What are the benefits of washing your face with salt water?

Salt has many benefits and functions, and washing your face with salt for skin care is one of them. Washing your face with salt can help remove oil, acne, blackheads accumulated in the pores of the face, as well as keratin and dirt on the surface of the skin. It has the effects of brightening the skin, removing oil and controlling acne. If the salt beauty method is used all over the body, it can promote the metabolism of the skin all over the body, prevent and treat skin diseases, and play a better role in self-care.

Washing your face with salt can not only reduce inflammation and kill bacteria on the entire facial skin, but also prevent the occurrence of acne. When bathing, warm your body to open the pores, then apply salt on your back and gently massage with a bath brush for about 1 minute. Then, use a soft object such as a sponge dipped in light salt water and apply it to your back for 10 minutes, then wash it off with clean water. This can prevent acne on the back.

The correct way to wash your face with salt water

1. Control oil secretion in the T-zone: Apply fine salt to the T-zone, massage gently and rest for 3 minutes, then use your middle finger to squeeze and massage the open pores on both sides of the nose from bottom to top.

2. To remove acne marks and smooth out uneven skin texture: Dip your fingertips in a little salt and massage on the acne marks or uneven skin texture in a spiral shape three times. Then apply enough salt to the area that needs to be "resolved" and wash it off after five or six minutes. Note: Do not massage a growing pimple

3. Remove rough skin and dark spots: Wet the salt with water and apply it on your face. Massage for 1 minute with the same force as when washing your face. Draw large circles on both cheeks from bottom to top with the nose as the center. Then use your fingertips to rub the dark spots in circular motions.

Precautions for washing your face with salt water

1. For oily skin, just use salt and water;

2. For dry skin, you can put a spoonful of water-soluble or weak oily massage cream in the left palm, add half a spoonful of salt and an appropriate amount of water. Be careful not to apply salt water around the eyes to avoid damaging the conjunctiva.

3. Do not use coarse salt to wash your face. Because this type of salt particles are too large, they can cause damage to the skin on your face, and in severe cases can even cause peeling. Therefore, you need to buy salt specifically for use on your face. Even if it is salt specifically for washing your face, you can only use it twice a week, and use a very small amount each time. What’s more worth mentioning is that you cannot rub salt directly on your face. You should dilute it before use.

4. After washing your face with salt, wash your skin thoroughly with clean water to make sure that the skin does not feel tight or continuously irritated. This means that the salt on the face has not been cleaned up, and it is definitely not good for it to continue to remain on the face. If it is only a little tight, it does not matter, because salt will take away the oil in the skin and make the skin a little dry.
