Exfoliating Treatment with Gommage: spotlight on Pumilia

Gommage is like a caress for the skin, a gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment that helps achieve a radiant and healthy appearance. With its ability to remove dead cells, gommage has become a must-have in the skincare routines of those looking to take care of their skin.

It is popular not only in wellness centers and beauty salons but also as a treatment to be done at home. Let's discover everything you need to know about gommage: its function, benefits, and how to apply it correctly.

What is Gommage?

Gommage is a mechanical treatment that is massaged onto the skin and characterized by the presence of microgranules that promote exfoliation. It is a gentle product but at the same time hydrating and nourishing, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. Its main function is to deeply cleanse and purify the skin, which is stressed every day by external agents such as fine dust, pollutants, and temperature variations. Its exfoliating action specifically involves removing dead cells and other impurities from the skin tissue, oxygenating and regenerating the skin without disrupting its natural balance.

Although it serves the same primary function as scrub and peeling, which is exfoliation, gommage stands out because:

• Scrub is also a mechanical treatment that is massaged onto the skin, but its action is more intense compared to that of gommage, making it suitable primarily for thicker and less sensitive skin.
• Peeling is a chemical exfoliating treatment that relies on the use of fruit acids or enzymes that deeply penetrate the skin, purifying it. Its action, therefore, does not depend on the microgranules that characterize both gommage and scrub.

How does gommage work?

Gommage is an exfoliating treatment that works on the surface of the skin, eliminating dull layers that can accumulate due to factors such as stress, pollution, UV exposure, and aging. By removing these layers of dead skin, it helps reduce fine lines, dark spots, and skin imperfections. Additionally, the treatment leaves the skin smoother, radiant, and softer, giving it a youthful and luminous appearance.

All of this is made possible thanks to its particular composition: gommage usually contains natural and gentle ingredients on the skin, such as cocoa powder, sugar, rice flour, or oatmeal, which help exfoliate the skin without causing damage. Furthermore, the treatment also contains essential oils, vitamins, and minerals that help nourish and hydrate the skin, making it softer and more radiant.

What are the benefits of gommage?

Gommage offers numerous benefits for skin care, including:

• Removes dead cells and dull layers from the skin's surface, making it smoother and more radiant.
• Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
• Helps reduce the appearance of acne and blackheads on the skin.
• Helps maintain soft and hydrated skin.

How to apply face gommage 

Unlike other exfoliating treatments, facial gommage is gentler and doesn't irritate the skin, making it suitable even for sensitive skin and for more frequent application (even two or three times a week).

To apply it, you first need to cleanse your face and then spread the product in circular motions on damp skin, taking care to avoid the eye and lip areas. It's important to massage the skin carefully to ensure effective removal of dead cells.

Once the application is complete, the face should be rinsed thoroughly with warm or cold water to stimulate pore closure. It is also advisable to continue the routine by using a toner to restore the skin's natural pH balance and a moisturizer cream to replenish hydration to the tissues. This way, the skin will appear brighter, softer, and more radiant after each use of gommage.

How to apply body gommage 

The application of body gommage is similar to that on the face: after showering, simply massage the product in circular motions on the arms, legs, abdomen, as well as on the heels, elbows, and knees. For a deeper effect, you can use a horsehair or donkey hair glove, which is a natural fiber.
