Gommage for face and body - peeling and scrabing in one face

Soft exfoliant, or peeling gommage - a means of a new generation, which combines the best properties of good old scrub and salon acid peeling.

The origin and purpose of gommage

The word "gommage" comes from France, literally means "eraser". Such a translation makes sense, since gommage for the face is designed to remove the upper layer of excess epithelium from the skin. These are impurities that have accumulated on the face for several days, its own desquamated cells, sebum, and the secret of the sebaceous glands. That is, all those particles that prevent the skin to shine and look young. There is also a gommage for the body - to the delight of lovers of SPA at home.

Gommage cream for gentle cleansing of the face and body usually contains:

• Acids;
• Moisturizing component;
• Very fine abrasive particles;
• Jelly base;
• Nutritious and soothing substances.

The role of "solvent" is performed by fruit acids, which gently renew the epidermis, and the mass, which hardens into a sticky film, helps to remove excess from the skin when rolling (rinsing).

Instructions: how to apply and remove gommage

Consider step by step how to make this useful update procedure to yourself. You can fit the application guide in three steps:

1. Steaming and moisturizing. As an option, sauna, hot bath or just an intense shower;
2. Gommazh skin: leave the tool for a period of 2 to 10 minutes;
3. Rolling or washing. You should not wait until the mass hardens completely, it should only be slightly grabbed. You need to roll up gently, holding the skin with your fingers, preventing it from stretching and deformation.

The above simple scheme is convenient because after this peeling the treatment procedure can and should be continued. Such a peeling will become a good base for applying a moisturizing cream or a mask rich in nourishing components. The skin is prepared, access to deep layers of the epidermis is provided.

When applied, mechanical massage occurs, gommage cream improves blood flow and promotes the process of self-renewal of the skin. Skin color is noticeably improved, the surface is smoothed, microscopic defects are smoothed.

The gommage for the body is characterized by a larger size of peeling particles; it may also contain more active solvent substances. Cleansing with gommage problem areas of the body also gives a small anti-cellulite effect.
