7 best gommage for the face

Gommazh, or, as it is often called, peeling-roll - a special kind of means for deep cleansing of the skin. As with scrub, its main function is to remove dead cells from the skin, clean pores, prepare for the use of active caring means. But, unlike the scrub, there are no active abrasive particles in the gommage, that is, it acts more gently. Classic gommage is applied to the skin, usually kept for 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations, and rolled up with your fingers (hence the Russian-language name - roll) along with sebum and dead skin particles that must be removed.

To make it clearer, what is the difference between a hommage and a scrub, we bring to your attention the table:

	Scrub	Gommazh
Composition	There are abrasive particles “scraping” the upper layer from the skin.	Exfoliating effect is mainly due to the chemical effects of enzymes or acids. If these components are not present in the composition, the exfoliation is due to the fact that the agent forms a thin film, which, when rolled, removes the "stuck" particles of the epidermis, sebum, and contamination.
Application method	Apply to washed wet skin, massage for 3-5 minutes, rinse	Apply on washed and towel-dried skin, hold for 5 to 20 minutes, roll with fingers, rub face with tonic
More suitable skin types	Young, dense, normal or prone to fat, not prone to rosacea, inflammation, irritation	Dry or dehydrated, aged, thin, sensitive, prone to rosacea

This is in theory. In practice, the line between gommage and scrub is increasingly erased, mostly due to cosmetics manufacturers, who often call gommage classic scrubs with abrasive particles, to emphasize their delicate effect on the skin. Therefore, composing our rating, we took the products, in the name of which there is the word “gommage”, without paying attention to their real principle of action. As a result, it turned out that only one of the seven means is a real, classic gommage.

And it just so happened that it became the leader of the rating.

Gommage Corps Cristaux Roses Coque D’argan Charme D'Orient

Rating: 4.8

This gommage intended for the body. His Brand Charme d'Orient, translated into Russian -

The charm of the East - specializes in luxury care.

The peeling effect is created by powdered shells of argans; therefore, it is still somewhat wrong to call the agent a hommage. It actively nourishes the skin - argan and coconut oils are responsible for this, which, among other things, smooth fine wrinkles. Provides soft peeling, the skin becomes smooth and delicate.

Lysedia Liftage Gommage Visage Eclat Lumiere

Rating: 4.8

Judging by the instructions for use, which proposes to apply the product on cleansed skin, hold, massage and rinse, we have another scrub disguised as a fashionable name. On the other hand, the diamond powder in the composition provides a really delicate exfoliation and does not scratch the skin, leveling its relief. Hyaluronic acid in the composition of the product moisturizes, white lily extract evens the complexion, improves microcirculation and has powerful antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from aging. To these ingredients could prove themselves, the tool is recommended to hold on the skin for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.

Cattier White Clay Gommage

Rating: 4.5

This French tool will please the girl who prefers natural formulations. The basis of gommage is white clay, which perfectly adsorbs sebum. Scrubbing particles are also natural - from bamboo. They are few, but girls with sensitive skin complain that the scrubbing particles are quite prickly. Lactic acid provides gentle peeling, jojoba oil nourishes, lavender and aloe extracts have anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Suitable for owners of normal and combination skin - dry and sensitive can scratch, and for oily is too soft

Phytomer Purifyng Gommage Exfoliant

Rating: 4.4

This gommage, perhaps. the most minimalist of all of them in our rating. The base of white clay is added to the particles of seaweed Litotamnum Kalkareum, which for the most part consists of calcium. In addition, it contains phosphorus. fluoride, magnesium, which soothe the skin. For this, as well as for the minimum amount of ingredients, gommage can be recommended to owners of sensitive skin and girls prone to allergic manifestations.

Gommazh face "Moisturizing" Dr. Konopka’s

Rating: 4.3

The composition of this tool - 20 plant extracts and oils, including shea, flaxseed, rosehip oil, chamomile hydrolat, yellow water lily extract, hyssop, violets ...

On the one hand, fans of natural cosmetics will like it. In addition, this variety of components will provide a wide range of caring properties - from traditional moisturizing and nutrition to anti-inflammatory effect.

On the other hand, for girls who are prone to allergies, such a list of herbal ingredients can present an unpleasant surprise - contrary to current beliefs, “natural” herbal compositions are much more allergenic than their “chemical” ones, that is, isolated and carefully purified analogues. Therefore, we would recommend that people with atopic dermatitis and people who are just prone to allergies should use this tool with extreme caution.

Gommazh soft face "Morning Coffee" ORGANIC SHOP

Rating: 4.2

Supereconomic tool of domestic manufacturers. A soft scrub, where ground coffee is used as an abrasive component, the particles of which are rather large. Another scrubbing element is konjac root powder, which not only gently removes dead particles, but also absorbs sebum. Strengthens the peeling, "degreasing" and anti-inflammatory effect of salicylic acid. So for dry and aged skin, such active removal of sebum may be excessive.

The tool will appeal to admirers of natural compositions: it will gain white clay, the already mentioned coffee and konjac root, olive oil, macadamia, green coffee, lemongrass. There are no parabens in it.

There are a lot of rave reviews from young girls with oily skin, but we still would not advise mature ladies to experiment with this drug: hard scrubbing particles can injure sensitive age-related skin, and such active removal of sebum usually is no longer necessary.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we would like to remind you that neither gommazhi nor scrubs are recommended for girls with acne, because during the massage germs are spread from the foci of inflammation. Even with the use of soft gommage in this way it is possible to increase the number of inflammations, not to mention the hard scrub, after which micro-scratches inevitably remain, where microorganisms multiply especially actively. For deep cleansing of the skin with inflammatory elements, masks-films or masks with acids are much better suited.
