What are the benefits of washing your face with salt?

With the improvement of living and economic standards, many people now like to use cosmetics for beauty. However, in recent years, we often hear that cosmetics are harmful to the skin because they contain chemical substances. Therefore, many people suggest washing your face with salt for environmentally friendly skin care. So what are the benefits of washing your face with salt? Can salt really be effective for skin care? I believe everyone is very curious. Salt mainly has the effect of killing and inhibiting bacteria. So let’s understand the specific benefits of washing your face with salt.

Brightens skin tone

After washing your face in the morning and evening, put a small spoonful of fine salt on the palm of your hand and add 3 to 5 drops of water. Then use your fingers to carefully stir the salt and water evenly, dip your fingers in the salt water and apply and massage from the forehead from top to bottom. After a few minutes, when the salt water on your face dries up and turns into white powder, wash your face with warm water. This can effectively remove accumulated oil and acne on your skin. If saline drops into your eyes, rinse with clean water as soon as possible. When massaging, you should avoid the skin around the eyes and use it with caution on sensitive skin.

Freckles removal

Salt can remove facial freckles to a certain extent. Some beauty experts believe that washing your face with salt is better than using many facial cleansers because when salt is rubbed on the face, it can effectively eliminate oil, acne, blackheads, dead skin, etc. accumulated in the pores of the face. In addition to removing dirt, salt also has anti-inflammatory effects and can accelerate the shedding of acne. If lemon juice is added as an ingredient, it can also remove facial freckles.

The specific method is: when washing your face in the morning and evening, you can add a teaspoon of salt to some lemon juice with whitening effect, add water to dissolve it, and apply it on the face, wiping from the forehead from top to bottom, while doing circular massage. After half a minute, clean your face thoroughly with warm water, and then apply moisturizing lotion or continue normal skin care steps. Do it once every morning and evening after washing your face. After about a week, your face will become rosy and transparent.

Controls oil secretion in the T-zone

For the T-zone, which secretes a lot of oil, even in autumn, many people with oily skin still produce a lot of oil. For local areas, apply fine salt on the pre-moistened skin, gently massage and rest for 3 minutes, then use the middle fingertips to do squeezing massage from bottom to top on the open pores on both sides of the nose.

Remove acne marks and smooth out skin bumps

Dip your fingertips in a little salt and massage in a spiral shape three times on the acne marks or bumps. Then apply enough salt to the area that needs to be "solved" and wash it off after five or six minutes. Note: Do not massage a growing pimple.

Removes 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 tip of your nose as the center. Then use your fingertips to rub the dark spots in circular motions.

Improve clogged pores

Don't use cold water when washing your face. Because once the skin comes into contact with cold water, the pores will close immediately after being stimulated. The dirt and grime inside cannot be cleaned out. So it is recommended to wash your face with warm water. After washing your face with warm water, use a soft brush to gently circle your face several times to remove some of the dirt in the pores.

Cooling, detoxification, anti-inflammatory and sterilization

After washing your face at night, you can rub fine salt back and forth on your chin, and then rinse it off with clean water. This can effectively improve the symptoms of clogged skin pores. It is said that since the Song Dynasty, palace women have used salt water to wash their faces. It is also recorded in ancient medical books that salt has the effects of cooling, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and killing bacteria.

After reading the above, everyone knows the benefits of washing your face with salt? In daily life, you must choose fine salt or professional beauty salt. When cleaning, you must be careful not to accidentally hurt your eyes. After cleaning, you must rinse it with clean water. Salt can effectively remove keratin and oil from the skin surface, promote metabolism, prevent and treat acne and other skin diseases, and play a good health-care role.
