What Are the Pros and Cons of Using Salt to Wash Your Face?
Using salt to wash your face can remove blackheads, refine pores, and kill bacteria. However, not everyone is suitable for using salt to wash their face, especially those with sensitive skin or thin stratum corneum. People with such skin types may find their skin becoming dry and even developing red blood vessels after using salt to wash their face. Therefore, it is recommended to use scientific skin care products for face washing.
Using salt to wash your face can help remove blackheads and cleanse dirt and oil from the face (except for sensitive skin). When using salt to wash your face, you can take a small amount of salt in your hand, dissolve it with water, and then gently massage it onto your face. Once the water on your face evaporates and the salt returns to its original form, you can rinse your face with water.
Using salt to wash your face is only suitable for people with oily skin. Those with dry skin should avoid using salt to wash their face. Because people with dry skin tend to have thinner stratum corneum, using salt to wash their face will make their skin even drier and damage their skin's protective layer, leading to damage to the stratum corneum and the appearance of fine red blood vessels.
Before washing your face, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Then, moisten your facial skin with warm water. Squeeze out an appropriate amount of facial cleanser and start from the forehead, gradually massaging in circular motions down to cleanse your face. Rinse your face with warm water. It is important to maintain an appropriate water temperature while washing your face. Excessively high water temperature can damage your facial skin, while excessively low water temperature may not thoroughly cleanse your face. Choose a facial cleanser that is suitable for your skin type.
