Facial skin care at home: proper cleansing
Beautiful skin - clear skin. It's not about mechanical pollution, but about clogging the pores. This problem is increasingly accompanying not only oily skin, but also owners of normal skin type. Ideally, the epidermis should cleanse itself (as nature intended), but our life speed has gained maximum speed, and the skin just does not have time to adapt its direct functions to the pace of life. She needs a little help.
Easiest and inexpensive deep cleaning method The skin of the house is salt. It is believed that only marine should be used. It is not true. Ordinary table salt has a wide range of antiseptic properties, moreover, it is always at hand. Salt scrub is not stored, it must be used immediately after cooking. The recipes for each skin type are different.
Oily and mixed skin type | Normal and dry skin type |
1 part of table salt (shallow); 1 part spoon of your favorite liquid soap. Rub lightly for 2 minutes. Repeat no more than 1 time in seven days. | 1 part ordinary salt (shallow); 1 part olive oil (can be replaced with any other). Massage your face for 1-2 minutes. No need to repeat the procedure more than twice a month. |
Any scrubbing is more effective if performed on slightly steamed skin. Best after a hot shower or relaxing bath.

1. Never start mechanical cleaning of the face if it has inflammation, rashes, wounds. The procedure will not bring benefits, but may also worsen the healing of the inflamed process;
