@helenapahavamethod: Our beautiful model, @signatureskincare_by_kateryna is a very talented Helena Pahava Method Certified Esthetician, located in 📍Colts Neck, New Jersey. I often post videos explaining the first cleanse in different ways, and in every training I describe it slightly differently. That’s because it’s an extremely important step it sets the tone for the entire facial and determines how well the whole treatment unfolds. We cannot overemphasize the importance of the first cleanse. This initial step must be done with very light hands so we do not disturb the lymph nodes or lymphatic vessels. If too much pressure is used during the first cleanse, those delicate vessels can collapse. And when they collapse, instead of moving fluid out of the face, they release lymph into the surrounding tissues, creating congestion. Once that congestion happens, proper drainage becomes impossible, and you will not see a noticeable difference at the end of the facial. The first cleanse must be light, quick, short, and gentle if a client is wearing makeup. Even then, remove it with great care, without pressing into the soft tissues. I use a generous amount of a hydrating cleanser, because once I remove it, I won’t be applying any product for quite a while—almost half of the facial. That’s why the cleanser has to be very hydrating. It should leave the skin soft, comfortable, and with a nice natural glide even after it’s wiped off. The second cleanse is a completely different story, but the first cleanse is what sets the tone for the entire facial. If we start correctly, we initiate the natural flow of the treatment and ensure that every step that follows becomes productive and effective. #helenapahavamethod #naturalfacelift #facial
