Warming cosmetics are designed to open the usually narrow pores of the dermis, to rid it of impurities on all layers, remnants of sebaceous secretions, surface dirt and dead cells. The composition of selected substances in a certain way is applied to the face in a heated form, all layers of the skin are heated, stimulating blood circulation. Due to the temperature and humidity, the keratinized upper layer is steamed out and then removed with a mask. The effect of such a procedure is not comparable with the usual daily cleaning.

Due to the elevated temperature, the exchange in the cells goes faster and nutrientscontained in the mask, much better and more efficiently absorbed. This treatment is indicated when age changes occur, as it stimulates the regeneration of the epidermis and the production of elastin and collagen fibers.

So, the warming mask has the following attractive properties:

• cleans the surface of the dermis and pores from the remnants of the secretion of sebaceous glands and accumulated dirt;
• improves oxygen exchange and the absorption of nutrients by the cells of the epidermis;
• improves elasticity skin and complexion;

The pore-widening procedure is indicated for dull, lifeless, and aged skin. Especially good results can be achieved with a course of ten to twelve applications. After that, it is better to rest the epidermis for several months.

For good performance of the composition of the mask, experts distinguish several stages of the procedure and advise to follow them:

1. Preliminary cleaning. Before applying the mask should be done cleansing the skin with a scrub. Or you can wipe your face with a spritterless tonic or chamomile extract.
2. Use a mask. The heated mass is distributed over the surface of the face, starting from the forehead area. Do not rush to apply the composition, check that it is not too hot, otherwise you can get burned. Wait for the mixture to get used to the temperature and then distribute it over the entire face, avoiding the areas around the eyes and mouth. Keep the tool on the dermis need about fifteen to twenty minutes. After that, if the skin is dry and the base of the mask is oil, the remnants can be wiped off with a napkin. Otherwise, rinse the product with a sufficient amount of running water.
3. After the procedure, you need to give the epidermis a rest. If there is a feeling of dryness or tightness, use a low-fat milk. Do not expose the skin to sunlight or mechanical scrubbing. It is better to carry out the procedure at night before bedtime.

By type of application, the following types of steam masks can be distinguished:

• Agent on the basis of tissue applied to the face after the tissue is moistened in the prepared and heated solutione. Due to the fact that even when the fabric base is covered with a film, it cools rather quickly, the fabric should be moistened several times during the procedure. Make sure that the base does not cool too much, otherwise the efficiency will decrease significantly.
• Cold steaming gels work a little differently.. They do not need to be heated, the thermal effect is achieved by mixing the substances that make up the composition. The most common basis of such funds is mustard powder, capsaicin, isolated from bitter pepper, saline or alkaline solution.
• Steam version is similar to the use of inhalation for the treatment of upper respiratory tract.. Essential oils, herbal extracts and other active substances are added to boiling or very hot water. Above the rising steam warm the skin. At the same time, the anti-cold action of such a procedure does not disappear anywhere. But this method is not recommended for people suffering from certain ailments, such as the proximity of the capillaries to the surface of the skin, high pressure, and some others.

The use of a warming mask for the age-related epidermis is recommended.which requires frequent updating and special stimulation for the correct work of the exchange of useful substances, blood circulation and cell division. In addition, the pore-widening mixture is shown to owners of oily skin. This type of dermis often forms sebaceous corks in the pores that need to be removed regularly. With the timely conduct of the procedure, it is an excellent prevention against the formation of pimples and black spots, and also regulates the work of the sweat and sebaceous glands.

On the skin affected by age-related changes, the pore-opening mask has a beneficial effect.

Due to this, it is possible to significantly reduce small wrinkles, restore facial contours and make it more even and elastic. The only negative point is that you can not apply such a tool to the skin around the eyes.

There are some features of the mask that you should pay attention to:

• Necessarily, as with the use of any cosmetics, test for an allergic reaction. The product may contain some active substances, which, due to heating, are particularly effective. And of course, these ingredients can cause allergic manifestations. On a small area of ​​skin, apply a small amount of the composition, after fifteen minutes, check for itching, redness or irritation. If the reaction is absent, you can carry out the procedure on the face.
• The procedure is contraindicated in case of capillaries located close to the surface of the dermis. After all, the hot composition will expand the vessels and make this cosmetic defect more pronounced.
• It is necessary to observe the schedule of use of masks. For dry type of epidermis, a course of ten procedures is recommended with a break of a week. And when bold - six procedures alternate with a two-week rest. Remember that too frequent warming up procedures can make the vessels brittle and disrupt the blood circulation.

Steaming out compositions are much more difficult to use at home than other cosmetic counterparts.. They have quite serious contraindications. Also, when warming up, inflammations sleeping until this time may appear on the skin. Fortunately, with regular and proper cleansing from this problem, you can get rid of, permanently giving the skin health and freshness.
