What is this tool
It must be said right away that the cosmetic loop is intended for the work of a specialist and at home can only aggravate the situation with the skin, but with the right approach, it can get rid of such problems that neither masks nor brushes can handle.

How to use the cosmetic loop
The first thing to do before cleaning the skin is the treatment of the instrument and the face. Wipe the cosmetic loop with a disinfectant, such as Biolong, and then treat your face with any antibacterial tonic.
Before proceeding directly to the procedure itself, you need to steam the skin and thereby open the pores. You can soak your face in a water bath, cleanse immediately after a hot bath or shower, or use a special warming mask.
Now bring the loop to the comedone, grab it inside and gently press on the skin. If the time has not cleared and a small white "worm" of sebum has not come to the surface, then move the loop to the side and repeat the procedure in this place.
To improve the effect and prepare the skin for cleansing, you can do a small peeling, but you should not choose products withcoarse abrasive particles, hard brushes and aggressive acids.
If you want to squeeze a pimple, then remember that you can only do this with mature pimples with a white "head". Initially, they need to be pierced with a sterile needle, you can use a syringe, and then gently squeeze out with a cosmetic loop. Treat this place with tea tree oil, which disinfects and dries well.
