Although the idea to use fizzling water on the skin sounds startling, many European countries are using sparkling water, also known as carbonated water, to clear their skin.
The idea to use sparkling water for skin treatment was first originated by women in the spas of Japan and Korea. Now the valuable use of this type of water has spread all over the world.
Ever wonder why sparkling water is becoming trendier day by day?
Well, it is obviously because the carbonated water is highly beneficial to the skin. It makes your skin firmer, tighter, and revitalizes the skin by killing dead cells.
Are you interested to know how you can use carbonated water to enhance your skin? Read on to find it out.
But first, it is significant to know the ingredients and equipment you might need for using sparkling water on your face. Don’t worry there aren’t many things that you need to have.
All that’s required is:
- a carbonated water bottle
- normal tap water
- cotton pad
- a large bowl
1. Cleanse Your Face
Many people might not know, but cleansing the face before washing the face is mandatory- cleansing makes the skin dirt and oil free.
To cleanse the face, you can use a fresh washcloth or a clean and soft cotton pad. Gently massage it around your nose, head and the cheeks to get rid of the dirt, oil and unwanted bacteria residing on your skin.
2. Dunk Your Face in the Carbonated Water
The first question that pops into the mind is how to use the sparkling water? Are you supposed to splash the water on your face? Immerse your face in the water? Or sprinkle it instead?
Well, the most professional way is to use a large glass bowl that is big enough to accommodate your face. Fill it with sparkling water and the normal tap water in equal quantity.
However, make sure not to fill it all the way to the brim. Otherwise, when you will dip your face in the bowl, the water will rise and splatter out of it which will create a lot of mess.
Once you have cleansed your face with a cotton pad or a wash cloth, dunk your face into the carbonated water for about 10 to 20 seconds.
3. Sprinkle Your Face with Sparkling Water
If your skin is sensitive and dunking your face in the bowl is not your thing, then what you can do is mix the normal tap water and the carbonated water in a spray bottle.
Sprinkle the water on your skin for 20 seconds. But make sure that you do not spray the water for more than 20 seconds.
4. Wipe Your Face with Carbonated Water
Another alternative is to wipe your face gently with sparkling water using a cotton pad or a soft washcloth, and see for yourself how fresh your skin looks!
Once you are done cleansing your face using any of the ways suggested above, it is recommended to dab your face with a dry cloth, and then proceed with your usual skin care routine.
Surely, washing your face with sparkling water on a regular basis will provide you with many skin benefits. Not only does it remove dead skin cells, it firms and tightens up the skin and also cleanses your pores.
