Rules for using polysorb masks
For maximum effect, you must follow certain recommendations:
- Before applying the mask, you need to remove makeup, remove dirt and sweat with a cotton pad or wash.
- You can take a steam bath to better open the pores.
- To dilute Polysorb powder, use only boiled water; the consistency should be thick and pasty.
- Apply the composition for 10-15 minutes, making an indent of 1 cm from the hairline and avoiding the area around the eyes.
- After rinsing, use face cream according to your skin type.
- For dry skin, the procedure should be carried out once a week, reducing the time the mask is left on the face to 8-10 minutes.
- For oily skin, application 2 times a week is optimal.
A slight tingling of the dermis when using Polysorb is normal.
Application Tips

Who is it suitable for?
Masks that contain a drug such as Polysorb, with rare exceptions, are a universal means of caring for any skin.
They also have no age restrictions and are suitable for both young girls and older ladies. Girls with problematic epidermis, acne, pimples, blackheads and other unpleasant formations on the face will be especially delighted. They can also be recommended to those who simply want to refresh their complexion and give their skin elasticity.
Varieties of post-acne
In addition to atrophic scars - a type of post-acne, which we wrote about separately in another article, there are also post-inflammatory erythema and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Today’s article is devoted to these two phenomena.
Before talking about these unpleasant consequences, it is worth understanding where and why a pimple occurs in the first place. A pimple itself is an inflammation that the body does not allow into the blood, namely: at the site of infection, the capillaries narrow, then expand, building a dense defense of leukocytes. They fight infection, after which they restore damaged tissue and create new blood vessels. Visually the pimple goes away.
If the pimple is squeezed out, the natural healing process is disrupted. The infection can get into the blood, the probability of this is quite high. The vessels are certainly injured and leave marks.
Thus, post-inflammatory erythema occurs due to the accumulation of dilated capillaries, which could have been restored to a healthy epidermis if the pimple had not been pressed in this place. Most often, post-inflammatory erythema appears on light skin. Most Russians and Europeans who deal with the problem of post-acne are susceptible to it. Erythema appears as a pink, red, or purple patch left at the site of the pimple. The color is due to injury to the capillaries in the inflamed area. Sometimes erythema goes away on its own within six months, but not always - it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body.
Post-inflammatory pigmentation - brown spots. The color is due to the increased content of melanin, which occurs due to exposure of aggressive sun rays to unprotected, injured skin. Most often, dark-skinned and dark-skinned people, as well as women over 35 years of age, suffer from this disease due to endocrine changes. In most cases, the cause of pigmentation is inflammation of the papulopustular elements of acne, as well as scratching the area of squeezed out pimples.
