Vitex Black Clean
Price: from 90 rubles
This is a development from Belarusian cosmetologists - a cosmetic product in the form of a hardening film against blackheads with activated carbon (in the instructions it is indicated as bamboo charcoal). This is the main component that provides deep cleansing of pores and reduces the activity of sebaceous secretion. In combination with charcoal, burdock and neem leaf extract, mint oil and salicylic acid work actively.
The mask is really black. This is a liquid, slightly sticky mass, which, after being applied to the skin and interacting with air, turns into a very elastic film. It usually takes 20-30 minutes to completely harden. The product has an unpleasant chemical smell with a pronounced aroma of alcohol, which gradually evaporates during use.
Pros:
- effective composition, when used correctly, effectively cleans even deep pores;
- the film can be easily removed from the face and does not tear (provided that a sufficiently thick layer of product is applied);
- the skin after the procedure becomes velvety and matte;
- low price.
Minuses:
- unpleasant aroma;
- need to adapt;
- an abundance of alcohol dries out the skin greatly, which provokes active activity of the sebaceous glands.
According to experts, this mask is effective when used on pre-steamed skin. It is not necessary to distribute the composition over the entire face; it is enough to spread it on problem areas. By the way, if you make a thin layer, problems may arise not only with cleansing, but also with removing the film mask. Therefore, the layer should be of medium thickness. It is recommended to apply the mass in 2 stages. First, “drive” a small amount of the product into contaminated pores, then add a second layer and let it dry completely.
Secrets of using Pumpkin Mask
If the skin is oily, insensitive and not prone to irritation, and the blackheads are quite dense, there are several ways to enhance the work of the mask:
- Try applying the mask while taking a hot shower or bath. Warm water vapor further enhances blood circulation and promotes the opening of pores and deeper penetration of active substances.
- For those who do not like hot water treatments, apply a mask and cover with cling film on top. The greenhouse effect also makes the mask work more actively. You can apply the film only to problem areas: forehead, nose.
- After removing the mask, dense and large comedones may not dissolve, but will come out closer to the surface of the skin. Their delicate mechanical removal is allowed. Healing will go well if you do not apply unnecessary pressure when pressing; as a rule, dark spots are easier to remove. The mask promotes rapid skin regeneration.
Benefits of DermaQuest Pumpkin Mask
Dense comedones are difficult to remove by squeezing, and lotions and serums are not able to dissolve the dense contents of the pores.
The pumpkin mask has a steaming effect in combination with a comedolytic effect - deep cleansing without tramatizing the skin.
- According to the study, after 1 use: dissolves blackheads by 95% and works as a home peeling by 83%.
- Promotes healing and restoration of the skin due to natural Vitamin A.
- This is an effective home peeling that can be used independently. It is a professional product with a high concentration of active ingredients.
Why the Pumpkin Mask is so effective and provides deep cleansing of pores - the answer lies in its composition.
Composition of Pumpkin Mask
Indeed, the Pumpkin Mask is 50% pumpkin pulp, the properties and operation of which are described below. In addition to the pulp, it has an enriched acid composition and a professional pH, which allows you to achieve the stated results.
- 50% pumpkin pulp is a source of active ingredients for the skin: natural vitamin A, antioxidants, natural fruit acids and enzymes, pyrogens - substances that warm the skin, open and cleanse pores.
