Masks for the face in the bath

Russian bath, Finnish dry steam bath or soft Turkish hammam: any bath for a woman is not only a cleansing procedure, but also an excellent reason to look after yourself. When the skin is steamed, the effectiveness of any funds increases. Therefore, we choose scrubs and face masks especially carefully.

Any kind of bath procedures has a tonic and healing effect on the body. Even without any masks after the bath skin looks rested and fresh. And if you choose the right care, then you can completely replace the bath with at least one trip to the beautician.

General rules for care during steaming:

• Before applying any cosmetics skin should be thoroughly cleaned.
• Masks do not do while in the steam room.

• Usually, masks are made in the intervals between visits to the steam room. After her first visit, when the face is steamed and the pores are opened, you need to make an exfoliating mask (use a scrub, gommage, peeling). Coming out of the sauna, be sure to take a dip in the pool or take a cool shower - you need to wash off the dirt, dust and sweat. After that, apply a mask with solid particles on the face, relax and let it "work" for 5-10 minutes. After that, you can easily massage your face and rinse off the product thoroughly. Now the skin is really cleansed, you can moisturize or nourish it.

• The mask should be applied, like a scrub, after you took a shower after stepping out of the steam room. The face is soaked with a soft terry towel and the mask is applied in a thick layer, excluding the area under the gas and around the lips. Eyelids can be covered with cotton pads dipped in herbal tea or tea with cucumber circles, and lips smeared with honey. With all this "good" on the face you need to relax, it is desirable - to lie down and keep quiet. After 15 minutes, you can wash off the makeup, make a light face massage and use tonic and cream according to the usual pattern.
