Skin cleansing removes impurities from the skin, detoxifies and oxygenates the pores, and aids in the renewal process. Even if the person does not have blackheads or pimples, pollution and climatic factors, along with the use of cosmetics [makeup products, sunscreen, anti-aging cream, etc.], leave the skin dull, devitalized, and looking tired.

For this reason, it is important to cleanse the skin periodically, respecting the skin’s revitalization cycle, which takes 28 days. The epidermis matrix cells [the most superficial layer of the skin] generate new cells that reach the surface during this period, making the cleansing action more effective.

1. Hygiene, performed with specific soap for each skin type;
2. Exfoliation, indicated to reduce the thickness of the most superficial layer of the skin, removes impurities and increases the permeability of the actives used in the procedure;

4. Extraction, through moderate pressure exerted with the fingers the beautician subtracts the comedones from the skin;
5. High frequency, when an antiseptic lotion is used [decreases the risk of infection] and then the high frequency is used to complement the asepsis [disinfection of the skin, leaving it free of germs and bacteria] and help close the pores and improve oxygenation, helping the healing process of the skin;
6. Hydration, to replace the water on the skin surface;
7. Finalization and protection, when a mask is used according to each type and need of the client’s skin. It is necessary to wait for the action time, remove the product, and apply the sunscreen.
