Courses of throwing
Most women who turn to a beautician have a lot of questions about the “face brushing” procedure. What is it and how often should you return to it to maintain the result?
Mechanical cleaning is an easy procedure that does not carry a global burden on the skin. However, abuse can exacerbate many problems. Regular self-updatinglayers of the skin and the removal of the upper surface of the epithelium will lead to a decrease in the protective and regenerative functions of the body. Simply put, the face will become "lazy", stop regulating the water balance and the work of the sebaceous glands.
Seven or eight treatments are enough for a full course. Owners of oily skin can resort to brossage once every week, and women with dry and normal skin - once every two weeks. Between courses, you should pause for 3-4 months.

Cleaning machine
For throwing, a special mechanized device is used with nozzles that rotate automatically clockwise or in the opposite direction. The brush for face brushing is made from natural bristles, which gently cleanses the skin, does not fall off and does not remain on the face afterprocedures. Nozzles differ from each other in size, diameter and rigidity. Their choice depends on the type of skin, its thickness, condition and purpose of the procedure. In addition to brushes, there are pumice stones and sponges for polishing the face. During operation, you can increase the speed of rotation of the nozzles and the force on the skin.
Cleaning at home
Quite common questions: facial brushing - what is it and how to do it at home? The procedure is simple in technique and does not require special training. To achieve the best result, it is advisable to entrust the first cleaning to a specialist. However, you should get advice on your skin, because individual care may differ from the general one.
When home throwing, it is acceptable to use any brushes for the face. Some manage to clean the skin even with toothbrushes. In order to narrow the pores after the procedure, you can use an ice cube.
