Applying mineral water for skin care , you need to know that carbonated mineral water, before becoming a cosmetic, should stand 30-40 minutes in an open bowl. So it leaves carbon dioxide, which is able to dry the skin and cause its irritation. Recommendations of scientists are as follows: in "live" water should contain 200-500 mg salt per liter (this water is slightly mineralized). More salt-saturated water is not suitable for washing.
Fatty, porous and combination skin should be washed with a mineral water with a high salt content: it will help narrow the pores and reduce sebaceous gloss. Ground low mineralized water perfectly tones and softens normal or dry skin.
If you use mineral water "Borjomi Classic", "Svalyava", "Mirgorodskaya", "Narzan", "Yessentuki" for washing, this will help to solve a lot of skin problems. After removing makeup, mineral water can become a good tonic, which will help prevent stretching of the skin.
1. Washing with mineral water. If you wash your face with mineral water every day, you can forget about dryness and scaling of the skin.
2. Mineral ice cubes. To narrow the blood vessels, pores, you can wash yourself, wipe your face with ice slices, prepared from mineral water. From ice massage, facial muscles contract and strengthen. The trained muscles support the skin better, so wrinkles do not appear longer.
3. Lotion with mineral water. Bring 200-250 ml of mineral water to a boil and brew 2 tablespoons of herbs. For oily and combination skin, take nettle, chamomile or calendula. For dry and normal skin, mint or birch leaves. The broth should be infused in a closed container for 20-30 minutes, then strain. Keep the lotion in the refrigerator, but not longer than 5 days. Wipe them skin every time after washing.
4. Useful spray. Many cosmetic companies produce sprays with thermal water. If you irrigate the face during the day from such a spray, then decorative cosmetics will better hold. Small sprays produce a micro-massage of the skin and perfectly moisturize it. Irrigation with ordinary mineral water on the skin is not worse. Pour mineral water into a bottle with spray nozzle and cover the face with watery dust at least every day. This is especially useful during the heating season. Hot batteries make the air in the room very dry, which causes the skin to lose moisture intensively.
5. Masks with mineral water
- Mask for oily, porous, inflammatory skin from mineral water. Bodyag - powdered algae (you can buy in a pharmacy), - dilute with mineral water to the consistency of gruel and apply to the face. When the mask dries, rinse it with a mineral water.

- If your nails break and break, then regular mineral baths will heal and strengthen them. Put your fingers in a container with "strongly saline" mineral water for 10 minutes. Then, to fix the effect of mineral water, cover the nails with base lacquer (what is applied under the decorative varnish), which contains calcium.
