Is combined facial cleansing really necessary for everyone?

In the age of social media and beauty bloggers, many consider themselves skincare experts. However, professional cosmetology is not just a set of procedures from TikTok. One of the most popular (and often unjustifiably self-prescribed) methods is combined facial cleansing. Let’s break down who it benefits and who it might harm.

What is combined cleansing?

t is a hybrid technique that combines:
✔️ Manual cleansing – removal of comedones and milia with fingers or tools.
✔️ Hardware treatment – ultrasound or vaporization to open pores.
✔️ Additional steps – peeling, masks, darsonvalization.

Procedure steps:

1. Makeup removal and gentle peeling.

2. Skin steaming (with a vaporizer or thermal mask).

3. Manual/hardware removal of impurities.

4. Disinfection (darsonval, antiseptics).

5. Soothing mask and finishing care.

Who is this cleansing suitable for?

✅ Oily and combination skin with blackheads and enlarged pores.
✅ Problematic skin with closed comedones (but without active inflammation!).
✅ For preparation for peels or other procedures.

When is cleansing contraindicated?
❌ Couperose and rosacea – thermal exposure will worsen vascular issues.
❌ Herpes, eczema, psoriasis – high risk of spreading infection.
❌ Active inflammation (acne) – mechanical impact can damage the skin.
❌ Allergy to components of the products used.

Important! Even if you have no obvious contraindications, cleansing should only be performed by a cosmetologist after diagnosis.

Alternatives to combined cleansing

If you have sensitive skin or contraindications, consider:
🔹 Ultrasound cleansing – a gentle option without steaming.
🔹 Enzymatic peeling – gentle dissolution of impurities.
🔹 Non-traumatic cleansing – without mechanical impact.

Combined cleansing is an effective method but not universal. It requires a professional approach and individual prescription.
