A home cleanser cannot reach everything. During a deep facial cleanse at Nour Skin Center in Haarlem, we also clear away those impurities, blackheads and dead cells. If you want thorough cleansing as your facial treatment, it leaves the skin with a cleaner feel and a fresher appearance.
First, we briefly assess your skin and discuss the areas you want attention paid to. Its condition on the day guides us. The usual sequence then includes: clearing away make-up and cleansing; loosening dead cells with a mild peel; preparing pores using warm compresses or steam; clearing impurities and blackheads with care; applying a mask matched to your skin type; a conditioning cream and protection from sunlight to finish
From dryness or dullness to oily or combination skin with blocked pores and blackheads, a deep cleanse suits most skin types. Sensitivity or rosacea calls for a gentler approach: we work especially softly and leave out elements that might cause irritation.
We wait or change our approach in these circumstances: acne with inflammation, wounds that remain open or newly sunburnt facial skin; eczema, a cold sore or other skin infections; a recent procedure involving peeling, laser or microneedling; isotretinoin or other medication for the skin
Skin that blocks up quickly may feel better with shorter gaps between visits, whereas occasional cleansing is often sufficient for dry or sensitive skin. Many people leave four to eight weeks between deep cleanses, reflecting the skin’s renewal cycle of roughly four to six weeks. A single visit, perhaps ahead of a special occasion, is another option.
A smooth, clean feel is noticeable immediately afterwards. Areas where we cleared blackheads may look slightly red for several hours. Cleansing and blackhead removal can irritate the skin, sometimes bringing out a spot over the next few days. It generally settles without intervention.
Before your first visit, complete the intake and consent form. We take off your make-up as the treatment begins. Preferably leave out scrubs, peels and retinol for the preceding two to three days, and do not sunbathe. For help choosing a treatment that fits your skin, call or WhatsApp us first, or raise your question as your initial appointment starts.
The recommendations below give general guidance. Once treatment ends, we agree which care is appropriate for your skin.
Even gentle deep cleansing can trigger a response. Most commonly, that means some tenderness, short-lived redness or a few blemishes in the subsequent days. Always disclose known allergies beforehand: a product allergy is rare, but possible. Careful extraction of blackheads helps us minimise irritation and tiny wounds. Get in touch if a reaction continues beyond a few days.
