Bath scrubs made from honey, coffee and salt at home

How to use peeling in a bathhouse

In baths and saunas, scrubs begin to be used after the skin has been steamed. This is somewhere after the second run. The first visit to the steam room does not smear the skin with anything - it just warms up. On the second visit, you can rub yourself with a paste of salt and water, and so, with “salted” skin, go into the steam room. Sweating will be very strong, the pores will open and cleanse. After a shower and rest, it’s time for a scrub.

The scrub is applied to the entire body. But don’t just smear it, but rub and massage the skin well. The massage begins from the soles of the feet, thoroughly kneading the most problematic areas. Problematic areas can be understood as dry and rough areas - elbows, knees, hands, etc.

The scrub is not just applied to the body. The skin is well massaged and rubbed

Areas affected by cellulite require increased attention: increased blood circulation helps break up compactions that give the skin an uneven texture. By steaming in the steam room, you have already increased blood flow, and with massage and rubbing it will become even more active, removing toxins and excess water. The skin will tighten, become more elastic and smooth. So any scrub in a bath can be considered an anti-cellulite procedure. Moreover, many of the products used are doing a good job of combating this problem.

Recipes for facial skin

There are many recipes for coffee and honey, and all of them are noted for their effective influence. But first, you should get acquainted with two quick and simple methods of cleansing and moisturizing your facial skin.

Mask with a moisturizing effect from kefir

This is the simplest and most effective remedy that will immediately moisturize and restore dry and chapped skin. You can even apply this product to your entire body. To do this, kefir is applied in a small layer and left for fifteen minutes. Afterwards everything is washed off with warm water.

Body scrubs

Cleaning compounds can be made from products found in most kitchens. And if suddenly they don’t exist, then it won’t be difficult to buy them. These are not exotic, but familiar products: salt, honey, kritsa, ground coffee, etc.

With honey

In general, honey is an amazing product. If you haven't used it on your skin before, you will be very surprised. The effect is better than that of expensive cosmetics. So, what scrubs with honey can be made for a bath:

1. Take two parts honey and one part ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth and apply all over the body, including the neck and face. You need to stay in the steam room for 4-5 minutes. This is enough, but if you are comfortable, it can be longer. Everything is washed off with warm water. The skin feels soft and silky to the touch.
2. Honey with coffee. The proportions are the same. But this composition acts more towards the anti-cellulite effect. This scrub can definitely be called anti-cellulite; Coffee contains substances that give the skin special elasticity. There are even hot wraps with coffee, which can significantly reduce orange peel in a few sessions.
3. Honey and salt. These components are taken in equal parts, you need to stay in the steam room for 8 minutes. The result is well-opened pores, silky skin. This scrub is also suitable for oily skin, but you need to proceed with caution.
4. Ground hazelnuts, olive oil, honey - in equal parts. The scrub should be on the skin for 2-3 minutes. In addition to cleansing, there is also replenishment with oils.

Honey in the bath makes the skin smooth and elastic

Coffee

Coffee itself can be used as a scrub. Just take the ground one and rub it over your wet body. The effect is felt almost immediately. Ground coffee, including already used coffee, contains linoleic acid, which significantly increases skin elasticity. The second component, caffeine, redistributes fat, making stretch marks less noticeable. In general, it has a very beneficial effect on the condition and tone of the skin.

Coffee scrub in a bathhouse is a great way to improve your appearance

If you want to achieve a significant effect, grind the grains before going to the bathhouse. The effect will be a little brighter. Ground, which is sold in packs, and even the one that has already been boiled, also works well. You just need to brew coffee without sugar or extraneous additives. Its impact is a little weaker, but not significantly.

Here are some recipes for homemade coffee scrubs:

1. Mix milk and ground coffee in equal quantities. This is a composition for oily and normal skin. For dry milk, replace milk with cream. To achieve a whitening effect, use kefir.
2. Take equal amounts of honey and coffee and mix. Add a few drops (3-5) of almond or coconut oil. The procedure should take about 15 minutes.
3. Take high-fat cottage cheese and coffee and mix. They massage for 10 minutes, and then keep it in the steam room for the same amount of time.
4. Coffee with salt. Mix dry ingredients. For dry skin, add vegetable oils - olive, almond, even sunflower; for oily skin - a little water. If there are oils in the composition, active replenishment occurs simultaneously with cleansing.

From salt

Salt scrubs in the bath are steaming and opening pores. They are smeared during the second entry into the steam room. You can use table salt or sea salt. Marine has a richer mineral composition, which is why they believe that it is better to use. Sea salt is sold in pharmacies, grocery stores and departments selling cosmetics. The only warning is to not use salt with flavorings or any other additives. Only pure product. Any additives in a bath on steamed skin can lead to rashes, which will make few people happy.

Salt scrubs open pores well

The salt is taken not coarse, but not the finest, then softening components are added. There is no need to rub the body hard - the salt, under the influence of steam, will actively penetrate the pores without massage. The compositions of scrubs with bath salts are as follows:

• Salt and water. It should be a paste. For those whose skin is dry and prone to irritation, replace water with milk or cream. Apply to the body, go into the steam room for 10-15 minutes. Sweat flows very heavily. So much so that you might need a spare towel. The composition is washed off with warm water.
• This scrub is made from salt with blue clay. It will help get rid of acne. You will need 2 tablespoons of clay and oatmeal, a spoon of sea salt. First, soak the clay in a small amount of water. When it turns into a paste, add the rest of the ingredients, mix quickly, and apply to the body with a light massage. If you have acne, do not rub too hard - you will damage the inflamed skin. Sit in the steam room for about 10 minutes. Then get out and wait until the scrub dries on your body. In this case, the feeling will be “tightness”. Rinse off with warm water. After several procedures, the inflammation will become much less.

Solving the problem of inflammation, increased fat content

Periodically occurring acne on the surface of the body can form against the background of hormonal imbalances, increased work of the sebaceous glands, and deviations in metabolic processes. You can get rid of unsightly rashes by cleaning clogged pores and sebaceous ducts.

Delicate bath scrubs are prepared according to the following recipe:

• two large spoons of blue cosmetic clay are poured with warm water - the mixture should resemble kefir;
• add two tablespoons of oatmeal to it;
• After mixing, add a large spoonful of fine sea salt.

Before going to the bathhouse, you must prepare the body scrub in the indicated order - the oatmeal should not become completely soaked, and the sea salt should not dissolve. Application to the skin of the entire body occurs 10 minutes before leaving the bath.

After the mass dries, it is washed off under a cool shower. After several procedures, the general condition of the dermis will noticeably improve, it will acquire additional softness and velvety.

Fighting cellulite

Orange peel needs to be dealt with actively: a good massage is necessary so that the fatty deposits that have accumulated in the deformed cells seep through their walls. Therefore, we pay increased attention to such “problem” areas, kneading them well. Compositions for anti-cellulite scrubs are usually multi-component. In the bath they act in the most active way - the temperature of the surface layers of the skin is increased, which activates metabolic processes.

Here are some cellulite scrubs that can be used in a steam room:

1. Mix 2 tablespoons of dry ground coffee and salt. Grind a little half a glass of oatmeal, mix with coffee and salt. Add citrus oils - 6 drops, rosemary - 4 drops, cinnamon - 3 drops. Add some water. Rub the skin in problem areas for 7-8 minutes, then spend about the same amount of time in the steam room.

50 grams of salt and sugar, a tablespoon of ground coffee. In another bowl, add 4 drops of citrus oils to 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix everything and rub the body. Just be careful: the composition turns out to be tough, do not injure the skin. You need to massage for 3 minutes, then 5-10 minutes in the steam room. Rinse with warm water, then cool.

Cellulite recedes faster in a bathhouse

Brooms are very helpful in the fight against cellulite and also stimulate weight loss. This is a kind of massage that activates blood circulation. Read about what types of brooms there are and how to steam them in the article “How to steam a broom for a bath”

Wrap: recipe made from coffee and honey

The wrapping procedure helps not only against cellulite, it is carried out for such problems as:

Scrubs in a facial bath

Since the skin on the face is more delicate and thin, you need to use fine grinding, small particles. Massage along massage lines without stretching the skin. Do not use scrubs on the eye area. The skin here is very thin, and active ingredients will only cause irritation.

1. Honey and ground cinnamon. If you find candied honey, use it. Mix in equal proportions and apply to face and neck. Massage. Go into the steam room for 5-10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
2. Mix half a glass of oatmeal with 3 tablespoons of milk and cream. If it turns out too thick, add warm water. After massaging your face, go into the steam room for 15-20 minutes. Remove with warm water.

When preparing homemade facial scrubs, use well-ground ingredients.
These recipes for homemade bath scrubs do not require large material costs, but are very effective. After using them, the skin does not feel tight, which often happens after using ready-made cosmetics. After scrubs, you need to nourish and moisturize your skin.

Types of peeling products

You can make your own peeling product at home or purchase a jar of ready-made composition in a store. So, you bought a ready-made body scrub. How to use this product correctly and with what frequency? This information can be read on the packaging.

All products in this category are united by one feature - the presence of abrasive particles, which perform an exfoliating function. They come in different sizes. The larger it is, the harsher the scrub. This is important to know when choosing. To gently cleanse sensitive skin, it is recommended to use products with small particles. Otherwise, the skin can be easily damaged.

Today, many people use body scrub. We will tell you how to use it further. In fact, the very principle of applying the product does not depend at all on the size of the particles in it. They can be natural or synthetic. Since the first ones are salt, sugar, ground coffee, crushed fruit seeds, they can be quite aggressive due to their imperfectly smooth surface and different sizes. Synthetic particles, on the contrary, have a round shape without sharp corners. They are simply created for very delicate skin.

Cosmetics are made on different bases. For dry and sensitive skin, it is better to choose oil-based products. For normal skin and those with a tendency to oily skin, a gel base is recommended. Homemade scrubs are quite easy to make. Sour cream, olive oil, honey, and shower gel are suitable as a base. It is advisable to make such an amount of mixture that it is enough for one application.

Deep cleaning

The second most necessary product for a bath is, of course, a scrub. To finally get rid of old skin scales and wash away everything that has accumulated, Russian ladies have been using preparations made from honey from time immemorial. Thick and sticky, it penetrates deeply into the pores opened in the steam room and cleanses the skin almost from the inside.

You can simply smear the problem areas of the body with honey, do a honey massage, either gluing your hand to the honey, or trying to peel it off, and then wash it off. You can also prepare a honey-based scrub - a product that includes hard particles that promote exfoliation.

Honey-based scrubs add ground coffee beans, cinnamon, dried orange peels, or any other harsh food that can be ground. If you have problematic skin with a lot of rashes, scrubs with coarse particles are suitable for you. If the skin is tender and vulnerable, you need to grind the coffee or cinnamon finely, to the point of pollen.

The benefits of honey

After rubbing the body with honey in the bath, intense sweating is activated. The sweat released in the steam room removes many toxins and waste from the body. Cleanses the pores of the skin; the stronger the sweating in the bath, the greater the healing effect we get.

Bee honey on the skin not only increases sweating itself, it also improves cleansing and has a healing effect. Heals wounds, relieves inflammation.

After honey, the skin smoothes out, becomes elastic and clean, wrinkles disappear. In addition, honey relieves pain in joints, muscles and spine. It is good to use honey therapy for colds (when there is no high temperature).

Rules of application

In order for honey to fully exhibit its healing properties, you should know how to properly use honey in a bath or sauna.

• The mask is applied after thorough steaming two or three times.
• The mixture for external use is prepared in advance so that the composition is completely infused.
• Do not apply the honey-salt mask if there are open wounds, scratches, or inflamed areas on the skin.
• After a wellness session, you should not rush to leave the dressing room - the body should rest and restore its temperature balance.

How to use honey after a bath

It is most convenient to end a bath session with a final face mask when all manipulations with the body are completed. Smearing honey in a bathhouse as a cosmetic cream will help saturate the skin with vitamins, smooth it out, and give it a fresh, rested look.

The mask, which is absolutely not inferior in the final result to expensive creams, is made from honey with the addition of lemon or aloe juice, cinnamon, and other aromatic ingredients. The composition is applied at the end of the bath procedures, left for a while, and carefully washed off. It is important not to wipe after washing, but to carefully pat your face dry with a paper towel.

Everyone is well aware of the best way to apply sweets externally after a bath - tea, preferably herbal, with a portion of aromatic honey will consolidate the healing effect of bath procedures.

Types of bath masks and rules for their use

Many bathhouse visitors believe that masks on the body or face must be applied before entering the steam room. However, it is not. If you apply a mask and go to the steam room, then under the influence of hot air it will heat up and flow, being washed off by the sweat released. As a result, the effectiveness of the mask will decrease. In addition, some ingredients of the cosmetic mixture are destroyed by hot steam and do not provide a beneficial effect.

According to the rules, you need to apply a mask in the bathhouse after you leave the steam room, and not immediately, but after a few minutes. True, there are some types of bath masks intended for use before entering the steam room. They are called “perspiration accelerators” because their main task is to activate the process of sweating. This product opens under the influence of steam, increases blood circulation and improves the process of removing toxins. You can apply these masks before entering the steam room. They are easy to make at home.

Do not sit in the steam room for too long, otherwise you may get heatstroke. It is better to make several passes for 10 minutes each. After leaving the steam room, you can douse yourself with cool water or dive into the pool. Alternating exposure to heat and cold on the skin perfectly tones it.

Knowledgeable people recommend applying masks to the face and body after the second entry into the steam room or sauna. During this time, the skin will have time to warm up properly, the pores will open, and the bulk of the toxins will have time to come out.

You can use several different masks alternately. First of all, it is advisable to cleanse the skin of impurities and dead particles with a scrub, and then nourish and moisturize it. Together, these procedures will give an amazing effect.
