The use of cosmetic masks in the bath is a great opportunity to get the most effective spa treatments for rejuvenation, recovery and skin tone without much effort and money.

In order for cosmetic masks in the bath to bring maximum benefit, you need to know a few simple rules for their use.

Rule one. There is no need to start bath procedures with the application of a cosmetic mask. First, the skin must be cleaned, removed keratinized particles and steamed. Why cleaning is needed, probably no one needs to explain. Removing dead skin particles from the skin will not only help make the skin younger, but also increase its permeability to the beneficial components of the cosmetic product that you will be applying. By the way, the simplest, cheapest and most effective body scrub is salt. Regular table salt will work, although sea salt can also be used. If you want to achieve an anti-cellulite effect, use natural ground coffee as a scrub.

When steaming, that is, when exposed to high temperatures, the pores of the skin expand, some ballast substances are excreted through them, but as a result of this procedure, blood circulation in the subcutaneous capillaries is activated, which will also contribute to faster penetration and absorption of nutrients applied to the skin. After you have done all this, your skin is ready to apply the mask.

The second rule. Before applying the mask, you do not need to wipe your skin dry. A little water will improve the effect of the mask in the bath. But the water should not drain in streams either, since it will simply wash off the entire mask. Ideally, lightly pat your skin dry with a bath towel to keep it moist, but not wet. After that, it is advisable to slightly warm the cosmetic mask in the bath, optimally to body temperature, and apply it to the skin of the face or body, not forgetting about the massage lines. You need to keep the mask as long as indicated in the instructions, but on average, the action time ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, after which the cosmetic substance is washed off with warm water.

Rule three. There is no need to go into the steam room with a mask applied to the skin, since under the influence of high temperature the components of a cosmetic mask can change their structure, and the most unexpected effect can be obtained, for example, a chemical burn, or the mask in the bath will simply exfoliate and will not have the proper effect.

What to use as a cosmetic mask in a bath? There are a million options. Ready-made cosmetic masks for the skin, herbal pastes, fruit, honey, cream, curd - it all depends on your personal preferences and on what effect you want to get.
