We prepare acne scrubs at home. Is it possible to use a scrub for acne or is it better to avoid this procedure? Is it possible to scrub acne?

Caring for problem skin

If your skin is problematic and prone to acne, care should be taken especially carefully.

There are many different products - creams, washing gels, foams, masks, lotions, tonics, gommages, peelings, scrubs. We will pay special attention to the latter.

Our skin is divided into main types: normal, oily, dry, combination. People with oily skin are more likely to be upset by the appearance of acne.

Of course: increased sebum secretion and enlarged pores provoke facial pollution.

Under the layer of sebum, dirt, germs, dead scales and cosmetic residues accumulate - as a result, the pores become clogged and acne appears.

Therefore, this type of skin needs to be very thoroughly cleansed to help it get rid of dead cells. In such cases, it is recommended to use scrubs. In addition to the main function - cleansing - they get rid of acne.

Tips and tricks

• Take your choice of scrub seriously. If the product contains substances that do not inspire confidence in you, you should not take the risk. Better choose another option.
• Before applying any scrub, first check it for possible allergic reactions. Apply a small amount to your wrist or inner elbow.

• Before applying the scrub, you need to cleanse your facial skin. You can use a steam bath to help expand the pores.
• For people who have large areas of inflammation or purulent pimples on their face, the use of the scrub is contraindicated.
• The scrub is applied along massage lines using rubbing movements. It is recommended to start treatment from the T-zone and nose. There is no need to apply the product to the skin around the eyes. Then, using circular movements, you need to carefully treat your cheeks and chin, paying special attention to them.
• It is recommended to remove mixtures with clean filtered water or herbal decoction. Additionally, some people use skim milk. In this case, any liquid should not be cold. The product is washed off gradually, also using circular movements to stimulate blood circulation. Neither hot nor cold water should be used.
• At the end of the procedure, you need to apply a drying or anti-inflammatory cream to your face.
• If you have oily skin, avoid using facial scrubs more than once or twice a week. If you use one of the scrubs for a long time, your skin may get used to it. Therefore, regularly change the composition of the product. It is advisable to change one scrub to another every 10 procedures.

How to choose

Before purchasing, carefully study the composition.

The effectiveness is evidenced by the presence in the product of such components as salicylic acid, activated carbon, natural clay, healing mud, herbal and plant extracts.

It is better that these substances are not listed at the end of the composition - this means that they are contained in low concentrations. The first five positions of the composition are the most effective, the first ten deserve close attention.

It is very important what the scrubbing particles are made of and what size they are. As an example, let's compare Russian and French scrubs.

In these products, the active ingredient is the same - crushed apricot kernels, in “Clean Line” they are quite coarsely ground, and in “Yves Rocher” they are crushed to the finest powder.

Judging by the reviews on the Internet, the first product is more suitable for scrubbing the feet (which it does successfully), but for the face it turned out to be too rough. The second product delicately cleanses the skin of the face.

Why do you eat your face scrub?

So, we figured out how a scrub works and looked at the ingredients that serve as scrubbing particles in scrubs.

As with all other cosmetic products, so do scrubs - the composition of products from the natural organic segment of cosmetics differs from scrubs of conventional cosmetics. Manufacturers of natural organic cosmetics most often use salt, rice flour, sugar or apricot kernels as scrubbing particles in their scrubs.

Manufacturers of conventional cosmetics almost always add microplastics to skin scrubs as a scrubbing agent - these are small, small balls that should gently scrub your skin without injuring it. And everything would be fine, but over time it was discovered that this microplastic is not at all as innocent as it seems.

Just imagine this situation. You go to the store and buy a facial scrub, say from Garnier. Come home, spread it on your face, scrub, and rinse off. The remains of the scrub go down the drain, and you conveniently forget about it all. And thus the waste water, passing through the purification filters, is purified. But it’s bad luck, since the size of microplastic is so microscopic (sorry for the pun), it cannot linger in wastewater treatment plants and thus ends up in natural bodies of water and spreads everywhere. Bees, collecting pollen, capture microplastics, which then end up in honey; cows, chewing grass, also chew microplastics, which then end up in the milk; fish in the water ingest microplastics that remain in their bodies.

Thus, microplastics end up on your table. Roughly speaking, you eat your scrub)))

The Federal Environmental Agency analyzed 19 different brands of honey, and microplastics were found all!!!

Of course, microplastics are found not only in facial scrubs, but most often these are products with scrubbing particles, be it peeling, washing gel, face masks or toothpaste.

How to determine the presence of microplastics in your products? In the list of ingredients, pay attention to the following words:

• Polyethylene (PE)
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Polyethylenterephthalate (PET)
• Polyester; Polyester-1; Polyester-11 (PES)
• Polyurethane; Polyurethane-2; Polyurethane-14; Polyurethane-35 (PUR)
• Polyamid; Nylon-12; Nylon-6; Nylon-66 (PA)
• Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymere (EVA)
• Polyimide; Polyimid-1 (PI)

Cosmetic products containing microplastics

Health risks from microplastics

Once in the water, microplastics absorb substances that are suspected of changing human hormonal levels or even causing cancer . For example, fire retardants, dyes or organic chlorine compounds. And since microplastics then end up on our table with honey, milk or fish, these harmful substances enter our body along with them.

At the moment, health problems caused by microplastics have not yet been scientifically proven. But only because humanity encountered this problem relatively recently. One thing is clear: in experiments on mollusks, it was clear that microparticles remain in the tissues, where they cause inflammation over time.

Therefore, if you still need a facial scrub, I strongly recommend reading the ingredients and choosing scrubs from the natural organic cosmetics segment.

Let's move on directly to testing the products so that based on the results you can choose the best facial scrub for yourself.

An amazing organ is our skin. It consists of a large number of cells that change and renew themselves at an amazing speed. Millions of skin flakes fall off every day to make room for new ones.

If we were to see this process under a microscope, it would look like a continuous fall of tiny dust.

That is why you need to carefully care for your facial skin and not neglect daily cleansing procedures.

Branded cosmetics

Scrub properties

Simply washing your face is not a sufficient measure to cleanse the skin and get rid of inflammatory formations. Even cleansers are not able to remove fat plugs from deep pores. The only effective home way to combat acne is scrubbing.

The scrub has the following properties:

• intensively exfoliates dead skin particles;
• frees deep pores from fat accumulation;
• moisturizes, saturates with nutrients and oxygen;
• makes the skin smooth and tightened;
• improves blood circulation in skin tissues;
• improves complexion.

To get a positive result, you need to treat your skin with a scrub correctly. Scrubbing includes the following steps:

1. Before the procedure, the face is steamed to open the pores.
2. The drug is applied to problem areas, gently and slowly rubbed into the skin in a circular motion.
3. The product is washed off with slightly warm water.
4. After cleansing, be sure to use a nourishing cream.

Scrub for dry skin - choice and rules of use

Date: 11-11-2014

In order for the skin to remain smooth and soft, you need to periodically help it renew itself. This process is laid down by nature itself and involves exfoliation of dead cells of the upper layer of the epithelium. But it often happens that dead pieces from the surface do not go anywhere and prevent healthy ones from breathing and letting moisture through. This is why you need a scrub, to easily and effortlessly cleanse your body.

Dry skin is a very problematic phenomenon. The use of scrubs in this case should be minimal, and they should be selected very carefully. The causes of dry skin can be damage in the middle layers of the epithelium, disturbances in the water-salt balance of cells, or various diseases. With all this in mind, you need to choose your skin care products wisely.

The action of the scrub is aimed at mechanically cleansing the skin. It can and even in some cases should be used not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. By massaging the surface, we thereby improve blood flow, making the skin glow and have a natural color. Purified cells regenerate faster, are saturated with oxygen and water, which means they live a full life, protecting the body from diseases and damage.

Rules for using the scrub

For face

In beauty salons, I specially teach all the masters the technique of applying a scrub. It is only at first glance that everything seems simple. The main key to success is not only the material and composition of the product, but also the technique of its influence on certain points. In order to perform the procedure correctly, you will need to follow several rules. When applying, you need to use two fingers: middle and index. It is completely inconvenient to cleanse with one finger; the surface area of ​​the girth is significantly reduced, and even with dry skin, you may not be able to calculate the force of pressure. And the whole palm is uncomfortable. Too much product is used, and most of it just stays on the hand without transferring to the face.

So, you need to take a few grams of scrub and start applying it on your face in a circular motion with two fingers of one hand.
The route of movement is as follows: you need to start from the middle of the forehead and move first to the right, then to the left temple. Further along the cheekbone from the corners of the mouth to the temples. Be careful with your cheeks. For dry skin, this is the most tender place. From the chin, the hand should be led to the earlobes. Do not allow the product to come into contact with the area around the eyes or directly into them. This is fraught with the occurrence of conjunctivitis. Don't forget about your neck and décolleté. Often people forget that these delicate parts also require care, and it is very ugly when the face is well-groomed and smooth, but the neck is wrinkled and ugly. For the body
When you have dry skin, it's not just your face that suffers. You can often notice peeling on the legs, arms and even the stomach. These areas also require peeling. Cleansing should be done no more than once a week in order to reduce disturbance to already weakened skin. Apply the scrub with four fingers of both hands. This will speed up the process, because the surface to be treated is quite large. It is better to start the procedure from the heels, gradually rising up. Particular attention should be paid to the knee and popliteal area. Sweat and fat accumulate there, which cannot always be washed off. The scrub will clean this surface better than any other product. Next is the area of ​​the hips and abdomen. Hands should also be exfoliated. They are most exposed to the negative effects of chemicals, wind, frost and other unfavorable factors. Rub the phalanges of your fingers well, and then the inner and outer surfaces of your palms.

Dry skin should not be cleaned with brushes, rough scrubs, stones or other objects. The skin is already very delicate and sensitive, and such rough influence can lead to even worse consequences.

Composition and effect of scrub for dry skin

Remember that dry skin is like a baby's skin. Improper care can lead to the emergence of new diseases, allergic reactions or serious damage to cell functions. This type of cover is characterized by frequent damage, the appearance of cracks and wrinkles, peeling and a feeling of tightness. The peeling agent must be selected very carefully. It must contain cream. This is its basis and mandatory component. Avoid large particles such as grape or apricot seeds, grains of salt and sand. These are all rough materials that will only increase the chance of microcracks appearing.

There is a lot of material on the basis of which you can prepare a scrub according to folk recipes. It could be: coffee, honey, oatmeal, cream, fruit. A good assortment is presented in beauty salons. You can also be confident in them. Most companies that position themselves as quality companies that stand behind their products conduct trial testing to determine whether a given type of product is right for you or not. Now there is no point in listing all the offers of manufacturing companies, but it can be noted that “ultra-nourishing” scrubs from L’occitane, which are suitable for caring for the whole body, for the “Sulfur” shower from Lush and others are in great demand.

Homemade scrubs for dry skin

When making scrubs at home, you need to know its two main components. The first is a soft and gentle base, and the second is an abrasive agent for exfoliating the skin. As mentioned earlier, it should not be coarse and should be kept in the form of large grains.

You need to dilute the product in a small amount so that it is enough for one application. If you do more, you will have to store it until the next time, and after a while the product may simply deteriorate or lose its healing effect. Here are several recipe options.

1.
Sugar. To do this, you need to take any fermented milk product in the amount of 200 grams.
It could be sour cream or cream. For this amount add 5 tbsp. sugar and stir. Sugar in this case will perform the function of cleansing, and sour cream will serve as moisturizing. Apply to skin and rinse. 2. Fruity. Any fruit can be used as a fruit base. Apple, banana, kiwi work well. Semolina can be added to them as an abrasive. You need to apply the mask for several minutes until the semolina swells and loses its cleansing properties.

3 . Oatmeal based. It is better to take fine-grained porridge or crush large flakes. Add to them the grapes ground into pulp along with the seeds. Berries are generally very beneficial for dry skin. They contain a lot of glucose, which nourishes cells and restores water-salt balance.

4. With raspberries . Mash ripe and juicy raspberries and add a little cream and sugar to them. The berry seeds will help exfoliate the skin, and the sour cream will moisturize it. Leave it on your face for a while, massage it, and then be sure to wash it off.

5. Based on figs . If you have the opportunity to purchase this berry, feel free to choose it for a scrub. There are a lot of vitamins in figs, and there are also soft small seeds. To prepare the product, you need to soak 1-2 berries in a glass of milk, leaving them in this state overnight. In the morning, grind into a paste and apply to face or body.

6. With carrots . As you know, this vegetable contains a lot of vitamin A. In addition, such peeling can give the face a slight tan or simply add color to pale cheeks. For the scrub, one small fresh carrot, grated on a fine grater, is enough. Add oatmeal or semolina to it. Pour in a small amount of milk to obtain a thick consistency. Apply to the surface of the skin, massage and wash with warm water.

If you want, then, of course, you can go to any cosmetic store and, with the help of consultants, choose a product that is suitable for your skin. As recommendations, you can listen to several tips. First, don’t buy a large tube right away. Take a small one and try it on the most sensitive areas. If everything went well, there were no allergies or rashes, the product can be continued to be used. Don't buy scrubs that are too expensive. In most cases, they have the same composition, but the price depends on the brand. And choose an option only with natural ingredients, which contains less “chemicals”.
