What could be better than taking a steam bath and taking off the touch of everyday fatigue and city dust. The balance of moisture and temperature is a real source of youth and beauty. But it is the scrubs for the bath that will make visiting the steam room the most effective and allow the skin to breathe in full force.

Not all types of peels can be used in steam rooms. However, bath body scrubs are safe and effective, as hard abrasives are not exposed to high temperatures, unlike chemical exfoliants.

Skin scrub is A simple procedure with a lot of advantages:

• exfoliates dead skin cells of the epidermis;
• cleanses pores;
• has a massage effect;
• fights pigment spots and shallow scars;
• tones;
• nourishes.

Due to the high concentration of hot steam, bath enhances all the beneficial properties of scrubs:

• exfoliation is softer than under normal conditions, as high humidity and temperature soften the keratinized layers of the epidermis;
• the pores expand, which allows them to be better cleaned;
• toxins are released, and nutrients penetrate deeper;
• temperature changes in the bath affect the increase in blood flow, cause the vessels to narrow and expand;
• thanks to peeling massage, blood vessels are significantly strengthened and stimulates oxygen metabolism in cells;
• the action of active substances under the influence of heat is enhanced, the effect of using exfoliants with targeted action (anti-cellulite, anti-aging, anti-hyperpigmentation, etc.) increases.

So, if you are losing weight or getting rid of cellulite, then by combining scrubs for a bath for weight loss and massage with brooms in saunas and steam rooms, you can stimulate blood microcirculation and the breakdown of subcutaneous fat, even out the relief of the epidermis, and restore elasticity.

And facial scrubs used in the bath maintain skin tone, remove wrinkles, relieve post-acne and hyperpigmentation.

However, not all scrubs are equally good in the bath, and When choosing a tool, it is desirable to adhere to the following criteria:

• natural composition- various derivatives of petroleum products and other chemicals, due to high temperatures and maximum open pores, penetrate deeper and harm more;
• compatibility with the type of epidermis- the skin of the body is usually normal or dry, and the skin of the face often combines oily, dry and normal areas;
• compliance with the composition of the type of problems being solved– each scrub ingredient has individual properties that affect certain cellular processes.

In natural scrubs The most commonly used ingredients are:

Ingredient	Properties
Honey	rich in vitamins, compensates for the lack of nutrients; stimulates metabolism; starts regeneration processes
Clay	removes toxins; dries up inflammation; has antimicrobial properties; removes excess sebum; contains a large amount of useful minerals; maintains elasticity

Ground nuts and fruit pits	antioxidants; supply the skin with vitamins and microelements; soften; improve metabolism
Essential oils	Each essential oil has individual properties and can tone, whiten, soothe, help cleanse, even out the tone and relief of the epidermis, etc.

This is just a small list of ingredients for bath exfoliants. And in cosmetic stores you can find jars with very exotic compositions.

However, for steam rooms, the issue of the harmful effects of chemical components is acute. Therefore, it is advisable to purchase scrubs for baths in handmade shops. It's even better to cook on your own. Especially, that for one visit to the bath, sauna, or hammam, considerable amounts of exfoliant are consumed.

How to use scrubs in the bath

Usually exfoliation is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. Bath masks and scrubs begin to be used when the skin is already steamed, as evidenced by open pores and profuse sweating. This usually happens after the 2nd or 3rd call. The exfoliant needs to be warmed up before use, so you can take it with you to the steam room.
2. After leaving the steam room, rinse under warm water, to wash away the salts and toxins that came out with sweat.
3. Apply exfoliant to cleansed, damp skin. It is advisable to have several types of scrubs with you: for different types of face and body skin.
4. Rub the composition with light movements along the massage lines starting at the feet and moving up. Usually the massage lasts for 1-2 minutes. But for problem areas, treatment time can be increased.
5. If an exfoliant with a natural composition (for example, homemade bath scrubs), then after scrubbing, the product is left on the skin for another 5-10 minutes.
6. Rinse off the exfoliant under a warm shower and gently pat your body dry with a towel.
7. Before leaving the bath, apply skin care products. Especially carefully should take care of the skin of the face in the cold season.

But scrubs are not for everyone. In order not to harm yourself, peeling is prohibited in the following cases:

• open mechanical damage to the skin;
• inflammation or viral diseases of the skin in an active form;
• recent medium or deep peels;
• allergy to individual components of the exfoliant.

It should be remembered that at high temperatures the effect of any active substances is enhanced. This may lead to allergic reactions. Therefore, it is worth using only those products that have already been repeatedly used and do not cause negative skin reactions.
