Face scrub: gentle exfoliation for a radiant complexion

To have a luminous and radiant complexion, ultra-sparkling make-up jewelry is not enough. First of all, the skin must be thoroughly cleaned.

An action made possible thanks to scrub, a gentle exfoliation treatment for the body and face, also suitable for the most sensitive skin, but which we often underestimate. “Through a mechanical action, it cleans the skin of imperfections, dirt and pollution and promotes tissue oxygenation and the renewal of epidermal cells” he explains Debora Chinello, Training & Beauty Manager Pierre Fabre.

The upcoming holidays are certainly an excellent opportunity to be able to take better care of yourself and carve out beauty moments that we generally never manage to reserve for ourselves. So let’s start from the base, the skin of the face.

GOMMAGE: WHAT IT IS
«The gommage is an aesthetic treatment (usually in cream or gel), which has the characteristic of being more delicate compared to scrub: it is characterized by micro-granules or powders of vegetable origin and is aimed at the exfoliation of the face / body ».

HOW IT WORKS
“Through a mechanical action, cleanses the skin of imperfections, dirt and pollution and promotes tissue oxygenation and the renewal of epidermal cells, also avoiding the formation of comedones and blackheads. Thanks to its delicate action it is also suitable for the most sensitive skins, the only one attention is paid to skin with couperose: in that case the massage must be short so as not to further stimulate the circulation ».

HOW TO DO IT
«The gommage should be used constantly, at least once a week or once every 15 days. It should be applied after cleansing the face, spreading the product with circular movements on damp skin, massaging for 30-40 seconds and avoiding the area around the eyes and lips. Clean skin and particularly active cutaneous circulation will allow for better results ».

AFTER THE GOMMAGE
“Once the exfoliating massage has been performed, it is necessary to carefully rinse the face with warm water or cold water if you want to facilitate the closing of the pores. After the scrub we always recommend the application of a tonic, essential for restoring the physiological pH of the skin and a moisturizer to restore water to the tissues ».
