In the baths wash! - convinced the beautiful Anastasia of the "Gardemarin" distrustful Frenchman in the performance of Boyarsky. But he did not believe, and was completely right. For the washing itself takes in this magical process the most that neither is the last place. In this bathhouse gossip. And not only over fate, but also over their appearance. After all, a bright blush, and fluffy friability of hair, and milk tenderness of the skin, and the aroma of hay, so beloved by men, is acquired precisely there - in the mysterious depths of the steam room.

To the bath was not only an exotic version of the usual bath, but a real cosmetic procedure, first of all, prepare in advance and grab in the bath some miraculous broth. "Pure" hot steam through numerous nerve endings in the skin has a strong effect on the vascular system. Superficial blood vessels greatly expand and improve the blood supply to the skin. The pores of the skin expand, from them come out softened grease-mud plugs, and the cleaned pores are disinfected by high temperature. That is why steam baths are especially useful for owners of oily and problem skin. But the youthful (so-called vulgar) acne with dry skin can be treated with steam, after lubricating the skin with a fat cream.

To strengthen and diversify the effect of the steam bath, to the water from which steam is produced, add different medicinal plants containing essential oils. Healing decoctions are prepared right before use, adding to each liter of water on a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh plants. In this case, along with the steam deep inside the skin penetrate a variety of bioactive substances. Take care that you always have chamomile on hand, which has an anti-inflammatory effect on dry and flaky skin; rosemary, white yarrow or wormwood, improving the blood supply of dry, fading and wrinkled skin; Field horsetail, stimulating fading and flabby skin; hops, removing redness and eruptions of nervous origin.

If you are a city-dweller in the third generation and do not distinguish the plantain from a tea rose, you can add 2-3 drops of ready-made essential oil, bought in a store with the appropriate label.

However, it is not necessary to rush to extremes and instead of relaxing, the entire bath session is constantly doing all sorts of cosmetic and therapeutic procedures. By the way, putting on the skin of masks at this moment is simply useless. While the skin is sweating, the pores are opened and cleared, easily and actively released, not only from metabolic waste, but also from all that you are intensively rubbing on it at this time. Therefore, leave all miraculous and expensive cosmetics for later.

Attention! Before entering the steam room, protect hair, especially wet hair, with a towel or woolen hat. It is very convenient and effective to time for a hike in the pair coloring or intensive treatment or coloring of the hair.

Apply a coloring compound or an intense mask to your hair, wrap in a cellophane bag and a terry towel - and on the shelves. Hair will be reliably protected from heat, and high temperatures will greatly enhance the effect of coloring or treatment. And more: in advance, necessarily lubricate the lips and skin under the eyes, the back side of the foot with a fat cream or oil - these areas from heat "burn" the fastest and completely at the same time imperceptibly for you.
