What to Pay Attention to in Facial Scraping
Selection of Scraping Board
In general, you should choose a scraping board with a smooth texture and a suitable size. It should fit the size of your palm and be easy to hold and apply force.
Maintenance Frequency
Because the skin on the face is delicate and the stratum corneum is thin, scraping too frequently may have a counterproductive effect. It is recommended to do it once or twice a week, for about 5 minutes each time.
Scraping Time
The best time to scrape is after taking a shower. Why? Because after showering, the body's circulation will speed up, and the detoxification effect of scraping will be better.
After scraping at this time, it can also relieve fatigue, improve sleep quality, and achieve optimal skin repair.
Control of Strength
Avoid scraping the face too quickly or too heavily, as this can easily damage the skin. The lymphatic circulatory system is slower than the blood circulation. The correct method is to scrape slowly and gently, achieving the promotion effect without causing any pain.
Pairing with Skincare Products
When scraping the face, it is recommended to use a lotion or cream-like skincare product or essential oil to avoid excessive friction and damage to the skin.
Pre and Post Maintenance
Before scraping, the face should be thoroughly cleaned. If you have makeup on, remove it first, and then wash the face with facial cleanser before scraping.
After the entire scraping process is done, clean the massage cream or scraping oil off the face with water again. Leaving them on the face for a long time may cause pore blockage.
