Many women have already appreciated the beneficial properties of sea salt., which are widely used in the complex fight against cellulite and to improve the condition of the epidermis. For example, sea salt can be added to a product that is used at home for anti-cellulite wrap with a lifting effect. This natural component, which is obtained by evaporating sea water, contains large amounts of magnesium, calcium, iron, iodine and other useful minerals. During the wrap, minerals actively affect the skin, helping to remove excess water, waste and toxins from the connective tissue of the skin, and also improve regeneration, tighten, cleanse and smooth out problem areas of the body with “orange peel”.

But sea salt can also be used to prepare very effective cleansing scrubs for facial skin, which are not inferior in the degree of impact to popular coffee and oatmeal homemade scrubs. "Sea belongings" not only thoroughly exfoliates dead cells, but also deeply nourishes the skin of the face and neck with all the necessary microelements and minerals. Of course, a sea salt scrub should contain not only exfoliating abrasive particles, but also a softening base made from natural products. If you have dry or aging skin, then choose “sea scrub” recipes for home facial cleansing, which include dairy products, vegetable oils, fruit or vegetable pulp to create a thick, creamy, softening base. Sea salt- the best option for preparing scrubs with cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing and rejuvenating properties. But you can also use table salt - in this case, additionally add natural products rich in minerals and trace elements to the scrubs (and masks).

♦ TIPS FOR PREPARING AND USING SEA SALT SCRUB

➊ It is advisable to perform the procedure in the evening before bed. First, be sure to cleanse your facial skin of makeup and accumulated dirt - for this you can use a foaming gel or cleansing lotion on a cotton pad;

➋ to minimize the irritating effect of abrasive particles of the “sea scrub” and avoid redness after the procedure, you can steam the skin over a steam bath before exfoliation (for example, hold your face for 3-4 minutes over a pan of boiling water from a decoction of medicinal herbs);

➌ apply the prepared salt scrub to steamed, slightly damp skin with smooth, circular movements (skip the eyelids and area around the eyes). Do not press too hard with your fingertips to avoid causing noticeable irritation to the skin. The procedure takes 2-4 minutes (depending on the type and condition of the skin), and then you can leave the mass on the face and neck as a nourishing mask (10-15 minutes). If you have dry skin, then do not use a scrub mask more than once every 2 weeks, and if you have oily skin, then you can do a cleansing peel once a week;

➍ after the procedure, wash with warm soft water (preferably mineral or spring water, but settled water is also possible). Do not wipe your face, but gently pat dry with a soft towel;

➎ in order to relieve irritation and soothe cleansed skin, you can massage your face with ice cubes. You can make homemade cosmetic ice - pour a cooled decoction of medicinal herbs into molds or simply add a few drops of essential oil to mineral water, and then put the molds in the freezer;

➏ All that remains is to apply a soothing nourishing cream to the skin of the face and neck. It is important to mention that the use of scrub masks is contraindicated if there are open wounds, acne, or fresh scars on the epidermis after surgery (less than a month), since you can easily get an infection during the procedure.

♦ BEST RECIPES FOR HOME SCRUBS

Beauty, first of all, is caring for the body, hair, and face. Plus, proper nutrition, drinking water, vitamins and microelements is important. And beauty is important, both external and internal. Today I want to talk about external beauty. How important it is for a woman to be attractive, slim and beautiful. People around them admire such women, because they are role models. We all strive to preserve our natural beauty of face and body longer. To do this, we try to devote a lot of time to ourselves. A lot of money is also spent on maintaining beauty. But there are also very simple and affordable recipes that can be prepared at home.

Taking care of your body skin is just as important as taking care of your hair and face. Soft, delicate, smooth body skin is perfection. For body care we use various scrubs, oils, gels and other products. I would like to pay special attention to scrubs. Today I want to talk about salt scrub recipes. Preparing a salt body scrub at home is extremely simple and quick, the result is noticeable from the first use.

Scrubs have a positive effect on the skin, helping to exfoliate dead cells, while moisturizers are absorbed into the skin much faster. This makes the skin look smoother and softer. Salt scrubs are also used for cellulite. Since salt scrub perfectly tones the skin, improves blood circulation in cells, helps remove toxins and excess fluid.

Use salt scrubs once a week. If the skin is dry, then the scrub can be used no more than once every two weeks. The most important thing is not to dry out the skin. Be sure to apply the scrub to damp skin. Preferably after taking a bath or shower.

Along with using a salt scrub for the body, a salt scrub can be used for the hair. Using a salt scrub for hair improves blood circulation in scalp cells, removes cosmetic residues, excess dust and grease. There are a lot of scrub recipes, my favorite is one with essential oils.

As a rule, there is nothing complicated in preparing a salt scrub. The composition of the scrub is simple. This is salt (we give preference to sea salt), vegetable oil, essential oils and additional components.

Salt for scrubs

In my opinion, it is better to prepare a salt scrub with sea salt; if it is coarse, then it can be crushed. Sea salt is undoubtedly healthier than regular salt. You can buy sea salt in a store, supermarket or pharmacy. Available in cosmetic stores and shops. It is best to take pure sea salt, without additives. Sea salt is very affordable.

And if you can’t buy sea salt, you can try making a scrub from table salt. Moreover, you can buy fine salt, and you won’t have to bother grinding it. But I’m still “for” sea salt.

Vegetable oil for scrub

You can use any vegetable oil for scrub. You can use almond oil, peach or apricot kernels, olive oil, jojoba oil. Almond oil, as well as peach or apricot kernel oil, are considered the softest and most gentle, non-allergenic for the skin.

Essential oil for scrubs

I prefer natural and high-quality essential oils, and today these are Primavera oils for me. You can buy synthetic oil at the pharmacy, which will not have the desired effect.

If a salt scrub is being prepared to get rid of cellulite, then a group of citrus essential oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit, tangerine) would be appropriate. Choose the one you like best.

Additional components for scrub

Additional components can be used for the scrub. Such as citrus zest (orange, lemon, lime).

You can use oatmeal, ground almonds, semolina or corn grits, ground coffee. They greatly tone the body, even out the skin, improving its appearance. Moreover, coffee scrubs can be used for both the face and body.

Dry herbs and flowers. I really like the scrub made with lemon zest and dried lavender flowers.

Sea salt is truly a miracle cure for many ailments. Hand baths help during severe frosts, when hands become chapped. Gargles with salt quickly provide an effect for inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Even just swimming in the sea on summer days, we feel how our health is restored and how the condition of our skin improves. We are getting younger before our eyes! Why not “take the sea with you” by establishing the habit of periodically using a salt scrub on your face and body to quickly tone yourself up after a week of work?

Both regular table salt and sea salt contain a large amount of beneficial substances that our skin needs. A salt scrub for the face will be useful for both young girls suffering from periodic acne breakouts and mature women whose skin needs toning and tightening.

Facial scrub with sea salt allows you to:

• saturate the skin with microelements (salt contains zinc, selenium, iodine, potassium and many other substances);
• free the skin from dead particles;
• reduce inflammatory processes;
• accelerate skin cell regeneration;
• relieve allergy symptoms.

In addition, a homemade salt facial scrub relieves swelling because it helps remove excess fluid.

A table salt facial scrub is especially useful for ladies whose skin is prone to oily skin. The number of comedones and acne will be noticeably reduced. The skin will become smooth, and the oily sheen that irritates girls will disappear.

If you combine salt with emollient ingredients, it can be used to prepare tonics intended for those with dry and sensitive skin.

How to make a salt scrub for your face if your skin is oily

A homemade scrub for oily skin can be prepared even from pure salt, without adding oils or dairy products.

The simplest option: first steam your face, then take a pinch of salt and very carefully rub it into problem areas for about 1-2 minutes. No matter how fine the table salt is, you should not touch the area around the eyes! There is practically no fat layer, and it is very easy to damage the skin.

After such scrubbing, you need to wash your face with warm, then cool water and lubricate your face with moisturizer. A layer of cream can be applied liberally to help the skin recover faster.

You can make a facial scrub using salt and baking soda. Take the ingredients:

• salt (teaspoon);
• soda (half a teaspoon);
• a teaspoon of kefir.

It is best to choose low-fat kefir. Mix everything, then rub into the skin of the face in a circular motion for a couple of minutes. A scrub made from salt and soda is also suitable for combination skin, because the kefir included in its composition softens the effect of small particles.

Oily skin responds well to this salt scrub. We wash our face, then make soap foam and apply it to the skin. Gently rub sea or regular salt over the foam. After massaging the skin, wash everything off the face and apply a soothing cream. After this facial scrub with table or sea salt, you can apply olive oil (or jojoba oil) to the skin and leave until completely absorbed. Just don’t forget to blot your face with a napkin, otherwise greasy marks will remain. And you shouldn’t use oil every time after scrubbing, so as not to clog the sebaceous ducts.

A facial scrub made from salt and cosmetic clay is extremely beneficial for oily skin. The choice of clay is an individual matter: blue, black, and pink will do. Prepare the clay slurry as usual and add a teaspoon of salt to it. Clay tightens pores, evens out color, removes micro-inflammations - in a word, it acts “at the same time” with salt. It is good to add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the mixture, which brightens the face, makes it fresh and rested.

Cleansing dry skin

Dry and aging skin needs cleansing slightly less than oily skin. In addition, she does not tolerate an aggressive attitude: an unpleasant burning sensation, irritation immediately appears, and sensitivity increases. However, it is still necessary to use a scrub from time to time, since it is necessary to help the skin get rid of old particles. Otherwise, it will look dull and tired, which automatically adds several years to its owner.

How to make a good salt scrub for dry skin? To do this, you can use olive oil and lemon juice. Mix salt (half a teaspoon) with oil (take a teaspoon) and juice (you also need a teaspoon). After you have massaged your face with this composition for a couple of minutes, you need to wash it off, and then you can apply another portion of olive oil to your face and do not wash it off, just blot it slightly with a towel.

If you make a scrub from salt and honey, the skin will cleanse and receive a portion of the vitamins it needs.

Mix a teaspoon of honey, vegetable oil and salt. You can add a little water to make the mixture soft and not scratch the skin. Mix everything and apply to face. After a minute of massage, leave for another 5-10 minutes. Then rinse off and apply nourishing cream.

For those who are not allergic to citrus fruits, a good scrub recipe with orange pulp is suitable. Taking:

• mashed orange slice;
• vegetable oil (teaspoon);
• salt (teaspoon),

mix everything and apply to the face. You need to massage the skin a little, then rinse off the composition and apply moisturizer. This scrub also plays the role of a mask that tones aging skin.

For sagging skin, seaweed can be used in scrubs. They nourish and tighten the skin, relieving it of age-related problems.

Salt-based scrubs for oily skin can be used once a week. With dry skin, you should be careful: a maximum of once every ten days you can cleanse and tone the skin in this way.

To enhance the effect of the scrub, you must either steam the skin first or run an ice cube over it several times. Do not use the scrub if there is noticeable inflammation on your face or if you have recently undergone mechanical or ultrasonic cleaning.

After the scrubbing procedure, there is no need to immediately apply makeup and run to work. The skin should rest and recover. Therefore, the ideal time for such a session would be a day off.

Scrubs made from sea or table salt are an excellent way to maintain skin tone and rid it of dead skin particles. Don't neglect these simple and cheap homemade cosmetics, and your face will always look well-groomed and youthful, no matter how old you get!
