Now not every woman uses laundry soap, even for washing, because it does not have such a pleasant smell and appearance as modern products. However, this remedy is still one of the best methods to improve the condition of the skin. Use a laundry soap for the face is recommended by both cosmetologists and dermatologists due to its special composition and properties.
Use of soap for face skin
The main advantage of the means under consideration is its naturalness. The fact that in the laundry soap does not add sulfates, perfumes, parabens, synthetic ingredients and surface active substances. In its composition, exclusively alkalis and fats (within 72%).
Thus, laundry soap actively fights bacteria, cleans the skin qualitatively and exfoliates dead cells of the epidermis.
An interesting feature of the product is its ability to accelerate tissue epithelization. Regular use allows the wound to heal faster, prevents the formation of scars .
Can I wash my face with soap?
Despite the above advantages of the means, the constant washing of the face with soap is not a useful procedure. High concentration of alkalis in it negatively affects the local skin immunity, as these components drain the surface of the epidermis, eliminating the protective fat layer. As a result, irritation, flaking and hyperemia occur on the face.
The correct way to apply laundry soap is to apply the product on some areas of the skin. It is known that the product effectively fights against inflammatory processes, so regular use of it from acne reduces the amount of rashes, the size of the pimples and stops the formation of pus.
In addition, you can add laundry soap to a special cleaning mask:
- Grind a small amount of the described product on a fine grater.
- Heat in a water bath and whisk until it forms foam.
- Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the mass.
- Gently mix the ingredients.
- Apply the mask on the entire face, leave for half an hour.
- Wash off with copious amounts of warm water.
This procedure helps to deeply clean the pores and whiten the skin a little.
An easier way is to soap the face once a week with the foam of this product, leave it for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
