quite simple. Using a cotton pad soaked in either your favorite herbal (for dry skin type) or hydrogen peroxide solution (for oily skin), salt or soda is applied to the already prepared face. Or both, combined in equal proportions. For coarser peeling, you need to use coarsely ground salt; for gentle peeling, “fine-caliber” salt is suitable. For two to three minutes, gently wipe the problem areas of the skin with a cotton pad in a circular motion.

It should be noted that salt is a fairly strong “drug”, so it is recommended to use a soda scrub on a foam or gel wash already applied to the face. You can leave the soda-salt mixture for another three minutes, during which time you will likely feel a slight tingling sensation. Don’t be alarmed - this is how it should be, but if the tingling develops into a burning sensation, you don’t need to endure it.

2. Clay.

Cosmetic clay has an excellent effect for cleansing the face. You can buy it at a pharmacy or cosmetics store. Black clay is usually used to remove blackheads, but regular white clay will also work. I’ll say right away that clay has a pulling effect, that is, it seems to lift impurities and toxins present in the lower layers of the skin into the upper layers of the epidermis. You may notice pimples appearing, but they will go away after the third clay application.

So, dilute the mineral powder with water or herbal decoction to the consistency of thick sour cream, and then apply it to the face. You need to keep it for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. For greater effect, you can, as soon as the mask dries, massage your face a little with your fingers soaked in water. The clay will gradually begin to roll off, and the skin will begin to cleanse. Wash off the remaining product.

If your skin is too delicate, prepare the following composition: 3 tablespoons of clay, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of glycerin, if necessary, dilute the mixture with water to the desired consistency. It is important to know that you cannot mix the composition with a metal object. It's better to take a plastic spoon. This mask can be applied to cling film, in which you have previously made slits for the eyes and mouth. Put all this on your face and lie down to rest for half an hour. After the procedure, rinse thoroughly with warm water.

I talked in detail about how you can use clay for health and beauty in the article. If you have not tried making hair and face masks with clay, as well as using it for your health, I highly recommend reading the material. My daughters and I love clay. What types of clay did you buy, what did you do with it?

3. Bodyaga.

Another effective deep cleanser. However, it is quite strong, so those with very sensitive skin should not use it. To obtain a mask, mix bodyaga powder with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution until the consistency of a slurry. Apply the composition to the face, being sure to avoid the area around the eyes. Keep it on for 15 minutes, we also note burning and tingling among the effects, wash it off.

After using such a mask, you will see that your face turns red - this is a logical result, because bodyaga dilates blood vessels, but also pores. So all the accumulated dirt comes out of them. A couple of hours after using such a mask, peeling of the facial skin may occur. That's right, dead cells and impurities accumulated on the skin leave you.

My advice: Try making some text on your hands first. If bodyaga suits you, feel free to use it on your face.

4. Oatmeal, coffee grounds.

Among the products that can be used to cleanse your face at home are the familiar oatmeal. If your skin is dry, you can mix them with sour cream. Apply to your face for 20-25 minutes, before washing off the scrub - gently rub the skin with your fingertips in a circular motion, paying special attention to problem areas on the face - the wings of the nose, forehead, chin, the so-called T-zone.

Instead of flakes, you can use already used coffee grounds. Indeed, why should a natural product go to waste? Apply the grounds to your face and, enjoying the aroma, drink a cup of already prepared coffee.

Let me remind you once again that after any scrub and peeling you need to nourish and moisturize your skin with your favorite face cream.

I would also like to note that facial skin cleansing should be done no more than twice a week. Although it all depends on your skin type and its characteristics. However, regular use of the described procedures will not only save you from unpleasant formations on your face in the form of acne, but will also give your skin a matte appearance, making it smooth and radiant.

Home ultrasonic facial cleansing

When we decide to do facial cleansing at home, we are most often guided by considerations of economy. After all, visiting a beauty salon regularly is not cheap. Although hardware facial cleansing can only be done by a specialist and only with the use of special equipment, which is available in beauty salons and beauty parlors. Therefore, we choose a more accessible method from those described above.

But progress does not stand still, and today you can purchase a device for home facial cleansing and use it for its intended purpose within the walls of your own home. To be honest, I have no experience using such a miracle product. However, its growing popularity, backed by proven effectiveness, indicates that this device will soon become as common as a hair dryer or epilator. I have heard and seen such devices from friends. I just haven’t decided yet or haven’t yet fully imbued with its charms. I somehow prefer more conservative methods.

And now from me to you for the soul. Irina Bogushevskaya The keys are in your hands . In the video we see footage from the movie “Fan-Fan Scent of Love”. Music and performance of Irina Bogushevskaya's song.

I wish everyone to become the owner of such a key. Joy, beauty, harmony and just sunshine all around. We are having such amazing sunny days now. Just a miracle!

The facial cleansing procedure came to us many years ago. Today there are the latest techniques implemented in beauty salons.

But women are in no hurry to use the services of numerous salons; they want to achieve cleanliness of their face on their own, without the help of specialists.

Not every woman trusts specialists who call themselves professionals. Mistakes when working with delicate facial skin are costly.

Cases have been recorded when, after a salon cleaning, a woman did not recognize her reflection in the mirror. The face was covered with scars, small scars and “pits”. You should only trust trusted cosmetologists who have many similar procedures behind them; it makes sense to study reviews if the work of a particular specialist is described on the salon’s website.

By refusing salon cleansing for the sake of home cleansing, you take full responsibility for what is happening; it is worth learning the intricacies of facial cleansing yourself.

Before thoroughly cleansing your face at home, you need to make some preparations, namely, prepare the necessary products and tools. We will need:

  • A large container of hot water and two thick large towels;
  • Boiling water can be replaced with a healthy herbal decoction;
  • Alcohol or lotion with alcohol;
  • Peeling agent;
  • Cosmetic spatula and sterile bandage;
  • Tonic that tightens pores (it can be easily replaced with lemon juice diluted with water).

Now let’s look at the order in which we need to use what and why. Read more about this.

Do-it-yourself facial cleansing

It should be performed on a previously cleansed face. Then . Apply the scrub to damp skin with light, smooth movements, rub the product for one minute, no more.

To do the procedure yourself, you should have time. Facial cleansing at home takes quite a long time. After the scrub, you should start preparing the bath; it won’t take much time. You need to boil water in a container, at least two liters.

As already mentioned, cleansing is carried out using boiling water or a decoction of the following herbs: for dry and sensitive skin you need to brew rosemary, wormwood and yarrow, and for oily skin – chamomile and horsetail. Herbs have a beneficial effect, existing irritations are minimized, microcirculation improves.

The decoction is ready, you can start steaming. Bend over the dishes and cover yourself with a towel. The face will actively absorb all the steam, and in just a few minutes active sweating will begin. The steam bath will take about 10 minutes.

Any sweat that appears should be regularly blotted with a clean, soft towel or napkin. Do not rub your face; severe irritation may occur.

The pores have opened, it's time to start cleansing. Hands must be immaculately clean, treated with alcohol.

Watch this helpful video:

Black dots will be clearly visible on the face, which should be carefully removed with both hands. We narrow the pores with an alcohol-containing tonic or other special product. Rub the toner over your face with light movements, paying attention to the so-called T-zone. Do not wipe your face with a towel.

It’s easy to get an infection during the procedure, so you should take care of disinfection.

Several methods for blackheads

Some women believe that squeezing out blackheads can lead to dire consequences. How can you cleanse your face yourself and at the same time be gentle on the skin? There is an alternative to cleansing for this: cleansing masks.

It is worth noting that their effect is not as noticeable as the cleaning described above, but the effect on the skin is not so radical. Specialized stores sell patches that remove blackheads. This product is quite effective if the skin is steamed before use.

Effective ways to get rid of blackheads

Before cleansing your face, you should carefully examine your skin for the slightest damage. If you find acne, eczema and inflammation, give up such an idea so as not to further harm your delicate skin. Steam your face and wipe it with 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Clean your hands with alcohol. Make sterile napkins from gauze, wrap them around your fingers and squeeze the sebaceous glands, getting rid of sebaceous plugs.

For this you will need:

  • Herbal decoction for compress and gauze;
  • Olive oil and, if necessary, a paraffin mask;
  • 2 bowls, gauze swabs;
  • Hydrogen peroxide 3%;
  • Fine table salt "Extra".

It is better to pin your hair so that it does not interfere with the process. Treat yourself to a warm herbal compress. An oil mask is necessary for dry and sensitive skin. You can also use a paraffin mask, but first wipe your face with olive oil.

You will need 2 bowls. Pour 2 teaspoons of salt into one, pour warm water or peroxide solution into the other. Wrap a cotton swab in gauze, soak it in a bowl with peroxide, then with salt. Use a swab to wipe the problem areas. Do this for about 2 minutes.

A burning sensation may occur; in this case, rinse your face first with hot water and then with cold water.

The procedure can be repeated after a few days. It will take several weeks before you can cleanse your face of impurities in this manner again.

Vacuum cleaning

It is considered a popular procedure in beauty salons. But, it can be repeated at home, the main thing is the presence of a special electrical appliance. When doing the procedure for the first time, you should carefully study the rules of use.

The vacuum nozzle located on the device exerts negative pressure. The operation of such a device can be compared to a vacuum cleaner.

The principle of operation of the vacuum device is simple; you need to move the nozzle over the skin in a circular motion. According to the instructions, before the procedure you should apply the mask specified in the instructions. Cleaning is carried out along the massage lines.

You can use vacuum cleansing without first applying a mask; after the procedure, the skin is transformed and tightened, and a clear oval of the face is formed.

In order for the procedure to be effective and not cause harm to your skin, a certain sequence of actions must be followed, that is, the correct technique for performing it.

First of all, the skin is cleansed in the usual way: you can wash your face with neutral soap, for example, baby soap, or remove decorative cosmetics with a special gel, foam or milk. This preparation of the skin for deep cleansing is no different from that which precedes the application of a regular cosmetic mask.

A homemade cleanser for any skin type can be prepared by mixing three tablespoons of fresh apple juice, six tablespoons of whole milk and a tablespoon of liquid honey.

The next stage is exfoliation, that is, exfoliation, the purpose of which is to get rid of dead cells of the stratum corneum of the skin, which can clog pores and contribute to the appearance of acne.

To exfoliate, you need a scrub, which, by the way, can also be prepared in your kitchen:

  • grind (not to powder) in a coffee grinder half a tablespoon of oats and a tablespoon of unroasted almond kernels and mix with 1/4 teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of milk (if your skin is dry, add a few drops of olive oil);
  • mix puree from half a banana with a tablespoon of granulated sugar and a teaspoon of lemon juice;
  • mix dry cosmetic clay and ground dry medicinal plant (in equal proportions) with a small amount of water; for oily skin, nettle, calendula and linden flowers, birch buds and sage are best suited; for dry – chamomile flowers, oregano, horsetail, plantain. If you are prone to skin irritation, thyme, lavender, and sandy immortelle are recommended.

Treatment of the skin with a scrub is carried out in a circular motion, without excessive pressure. Places where blackheads accumulate can be additionally treated in the same way with baking soda or fine “extra” salt (by dipping a damp sponge in them). After this, rinse everything off with clean warm water and pat the skin dry.

The third stage of deep facial cleansing at home includes expanding the skin pores over steam; The “steam room” allows you to free up your pores, as all impurities go away along with the sweat released. The action of hot steam also helps to activate intradermal blood circulation and increases tissue metabolism.

The technique of steaming the skin is similar to inhalation: boiling water is poured into a bowl, which must be allowed to cool for a few minutes (so as not to burn your face with too hot steam), you need to bend over the bowl (at a distance of 20-25 cm from the water), cover your head with a towel and sit over bowl for 10 minutes. If the skin is sensitive, this time is limited to 5 minutes.

To enhance the effect, you can add some medicinal herbs (see above), dry green tea, or drop 3-4 drops of essential oil (rose, lavender, tea tree or rosemary) into boiling water.

After the steam room, dry the skin by blotting with a clean towel, wash your hands thoroughly (and additionally wipe them with vodka or chlorhexidine solution) and, wrapping your index fingers in a sterile bandage, press the skin on both sides of the comedone with your fingertips to remove it from the pore. It is recommended to treat the areas of removed blackheads with a pharmaceutical 1-2% alcohol solution of salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) or 3% peroxide solution. At the same time, these products provide a narrowing of steamed skin pores. For the same purpose, you can carefully, using blotting movements, treat the skin with a mixture of freshly brewed (cooled) green tea with the addition of natural apple cider vinegar (two tablespoons per standard cup). It is also recommended to rinse your face with cool water to close all the pores.

The procedure is completed with a moisturizing face mask or applying a moisturizer (since the skin has lost some of its moisture during steaming). It should be borne in mind that caring for oily skin requires no less moisturizing than caring for dry skin. Hydration of any skin type plays a vital role in the normal functioning of all layers of the epidermis and maintaining optimal collagen levels. In addition, lack of moisture in the skin provokes increased production of sebum, which clogs the pores.

Advantages and disadvantages

Deep facial cleansing at home has both advantages and disadvantages.

Among its undoubted advantages are its low cost (compared to the price of this procedure in salons), the ability to use natural products and the minimum of unpleasant sensations that may arise when working on your face in a beauty salon.

In addition, with home cleaning, the rehabilitation period - that is, the time during which the skin returns to normal after the procedure (possible redness or swelling disappears) is much shorter: instead of one or two days, several hours. Moreover, when cleaning at home, you do not need to immediately go outside (which cannot be avoided when visiting a salon).

By the way, during this “rehabilitation period” - at least for a day - you should stop using any decorative cosmetics.

The disadvantages include, first of all, undesirable consequences and complications - infection and subsequent inflammation. Although infection cannot be ruled out if the services of cosmetologists are used...

Facial rashes, blackheads and pimples are problems that require special attention. Dermatological disorders most often arise from poor nutrition, slagging of the body, chronic diseases, and poor ecology. Deep facial cleansing is a procedure that you can do yourself without resorting to the services of expensive beauty salons.

Why do they clean?

Most often, poor skin condition occurs due to improper care or irregular cleaning. Cleansing your face at home will help eliminate many problems and put it in order..

Exist various ways improve the condition of the epidermis. Most often, women use conventional care products: all kinds of tonics and washing gels. However, these products are not able to completely cleanse the inner layers and eliminate skin rashes.

Cosmetologists advise regularly cleansing your face after 20 years. To maintain youth and a healthy appearance for a long time, peeling should be carried out systematically.

According to statistics, acne affects 80% of all women. Their appearance is influenced by the environmental situation, lifestyle and general state health. Normal skin is capable of self-cleansing, but under the influence of unfavorable factors, hormonal imbalances, stress, the sebaceous glands produce excessive amounts of sebum. This leads to their inflammation, increase in size, and the formation of blackheads.

Deep peeling helps cleanse the entire epidermal layer and also affects the deeper layers of the dermis.

Thus, systematic cleaning:

  • activates the protective functions of the skin;
  • relieves rashes;
  • normalizes blood circulation;
  • stimulates regeneration processes and metabolism in the internal layers;
  • removes both superficial and internal contaminants, dead cells, and excess sebaceous secretions.

Most often, deep cleansing of the face is carried out in order to get rid of specific problems:

  • age-related changes;
  • deep wrinkles and folds;
  • all kinds of damage, scars, stretch marks;
  • excessive pigmentation.

This procedure is quite aggressive on the skin and is not suitable for prevention.

How to properly clean

How to do deep facial cleansing at home? The cleansing procedure is carried out following the basic rules, taking into account age characteristics and the condition of the epidermis. This is how you can improve appearance and excellent results.

Deep facial cleansing is carried out 1-2 times every 30 days. Carrying out procedures too frequently can cause inflammation and irritation of the surface layer of the skin.

Before the manipulation, you should carefully prepare. Most often, peeling is carried out after steaming the face: this makes it easier to remove some rashes.

Preparation for cleansing is carried out in several stages:

  • To avoid dirt and infection, first clean your hands with soap or a special solution.
  • For more effective cleaning, problem areas are cleaned with a scrub and rinsed with warm water.
  • To achieve enlarged pores, you should steam the skin using a herbal infusion. To do this, herbs, such as chamomile or calendula, are placed in a saucepan and brought to a boil, after which they are breathed over the container for several minutes.
  • After this, peeling begins.

You should not perform manipulation if there are cracks, wounds or pustules on the skin: it is better to wait for them to heal.

Inflamed comedones should not be squeezed out, as this can lead to the spread of the inflammatory process to other areas. Tea tree oil will help dry out acne quickly.

Mechanical cleaning can be carried out independently in the absence of serious damage to the epidermis. If you have increased oil content, clogged pores and purulent acne, it is recommended to entrust the peeling procedure to a specialist:

  • dry skin is cleaned once every 30 days;
  • oily – once every 7-10 days;
  • normal – once every 2 weeks.

Deep peeling is best done in the summer.

Basic cleaning methods

Deep facial cleansing at home can be done in several ways. Currently, any woman can purchase a special device for ultrasonic cleansing, as well as all kinds of care products. However, the simplest and most accessible are two methods: mechanical cleaning and masks based on natural ingredients.

Mechanical cleaning


Mechanical cleaning is the most effective method improve the condition of the epidermis from the first procedure

The resulting product will effectively clean not only the surface, but also the deep layers of the epidermis. The mixture should be kept for 30 minutes, then rinsed and lubricated with moisturizer.

Activated carbon

Activated carbon is one of the affordable and effective options for cleansing the face, which helps remove excess secretions and relieves inflammation.

Before cleaning, you must first steam the skin.

Charcoal with the addition of the following ingredients will help to effectively cleanse your face:

  • aloe juice;
  • sea ​​salt;
  • tea tree oil.

The charcoal is ground into powder, mixed with the other ingredients and applied to the face for 10 minutes.

Hardware methods


Vacuum cleaning is carried out for minor contamination, and also if the skin is not very dry.
. Using the device, you can draw out all the dirt, improve blood circulation, and smooth out wrinkles.

Ultrasonic cleaning acts on the epidermis using radio waves. This procedure helps open the pores, while contaminants are removed with a nozzle.

There are other methods of cleaning the face: antibiotics, chemicals, acids. However, folk cleansing recipes do not require special financial costs or time, and are also simple and accessible to any woman.

The question of how to clean your face at home is very popular among the fair half of humanity, since in this case large financial investments are not needed. Also, facial cleansing at home gives excellent results, not much different from the results after going to beauty salons.

Modern girls and women very often suffer from lack of sleep and stress, and eat the wrong foods. All this negatively affects the condition of their facial skin. As a result, the complexion becomes unhealthy, wrinkles, pimples, blackheads, and blackheads appear.

Sometimes, even when using expensive branded products, it is not always possible to achieve the desired result. In this situation, facial cleansing will help, which can be done not only in beauty salons, but also at home, without extra financial costs.

Tonic and foam cleanser do not help 100% get rid of blackheads that are located in the deep layers of the skin. As a result, dust and sebum accumulate in the pores, and the process of inflammation begins, which leads to the appearance of acne.

Deep cleansing of the facial skin will help remove dirt accumulated in the pores.

The advantages of this procedure are in the following:

  • germs will not penetrate the blood;
  • subcutaneous microcirculation will improve;
  • blood vessels will be effectively strengthened;
  • Contaminated pores will be gently and intensively cleansed;
  • inflammation will be relieved;
  • The protective functions of cells will be enhanced.
  • your complexion will take on a healthy, radiant look.

Cosmetologists recommend facial cleansing not only in cases of deep contamination, but also as a preventive measure, because every day our skin is exposed to external irritants: dirt, dust, sebum.
