Biological sea salt sandblasting is a non-invasive care method that has been widely used in the field of skin management in recent years. It mainly uses natural sea salt particles to gently scrub the skin surface under the action of specific instruments to achieve the purposes of cleaning, exfoliating, and improving skin texture. Its principle is similar to microcrystalline grinding, but it is less irritating and suitable for a wider range of people, especially for those with sensitive skin or those seeking a low-irritation care experience. In order to obtain ideal care effects and minimize adverse reactions, it is particularly important to understand the precautions after biological sea salt sandblasting.
1. Biological sea salt sandblasting principle and indications
Biological sea salt sandblasting mainly uses physical methods to perform superficial cleansing and exfoliation of the skin. Sea salt is rich in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals. It has the effects of gently exfoliating, regulating water and oil balance, and promoting skin metabolism. With the assistance of professional instruments, tiny sea salt particles are evenly sprayed on the surface of the skin under the action of air pressure, removing old dead skin cells and sebum deposits, and improving clogged pores and dull skin tone.
Indications include:
①, Rough skin and thick stratum corneum;
②, There are many acne, closed comedones and blackheads;
③, Mild pigmentation;
④, Excessive oil secretion and enlarged pores;
⑤. Those who are not suitable for chemical peel or laser treatment.
2. Immediate reaction and changes in skin condition after care
After completing the sandblasting treatment, most people may experience mild redness, burning or tightness. These are normal reactions and generally resolve within a few hours. The skin's stratum corneum becomes thinner in the short term, and the barrier function to external stimuli is temporarily reduced, requiring enhanced protection and moisturizing.
3. Key points of care after biological sea salt sandblasting
1. Avoid sun exposure
Direct sunlight must be strictly avoided within 48 hours after the treatment. Due to the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, the skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays and is prone to pigmentation. It is recommended to wear a sun hat and sunglasses when going out, and use a physical sunscreen with SPF30 or above and PA+++.
2. Enhance moisturizing and repair
After the care, the skin barrier is in a slightly damaged state, so you should choose mild, alcohol-free, fragrance-free restorative moisturizing products, such as skin care products containing ceramide, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, Centella asiatica extract and other ingredients, which can help relieve dryness, tightness and sensitivity.
3. No irritating skin care or cosmetics
Avoid using fruit acid, salicylic acid, and retinoic acid products within three days after sandblasting. Also avoid using products with high levels of alcohol, fragrances, and preservatives to avoid aggravating skin irritation. It is also recommended to suspend the use of makeup to allow the skin to be in a natural, recoverable environment.
4. Don’t wash your face too often
It is recommended to control the frequency of washing your face to 1-2 times a day. The water temperature should be close to body temperature. Avoid scalding with hot water. Use amino acid or mild cleansing products for babies. Avoid frictional makeup removal and wiping.
5. Avoid scratching and peeling dandruff
Some people may experience slight desquamation or itching after treatment. They should avoid touching or peeling with their hands to avoid delayed barrier repair or secondary infection.
6. Reasonably arrange the frequency of sandblasting
Although sea salt sandblasting is less irritating, it is still a shallow physical grinding operation. It is generally recommended to wait 7-14 days between each operation, depending on the skin's tolerance. It should not be done too frequently. For sensitive skin with thin cuticles, once a month is appropriate.
IV. Possible risks and countermeasures
Although biological sea salt sandblasting is a relatively safe non-invasive treatment, there is still a risk of individual adverse reactions, including skin allergies, inflammatory reactions, temporary pigmentation, etc. If obvious redness, swelling, itching, blisters or pigmentation occur, the skin care procedure should be stopped in time and medical treatment should be sought. If necessary, anti-inflammatory, anti-sensitive ointments or oral antihistamines should be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
5. Analysis of suitable population and contraindications
