Tar soap: benefits for hair, acne remedy. Reviews
The abundance of all kinds of cosmetic products for care is amazing. A lot of shampoos, balms, oils, serums, gels, cleansing foams and other bottles can be found on the shelves of even small local stores. However, there is a natural care product that can compete with expensive cosmetic products in terms of its effectiveness.
Properties and composition of tar soap
Tar soap has been around for many years. It has long been used to treat various diseases of the skin and scalp: fungi, seborrhea, hair loss, itching. This “medicine” was widely available and so effective that it could be found in a noble estate and in a village hut.
The main role in the effectiveness of tar soap is played by the birch tar included in its composition. This substance is a natural antiseptic that perfectly regenerates the skin. Tar also has an antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory effect. The soap contains only 10% of the useful birch substance. The remaining 90% is the usual mixture required for the soap base.
The appearance of tar soap is not the most attractive: it is brown, somewhat similar to laundry soap. Also, many can be repelled by a pungent smell. Don’t worry: it will wear off in 10-15 minutes after use
Tar soap is very convenient to use. It is perfect for almost all family members, regardless of skin type or age (only dry-type women are recommended to be careful). It is necessary to use soap daily: it will reduce oily sheen, slow down inflammation. However, you will notice the first serious results only after a couple of weeks of use.
Using tar soap to heal your skin
Birch tar soap is excellent for many skin problems. It will relieve you of inflammation, acne, redness and other misfortunes. Tar soap also contributes to the rapid healing of wounds: it will dry and disinfect them.
For skin treatment, use soap twice a day, washing your face thoroughly. If necessary, replace your shower gel with it: tar will cope with irritations, furunculosis, reduce psoriasis, and narrow enlarged pores. You will forever forget about the unpleasant sensations in the intimate area after shaving if you use tar soap in the process.
However, don’t expect wonderful instant results.
According to the reviews of girls and women, you will see the effect of the “work” of tar soap only after prolonged use, for example, for a month
For faster results, use soap to create an effective mask. It is very simple to prepare it. Cut off a bar of soap and grate it. Add warm water and beat until thick foam forms. Apply it on your face, hold it for ten minutes and rinse well. You can also use spot-on soap. Apply a small amount of the product before bed to the pimple that appears, and by morning it will be almost invisible.
Please note that after using tar soap, your skin may feel dry and tight. Experts assure that this effect should not be scared: it will quickly disappear.
Tar soap can be used not only for the skin, but also for the hair. For many women who risked trying a remedy unusual for our time, it has become a real salvation. After all, birch tar stimulates blood circulation, reduces fragility and hair loss, and also fights dandruff and unpleasant diseases. The curls acquire a healthy look, become more shiny, elastic and obedient. Their growth is also significantly accelerated.
Very often, tar soap helps to slow down the processes of baldness and the appearance of gray hair.
However, for good results, shampoo soap must be used correctly. First, adjust the water: it shouldn’t be hot. Having entered into a reaction with it, tar soap will leave an unpleasant greasy residue on the hair.
Secondly, do not try to wash your hair directly with a piece of soap, use it correctly. Dampen your hair, lather the product in your hands. Spread the resulting foam over the head and the entire length. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, rinse it off.
Third, give your head and hair time to get used to the new product. You will notice good results after two or three applications. Also note that tar soap should be used intermittently as it dries out the skin.
For more convenient use, use liquid tar soap. Today there are many companies that produce unique shampoos based on birch / pine tar. According to many girls, Russian, Belarusian and Finnish cosmetics in this direction deserve the greatest confidence.
Precautions for using tar products
Tar soap, like any medicine, has its own contraindications. It cannot be used on very thin, sensitive, allergic skin. Also, do not experiment with tar for kidney problems.
Please note: an allergy to tar tends to develop not immediately, but gradually
After washing, be sure to use a nourishing cream that will prevent shrinkage and excessive dryness. You should not use soap all the time, be sure to take breaks for a month or two. They are especially necessary in difficult climatic periods (with frosty, windy weather).
