7 best face gommages

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

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

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

	Scrub	Gommage
Composition	There are abrasive particles 'scraping' the top layer from the skin	The exfoliating effect is mainly due to chemical action: enzymes or acids. If these components are not in the composition, exfoliation is due to the fact that the product forms a thin film, which, when rolled, removes the 'stuck' particles of the epidermis, sebum, and impurities.
Application method	Apply to washed, damp skin, massage for 3 – 5 minutes, rinse	Apply to washed and towel-dried skin, soak for 5 – 20 minutes, roll up with your fingers, rub your face with tonic
Suitable skin types	Young, dense, normal or greasy, not prone to rosacea, inflammation, irritation	Dry or dehydrated, age-related, thin, sensitive, couperose-prone

This is in theory. In practice, however, the line between gommage and scrub is increasingly blurred, largely thanks to cosmetics manufacturers who often call classic scrubs with abrasive particles as gommage to emphasize their delicate effect on the skin. Therefore, while compiling our rating, we took products with the word 'gommage' in their names, regardless of their real principle of action. As a result, it turned out that out of seven remedies, only one is a real, classic gommage.

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

Rating: 4.8

This gommage is for the body. His Mark Charme d'Orient, translated into Russian –

Charm of the East – specializes in luxury care.

The peeling effect is created by the argan shell crushed into powder, therefore it is still somewhat inappropriate to call the product gommage. Actively nourishes the skin – argan and coconut oils are responsible for this, which, among other things, smooth out fine wrinkles. Provides gentle exfoliation, leaving skin smoother and more tender.

Advantages

Lysedia Liftage Gommage Visage Eclat Lumiere

Rating: 4.8

Judging by the instructions for use, which suggests applying the product to cleansed skin, holding, massaging and rinsing, we have before us another scrub disguised as a fashionable name. On the other hand, the diamond powder in the composition provides really delicate exfoliation and does not scratch the skin, evening out its relief. The hyaluronic acid in the product moisturizes, the white lily extract evens out the complexion, improves microcirculation and has powerful antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from aging. So that these ingredients can manifest themselves, it is recommended to hold the product on the skin for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.

Advantages

• natural composition;
• white lily extract prevents the development of both age-related and post-inflammatory pigmentation;
• does not contain oils, therefore it can be recommended for oily skin.

disadvantages

• high price.

Cattier White Clay Facial

Rating: 4.5

This French remedy will delight a girl who prefers natural formulations. The base of gommage is white clay, which perfectly absorbs sebum. The scrubbing particles are also natural – from bamboo. There are not many of them, but girls with sensitive skin complain that the scrubbing particles are rather prickly. Lactic acid provides gentle exfoliation, jojoba oil nourishes, lavender and aloe extracts have anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Suitable for owners of normal to combination skin – dry and sensitive skin can be scratched, and for oily skin is too soft

Advantages

• natural composition;
• well cleanses and nourishes the skin.

disadvantages

• may scratch;
• too soft for oily skin.

Phytomer Purifyng Gommage Exfoliant

Rating: 4.4

This gommage, perhaps. the most minimalist composition of all that made it into our rating. Particles of Lithotamnium Calcareum seaweed are added to the white clay base, which is mostly calcium. It also contains phosphorus. fluoride, magnesium, which soothe the skin. For this, as well as for the minimum amount of ingredients, gommage can be recommended for owners of sensitive skin and girls prone to allergic manifestations.

Advantages

• laconic composition has a minimal risk of causing allergies;
• soothes sensitive skin.

disadvantages

• no care components.

Moisturizing Facial Gommage Dr. Konopka’s

Rating: 4.3

This product contains 20 herbal extracts and oils, including shea, linseed, rosehip oil, chamomile hydrolate, yellow water lily extract, hyssop, violet …

On the one hand, fans of natural cosmetics will love it. In addition, such a 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 prone to allergies, such a list of herbal components can give an unpleasant surprise – contrary to popular belief, 'natural' phyto-compositions are much more allergenic than their 'chemical' ones, that is, isolated and thoroughly purified analogues. Therefore, we would recommend to people suffering from atopic dermatitis and people who are simply prone to allergies, using this tool with extreme caution.

Advantages

• natural composition;
• reduces inflammation;
• copes well with excessive oily skin.

disadvantages

• may not be suitable for allergy sufferers;
• not suitable for sensitive skin and skin prone to rosacea;
• apricot pits, which act as abrasive particles, can injure.

Gommage soft for face 'Morning coffee' ORGANIC SHOP

Rating: 4.2

Super economical product of domestic manufacturers. A soft scrub, where ground coffee is used as an abrasive component, the particles of which are quite large. Another scrubbing element is Konjak root powder, which not only gently removes dead particles, but also absorbs sebum well. Enhances the exfoliating, 'degreasing' and anti-inflammatory effect of salicylic acid. So for dry and aging skin, such active sebum removal may be excessive.

The tool will appeal to fans of natural compounds: it contains white clay, the already mentioned coffee and konjak root, olive oil, macadamia oil, green coffee, lemongrass. It is paraben free.

There are a lot of rave reviews from young girls with oily skin on the network, but we would still not advise mature ladies to experiment with this drug: hard scrubbing particles can injure sensitive aging skin, and it usually does not need such active removal of sebum.

Advantages

• natural composition;
• copes well with excess sebum.

disadvantages

• not suitable for sensitive skin and skin prone to rosacea;
• can dry out;
• enhances flaking on dehydrated skin.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we would like to remind you that neither gommages nor scrubs are recommended for girls with acne, since during the massage germs are spread from the foci of inflammation. Even when using a soft gommage in this way, you can increase the amount of inflammation, not to mention a hard scrub, after which micro-scratches inevitably remain, where microorganisms multiply especially actively. For deep cleansing of skin with inflammatory elements, film masks or masks with acids are much better suited.
