Pure tar for rashes

One of the most simple ways treating acne at home with tar is using the product in its pure form. Reviews from fans of the viscous dark substance indicate the effectiveness of this method of treating acne:

Tamara, 18 years old: “I use birch tar when inflamed acne appears on my face. I simply apply the product to the red bumps with a cotton swab and take a horizontal position for 20 minutes.

The fact is that the substance is difficult to remove from tissues, so to prevent the liquid from draining from my face and getting on my clothes, I just lie down and rest. It’s good for the skin and relaxation for the body. After the time has passed, I wash my face with water at room temperature. Sometimes I do contrast washes. Pimples disappear quickly."

Stas, 22 years old: “Despite bad smell remedies, I decided to take the advice of a friend and began treating acne on my face with birch tar. I didn’t bother too much and used it in its pure form.

I just applied it to the pimples and left it on for a little less than half an hour. At first I didn’t believe in the power of such a cheap product, but I was soon pleased with the results. Large pimples have noticeably decreased, redness has disappeared, and skin color has almost evened out.”

Does birch tar help with allergic rashes?

Reviews from doctors about this unusual traditional medicine are not entirely clear. Experts do not recommend taking tar internally, since in modern medicine it is used only as an external remedy.

Doctors also talk about the ineffectiveness of using birch bark extract to treat allergic acne. In this case, only minimizing or completely eliminating contact with the allergen will help remove the rash from the skin.

Conclusions

If the rash is not a reaction to an irritant, feel free to use the natural medicine that nature gave us.

Reviews

About six months ago I received a recipe from a friend, the result of which was simply amazing! You need to drop 5 drops of tar (birch) onto a small piece of bread, chew and swallow.

The taste, frankly speaking, is “not very good,” but over time you get used to it. So, the next day you will need to drop 6 drops, and so increase the dose daily to 10. You should stay at this amount for two weeks, after which, 1 drop at a time, reduce the dosage to 5 drops - the entire course should be 24 days.

I was amazed that already halfway through the course the skin became noticeably clearer, no acne, and besides, constipation and bloating will also be a thing of the past! However, you shouldn’t overuse tar either - you should definitely take breaks between courses, ideally they should be carried out in spring and autumn - twice a year.

I believe in the beneficial properties of tar 100%! I tried my best to cure the fungus between my fingers, and then I remembered that I had read somewhere about the antifungal effect of birch tar. I anointed it twice, and then forgot... remembering after a while, I saw that my fingers were clean - as if there had never been a problem! Therefore, I advise everyone to use pure tar against fungus.

Using a tar face mask

A material called tar obtained from birch wood is widely used in folk medicine, including cosmetology.

The use of tar is so widespread that another name for it is known - Russian oil. A special feature of the product is its specific smell, which discourages many women from using tar. But in vain, because birch resin (tar) helps to cope with such ailments as acne and skin fungi, and the exfoliating effect gets rid of old acne marks and normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The beneficial properties of the product, known since ancient times, do not end there. A tar face mask will help overcome the effect of so-called bulldog cheeks, that is, tighten the skin of the face and create a lifting effect.

The tar cleansing mask is best suited for oily skin; its use is not recommended for dry skin.

Due to the strong tightening and drying effect, it is best to use such a mask no more than 2 times a month.

And you definitely need to go through care procedures after washing off the product.

For those with combination skin, birch tar, and in particular a cleansing mask based on it, will help combat the oily T-zone. Some people note that in the summer they suffer from excessive dryness of the skin, and in the summer, on the contrary, they are puzzled by the fact that they do not know what to do with the oiliness and shine of the skin. In the hot season, when the problem of skin shine is relevant, you can safely use tar to combat imperfections.

Rules and stages of using tar

In addition to the above rule about the frequency of use, the use of a tar mask has a number of other features.

To achieve the best effect, before applying the product, the face must be steamed in a steam bath.

For allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin Before using tar, it is better to test the product on small area(elbow bend) and watch the reaction. In case good luck, you can already start using the mask on your face.

The time to use any tar-based mask recipe is minutes, since the product has a strong tightening effect.

There are rules for removing the product from the skin that must be followed to get a positive effect from the procedure. Any tar-based product should be washed off with cold and then warm water (to activate the processes). Lemon juice or tonic can help cope with possible dryness, which should be applied to the skin after rinsing with water. The mask tightens the skin, so this point should not be forgotten.

To get rid of specific unpleasant odor and to improve the condition of facial skin, it would be useful to apply cream after removing the “birch” product.

Recipes for making a cleansing mask

Reviews about the product made from birch resin are mostly laudatory. Most often, users note the cleansing effect of tar. You can use both liquid tar and soap based on it. There are several recipes for preparing the product:

Grate the dry soap on a coarse grater and mix in equal proportions with the nourishing cream, then apply to the skin. After 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Using soap as the main ingredient is possible without cream. So the effect of drying the skin will be several times stronger. A similar recipe is aimed against acne. You just need to lather a bar of soap and apply the foam to your face. Recommendations for the duration of the procedure remain the same.

You can also fight spot skin problems; to do this, grind the soap until it turns into a pulp and apply it to the pimples, leave for a maximum of 30 minutes and then rinse or remove with cotton pads.

Birch tar can also be used to make an excellent cleansing facial scrub. To do this, apply coarse salt to the skin on top of the foamed soap and leave for a minute, and after waiting for a while, rub your face with massage movements with dry hands and then rinse. There is a similar recipe against blackheads, but instead of salt they use baking soda, known for its whitening and cleansing properties. Birch tar mixed with honey has anti-inflammatory properties. The ingredients mixed in equal proportions are applied to the facial skin for 15 minutes, and you can forget about small cracks and redness of the skin.

Reviews of the mask, which can be found in large numbers, note not only a cleansing effect, but also a lifting effect. There is a recipe against bulldog, sagging cheeks and to enhance the lifting effect. There are no fundamental differences between a cleansing mask and a lifting one; the basis is also tar soap, gradually foamed with boiled water. Apply the resulting foam to your face and let dry. After the first coat, apply a second coat, paying attention special attention lower part of the face, cheeks, and décolleté. To prevent drying, you can add heavy cream or sour cream to the foam. After the procedure, also use tonic (or lemon) and moisturizer.

Liquid birch tar is also quite suitable for skin care procedures. Reviews about it can be found not only in the cosmetology section, because it is also used in folk medicine. In cosmetology, tar in liquid form can replace a tonic by adding a few drops of salicylic alcohol and ordinary ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 10 to 1 to the solution.

Based on it, you can also make your own soap, the use of which is discussed above. It’s not at all difficult to make: a piece baby soap grate and leave in a steam bath. Add a generous spoonful of birch tar to the resulting mixture, mix well and let it harden. After this, you can use the resulting soap in the same way as store-bought soap.

Birch tar face mask. Indications for use:

• A tar-based cleansing mask is perfect for combating excess oily skin.
• The steam effect of the main ingredient eliminates blackheads (a mask and a tar-based tonic will be optimal for getting rid of this skin deficiency).

Contraindications:

• as already mentioned above, a mask, both cleansing and any other, is not suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies
• dry skin is also an obstacle to using an ingredient such as birch tar in a mask.

There are quite a few positive feedback and about a purchased, ready-made mask based on birch tar. The 100% naturalness of such a product may be questioned, but, nevertheless, the composition of the mask is as close as possible to a home recipe. It is worth noting that such funds are not very expensive and are also suitable for any family budget. However, making a mask with your own hands is not only a guarantee of naturalness, but also a more economical way to put your own skin in order, cope with many problems and forget about acne and sagging skin for a long time.

And small subtleties of use are characteristic of all natural ingredients, and this is rather not a disadvantage, but, on the contrary, an advantage, as it emphasizes naturalness and closeness to nature.
