Dimexide is a medicinal product exclusively for external use. It has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic properties. In particular, dimexide for the face is applied from acne, various small wounds on the skin and with irritations. In some cases, it is used to dilute blood and to treat internal diseases.
Basic properties of dimexide
When applied to the skin dimeskid sufficiently quickly absorbed, directly acting on the inflamed zone. When you use it for acne, their amount decreases significantly after a month of treatment. This drug is very soluble in water, but completely insoluble in oils. Most often, dimexide is not mixed with anything, since this drug itself is strong enough and effective. There are cases when for the treatment of acne the solution is mixed with honey as a mask. Only in this version of treatment is a preliminary test for the tolerability of such a combination.
Dimexide in cosmetology for face with acne
The most common cause of acne on the face are hormonal disorders. At this time, teens change the properties of the skin, which contributes to a change in the chemical composition of sebum. While sebum becomes more viscous, it clogs the pores and some areas (pimples) that begin to cornify and peel. Thus, we see redness on the face and small pimples. Sometimes they are large enough, painful. In such cases, a complex treatment is often prescribed, in which dimexide is included. During its application to the skin, it is quickly absorbed and in some cases can have a general effect on the body. Dimexide for face skin is used for various purposes, including, with various inflammatory processes (from acne) and their treatment. It has an antibacterial effect, thereby reducing the number of pimples and their size. If you apply dimexid on a pimple with a formed abscess, then after a while it breaks through and in its place there is only a thin crust. When applying the product to an unformed pimple, there is no trace at all.
Masks for face with dimexid
The recipe for the first mask consists of a combination of dimexid and tea tree oil :
- To prepare the mask, equal parts of dimexid and tea tree oil are needed.
- All are mixed and applied solely to the inflamed skin.
- After a few hours, it is recommended to wash with warm water, thereby removing some of the remnants of the mask.
The second mask consists of dimexide and erythromycin :
- In a liquid solution of dimime, two erythromycin tablets must be diluted.
- The resulting solution is wiped face overnight with a cotton pad.
In general, it is worth noting that dimexide can be used prophylactically as a mask once a week, if you have problem skin. If the treatment is prescribed directly as a course, then the mask can be done up to three times a week. Dimexide for the face from wrinkles is not as effective as for treating a different plan of inflammatory reactions, therefore this drug is most suitable for young skin. If it is a question of treating joints or any other inflammation on the skin of the body, then dimexide is ideal for such therapy.
How correctly to use Dimexide?
To treat the rash on the face, use a 20% solution of dimexide, for this, it is diluted with water in accordance with 1: 3.
