In addition to being widely used in medicine, mainly to perform nebulizations, treat wounds or promote rehydration of the body, saline can also be a great option for washing and caring for the face, since it is better absorbed by the skin and promotes a more impurity, leaving the skin of the face softer and hydrated.

How to use the serum on the face
The ideal is that the saline is applied to the face right after the bath, as it is possible to remove the chlorine present in the shower water, for example, leaving the skin healthier.
To apply to the skin, just wet the cotton with the serum and tap it on the face and then allow the serum to be absorbed by the skin. It is not advisable to pass a towel to dry the face after passing the saline so that it has time to be absorbed.
To close the pores and prolong the duration of the makeup or reduce the oiliness of the skin, for example, the ideal is that the serum is cold, because then, when placed on the face, there will be a vasoconstriction, which reduces the oiliness and causes the makeup lasts longer.
In the case of dark circles caused by sleepless nights, for example, the ideal is that cottons are placed in the region of the dark circles, preferably with cold saline, and leave for about 20 minutes and then let it dry naturally.
Another option to make the skin more hydrated is to use saline together with aloe vera, which is a medicinal plant that has nourishing, regenerating and moisturizing properties, being considered a great natural option to improve the appearance of the skin, for example.
