Made from natural ingredients, it can replace a whole arsenal professional tools used to care for problem skin.

Properties of tar soap, indications and contraindications

Tar soap is recommended for use in the presence of not only aesthetic defects, but also functional problems of the facial skin. Dermatologists advise using the drug in case of a tendency to the formation of boils, manifestations of psoriasis, pyoderma, dermatomycosis. Lather can be used as first aid for frostbite or burns on the skin of the face. It not only disinfects the wound, but also accelerates its healing without scarring.

Don't count on instant result: Only with regular use of the product can you get a noticeable improvement in the quality of the skin. The indisputable advantage of the composition is the fact that it is suitable for the care of any type of epidermis. Many believe that a composition with such a pungent, even irritating, odor cannot be used by owners of dry or sensitive skin... In fact, the tool is universal and works quite mildly.

The only contraindication to the use of the product is an allergy to the constituents of the soap (in particular, to birch tar). Given the fact that the composition is natural and does not contain dyes, fragrances and preservatives, a negative reaction to it is extremely rare. Wearers of very thin skin with increased sensitivity and reactivity should be careful when using soap. After each session, apply an emollient and moisturizer to the treated areas to help prevent drying and tightening of the skin.


Tar soap as a remedy for acne

Primarily, birch tar soap is used to combat unpleasant and common conditions such as acne and occasional acne. Due to its composition, the product can be used at any age. You should not rush to purchase expensive cosmetics stuffed with chemicals to get rid of teenage rashes - first you should try tar soap.

There are a few things you need to follow to treat or prevent acne from spreading.

  1. In the morning and in the evening, hands should be thoroughly washed with tar soap... Inflammatory processes on the skin of the face are often associated with a violation of the basic rules of personal hygiene. People constantly (deliberately or unconsciously) touch their face. Microbes from the fingers enter the pores, and the formation of an abscess begins. If you are intolerant of the smell of tar, you can limit yourself only to evening antibacterial hand treatment. By the morning, the smell will disappear, and the effect will remain.
  2. Washing the skin twice daily with soapy foam will provide degreasing, disinfection and quick recovery the skin. If the skin is not prone to oily and the problem lies in the appearance of single acne, you can limit yourself to local treatment of the affected area. It is worth considering that it is forbidden to apply soap directly to the skin - a layer of thick foam is applied to a damp face, which is then used to process the tissues. To avoid the feeling of tightness of the skin, you need to treat your face with a nourishing cream immediately after the cleansing session.
  3. Soaps can be a good remedy for severe and chronic acne. tar masks... They are used according to indications, at least once a week, for three months.
  4. On single, newly appeared pimples, you can apply lather with a cotton swab and leave it on overnight. By the morning, the formation will dry out, the signs of inflammation will disappear, healing will be faster.
  5. If you use tar soap to treat the area above upper lip before carrying out the procedure for removing unwanted hairs, this will be an excellent prevention of inflammation and acne.

It is worth considering that if after the treatment of acne with birch tar the problem persists, you should consult a specialist. Such resistance to natural antiseptics may indicate a serious illness. When using soap as an anti-inflammatory agent for acne and comedones, it is allowed to carry out (squeezing out the cones), but only if all the rules of asepsis and antiseptics are observed.


Use of tar soap as a daily hygiene product

Birch tar soap can be an excellent daily care product. The rules for its use depend on the type of epidermis.

  • Owners of oily, problematic and combination skin must use the product twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. It is necessary to apply a thick foam to a damp face and massage problem areas for at least 20 seconds. This should be followed by contrasting washing and applying a very light moisturizer. We recommend replacing your face wash with an ice cube and lemon juice once a week.
  • Skin normal type soap cleaning can be done once a day (before bedtime) or every other day with the obligatory subsequent application of a night cream. This approach will prevent the development of inflammatory processes and slow down the aging process.
  • Owners of dry and sensitive skin should not use the soap composition more than once a week. A very liquid foam is applied to the skin of the face previously cleaned with specialized products, with which areas prone to inflammation and dry acne are treated. The whole manipulation lasts only a few seconds, then the soap is thoroughly washed off. If you leave flakes of foam on your face, it will feel tight. After removing the composition, the skin must be well moisturized.

If the precautions do not help and the increased dryness of the skin begins to worry, you can try a homemade product that will be created taking into account the characteristics of the epidermis.

If the epidermis is prone to hypersensitivity or dryness, a gauze cloth can only be moistened with pure herbal broth. After a quarter of an hour, everything is removed, the face is thoroughly washed with cool water and a moisturizer is applied (regardless of skin type).

Birch tar mask against blackheads

Precautions and nuances for using tar soap

  1. If the smell of soap makes you feel uncomfortable, don't ignore it. You can combine the skin cleansing procedure with aromatherapy, then the procedure will not be so repulsive. As a last resort, you can use a nose clip or scented nasal plugs. If during the operation of the product the eyes begin to water, it is better to refuse the ingredient altogether.
  2. If there is no negative reaction to tar, but the soap dries the skin too much, you can use homemade products or tar water (2 tablespoons of tar is diluted in 0.5 liters of water).
  3. Do not allow contact with mucous membranes!
  4. Do not combine the use of alkaline soaps with acidic ingredients (such as citrus juice).

Store ready product in a sealed soap dish or special container. The smell from the product spreads very intensely, which can lead to an unpleasant atmosphere in the bathroom.

The benefits of tar soap

Due to the presence of such an important ingredient as birch tar, tar soap has many beneficial properties. Mindful of medicinal properties birch trees are the mother of tar, representatives of the Slavic peoples have always treated her with reverence. Possessing excellent antiseptic properties, tar has long been known not only as a medicine, but also as a cosmetic product.

Tar soap is easily recognized by the warm, bitter smell that has become business card... It does not include dyes and synthetic flavors.

Harm of tar soap

With all the medicinal properties of tar, which is drug, tar soap has a number of disadvantages.

  1. The main and most unpleasant drawback is the specific smell. He is quite eater and resilient. If your skin tends to retain odors for a long time, try to shade its aroma after using tar soap. To do this, it is recommended to use perfumes with spicy or woody notes. Although, tar often serves as a component of expensive perfumes, bringing an element of warmth into them.
  2. Due to its cheapness and availability, tar soap is tempting to use it all the time. But it must be remembered that tar is only an integral part of the soap base. Prolonged exposure to alkali on more acidic skin can be detrimental to the condition of the skin.

The use of tar soap

  • to treat fungus, hair loss, dandruff, use tar soap for short courses;
  • as a remedy for dealing with facial skin problems (acne, comedones), use soap 2-3 times a week;
  • don't forget to moisturize your skin. Having lost its natural lubrication, the skin begins to actively produce sebum;
  • rinse hair in acidified water, using tar soap when shampooing.

Liquid tar soap

But using such soap as remedy, do not forget that it contains aggressive surfactants that irritate the skin.

Trust me, no one is going to add expensive ingredients to a product that was originally designed to be available.
