What is facial brushing and what is this procedure for?

Face brushing - what is it?

Brushing is a word from the English dictionary and means cleaning with a brush, which characterizes the procedure itself. This is a facial treatment with a special device with attachments in the form of brushes - its second name is brossage and this is one of the types of hardware peeling.

Benefits of the procedure

In its classic version, the procedure has the following advantages over other cleansing procedures:

• unlike peeling with chemical compounds, it causes less trauma to the skin, and any redness that occurs goes away after a few hours;
• does not require large sums of money to visit the salon and have it performed by a specialist, and if you decide to do it at home, then the device itself is affordable and will last a long time, provided that the attachments are regularly changed;
• During the procedure, dead cells are mechanically “removed” from the upper layers of the epidermis and a massage is performed at the same time.

All this will cleanse the skin, increase blood flow and saturate cells with oxygen and lymph. And in terms of existing contraindications, there are much fewer of them than with other peelings.

Types of brushing

It is carried out using a special apparatus and manually, with brushes - there is not much difference in this. The only thing is that in the device you can individually adjust the speed of rotation of the nozzle, and carry out the procedure without much effort.

Brush brushing is carried out manually using special brushes, when the cosmetologist himself regulates the strength and intensity of pressure.

On special websites you can find a gel type of brushing, but as many cosmetologists note, this is more of a move by marketers than a full-fledged and independent procedure. This type of brushing exists, but masters do not carry it out using a special technique or other devices and attachments.

During the procedure, a special cleansing or cooling gel is used. In this case, it is worth noting that there is also a dry type of brushing - it is carried out without any gels or compositions.

Rules for healthy skin

• 3-phase care morning and evening (washing, toning, moisturizing)
• Choose products based on your skin type and age. In various price categories it is possible to find products that are suitable for you.
• Quit smoking and alcohol
• Adjust your diet
• Take your vitamins
• Do not be in direct sunlight. Be sure to apply sunscreen on your face with an SPF of at least 30

Brushing (or brossage) is a hardware peeling that allows you to cleanse the skin at a deep level using specialized products (pumice stones, sponges, attachments). The facial brushing device is selected taking into account the age and skin type.

Contraindications to the procedure

Each cosmetic procedure has its own indications and contraindications, and brossage is no exception:

1. The patient has increased dry skin and excessive sensitivity of the dermis.
2. Couperosis diagnosed in the patient at the site of the cleansing procedure.
3. Diagnosed active inflammatory processes on the dermis, a large number of acne and skin diseases, such as herpes.
4. Pregnancy, as well as lactation, although no compounds are used during the procedure, it is unknown how pain can affect the patient’s condition.
5. A decrease in the patient’s immunity, which is reflected in the activation of chronic pathologies and viral infections, and an increase in body temperature.

All this should be taken into account when choosing this skin cleansing procedure.

Contraindications

The cosmetic procedure is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this period, a woman's hormonal background changes greatly. Therefore, the results of mechanical facial cleansing can be unpredictable.

People with sensitive facial skin or significant age-related changes should avoid brushing. Mechanical cleansing can speed up the aging process of the skin. The cosmetic procedure is contraindicated if there is damage or irritation on the face.

Important! Facial brushing should not be done if the patient has eczema or demodicosis. With demodicosis, the surface of the skin is affected by a small mite. The disease is accompanied by symptoms such as itching and severe redness of the face.

Procedure for face brushing

To become more familiar with the procedure itself, it is important to understand how it is carried out by a specialist.

Next, we will analyze all the main stages of this cosmetic procedure:

• Preliminary stage. In this case, we are talking about cleansing the face of cosmetics, remaining dust and dirt. At the same time, for greater effectiveness of the procedure, it is worth steaming your face and applying a fine peeling or cleansing composition in the form of an emulsion to the skin.
• Next comes the cleansing procedure itself - the cosmetologist goes over the skin with a nozzle, moving along the massage line, without lingering or stopping on one area of ​​the dermis for more than 30 seconds.
• Completion of the procedure - after fermentation, the cells become maximally susceptible to the positive effects of care products. Therefore, at the end, a nourishing or moisturizing mask is applied to the skin.

The session takes the master and the patient 5-15 minutes, and does not cause any unpleasant/painful sensations. Often there may be some discomfort caused by discomfort due to the intense blood flow to the dermis.

Skin care after the session

After the session, no special care is required - the client can continue to use cosmetics and decorative products, and continue to lead his usual lifestyle and rhythm of life. But on the first day after the procedure, you should avoid using cosmetics until the skin recovers.

Pros and cons of brossage

Brossage in cosmetology is quite popular and in demand among clients. This became possible thanks to several undeniable advantages:

• effective and gentle effect on the skin. The villi deeply cleanse the skin, acting gently and gently. After casting, there are no scratches or damage left on the surface of the face;
• affordable price. The average cleaning price is $10 (the cost depends on the salon’s pricing policy);
• no contraindications to frequent use. You can come for facial cleansing once a week. There is no need to recover after the procedure.

The disadvantage of the procedure is that the result is short-lived. The freshness of the skin remains for a week, after which you need to come back for repeated cleaning, you can perform atraumatic cleaning.

Cleaning at home

If you don’t want to spend money on a procedure in a salon and pay for it, you can purchase a device for home beauty sessions.

Choose the simplest model for yourself and select several attachments:

• When steaming, use a scrub or alcohol lotions, although as an option, just steam it over hot water or a decoction of medicinal herbs.
• Always monitor the speed/intensity of the nozzle – this will allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of hardware cleaning and select the optimal operating mode.
• You should not conduct more than 2 sessions per week. In a short period of time, the dermis will not have time to recover, and you will only cause harm.
• If the dermis has lost its elasticity, the rotation speed of the nozzle should be minimal.

And keep the attachments clean - they come into contact with the skin, remove the top layer, and if there are germs on them, it will only get worse.

Reviews

Most women who have tried the procedure confidently recommend facial brushing. The reviews are almost unanimous - the result is noticeable after the first cleaning. The skin becomes fresher and more pleasant. The face is more receptive to daily care.

There are also disadvantages to the procedure - its relative effectiveness. In case of severe contamination, with increased pigmentation and deep wrinkles, brossage is practically useless. In other cases, mechanical cleaning is convenient, simple and safe, which is its undeniable advantage.

Results and required number of sessions

After a hardware peeling session, the skin is smoothed, takes on a fresh appearance, cellular respiration improves and the production of its own collagen is stimulated. The depth of wrinkles decreases, and age-related changes become less pronounced. Thanks to the discoloration of age spots, a healthy complexion is restored.

For greater effectiveness and consolidation of the result, peeling is recommended to be carried out in courses. Its duration and frequency are determined by skin type:

• with the normal type, brushing should be done once a month;
• for dry skin – no more than 2 times a month;
• for oily and combination skin conditions – 2 to 3 times a month;
• if problematic - weekly.

It is noteworthy that after brushing, no lifestyle restrictions are required. You can visit the solarium, swimming pool, sauna or gym. There is also no need for additional care in the form of specialized products.

How does the session work?

First, you need to thoroughly cleanse your skin of decorative cosmetics. After this, the cosmetologist selects the appropriate attachment and adjusts the device taking into account your skin. Applying a warm compress is an important step in cleansing. It determines how deep the impact will occur. The master treats the face with smooth movements using the device. At the end of the session, moisturizer is applied. You can buy brushing in St. Petersburg for 2,500 rubles (the cost of one procedure).

3. Stone – polishes the skin.
4. Penza - includes all of the above points.

The cosmetologist selects the type of attachment based on the condition and sensitivity of the skin. Immediately before starting the natural brushing procedure, you can get a free consultation from a specialist at the Provence cosmetology clinic.
