Tar soap from acne

The abundance of cosmetic products today does not detract from the merits of the natural formulations that our grandmothers once used. Since ancient times, herbal ingredients have helped with various kinds of diseases and problems with the skin of the face, including the formation of acne. Tar soap is a unique cosmetic that has several additional uses and perfectly copes with skin rashes.

A few decades ago, tar soap was a coarse, unsightly piece of soap substance with a repulsive odor. Modern manufacturers propose to use an improved formula of "popular" product in order to get rid of inflammation. Useful properties of tar soap are as follows:

• It dries the skin and the resulting inflammation;
• Fights glitter and the formation of excess sebum - sebum;
• Tar soap - natural antiseptic, which fights harmful microbes on the surface of the epidermis and prevents the formation of new pimples;
• The components of the product struggle with the effect of inflammation. - post-acne, pigmented spots, lighten the damaged areas and even out the overall tone of the face;
• The product can be used to treat oily skin.because it has the ability to regulate sebum production, remove oily sheen and fight deep soils;
• Tar soap from acne - the most common remedy in the fight against inflammation. The composition perfectly cleans the skin, dries pimples and removes them from the surface of the face without consequences (scars);
• It helps in the fight against acne and more serious skin diseases like fungi, herpes on the face and body.used to treat boils and purulent formations;
• Relieves hypodermic pimples and marks due to increased blood circulation, promotes the rapid absorption of inflammation inside;

Tar soap has a number of disadvantages that limit its use:

• Unpleasant smell - The first thing that repels girls and women from using this type of soap. The tar has a specific "flavor" that has the ability to linger on the skin, however, it can also be removed with the help of fragrances or use another aromatic composition on top;
• Tar soap strongly dries the skin. This was probably noticed by women using the product regularly. If cleansing of this kind is useful for oily skin, it is undesirable for dry and sensitive skin. In addition, the use of such an aggressive composition is not recommended on a daily basis; it is sufficient to limit the washing up to 4-5 times a week, depending on the degree of oily skin and the number of problems with it;
• Among the components of tar soap you can find xylene, benzene, toluene, cresol, phenol and other substances - potential allergenstherefore, the tar product is not indicated for girls with sensitive skin types;
• The tar in the soap forms a film on the surface of the skin, which acts as a protective barrier against external influences, including it interferes with normal air exchange and can provoke disturbances in the skin at the cellular level. To avoid such a misunderstanding, it is recommended to use a face tonic that will restore the natural pH balance of the epidermis and remove the very “barrier”;
• There is a so-called intolerance to the components of tar soap. If the number of inflammations after use has increased, then there is an incompatibility of the composition with the skin. However, dermatologists note that such a reaction is not uncommon, so our skin reacts to the new composition of the product and adapts to it, so you should not draw conclusions earlier than after a week of using the product.

The tar remedy for acne eliminates imperfections and returns the uniform texture to the epidermis, however, even the natural composition has contraindications.

Tar soap found its use for the face and body. If its use on the face is limited due to individual intolerance (especially smell), dry skin or too thin epidermis, then the application on the back and other parts of the body is practically unlimited. To make the surface of the skin of the shoulders, chest and back smooth, healthy and clean, dermatologists recommend applying tar soap, previously whipped into foam and leave it for a period of up to 10 minutes. The components of the soap will dry out the inflammations and, at the same time, clean the pores.

See the following video for more on the benefits of tar soap.

Modern compositions of tar soap differ from each other, but their composition often has several identical components:

• Sodium salts of fatty acids, which are indicated on the package as Sodium (Cocoate, Tallowate, Palmate). The component is a plant extruction, harmless to the epidermis;
• Water;
• Birch tar is a key component of tar soap.

The composition of the cleansing product may contain several more components:

• Amino Alcohol (Triethanolamine). It softens the aggressive effect of tar and sodium salts on the skin, without disturbing the natural pH balance of the epidermis;
• Thickener (Diethylene Glycol);
• Acids (benzoic, citric);
• The binding component Cellulose Gum, which has a stabilizing effect and creates the very film (protective barrier) on the surface of the skin.

The composition of natural tar soap should be limited to the first set of components that are not numerous and are really necessary to cleanse the skin and fight acne. The remaining ingredients are superfluous, they should be avoided whenever possible. In addition, they can have an unpleasant effect on the epidermis, causing dry skin and an allergic reaction.
