Acne remedies with birch tar

In its purest form

Perhaps the easiest way to use the drug when fighting pimples. Apply directly to problem areas. After 15-20 minutes, remove any remaining product with a damp cloth.

It is recommended to use the medicinal component for acne using this method with extreme caution, as it significantly dries out the epidermis.

Tar soap

It is not recommended to use the soap you buy in the store every day, as frequent use causes peeling of the skin.

Tar soap: recipe

To make medicinal soap at home you will need:

1. Baby soap.
2. Grater.
3. Saucepan.
4. Water.
5. Birch tar.
6. Essential oils (if desired, to get a pleasant scent).
7. Soap molds.

Preparation: grate baby soap on a coarse grater. Set up a water bath in a saucepan. Melt grated soap shavings on it, adding a tablespoon of tar and water. Mix the resulting mass well. If you decide to add essential oils, then you need to do this after removing from the steam bath. Pour into previously prepared molds and let the mixture cool. Place in a cold room/refrigerator until completely hardened (about two to three days).

Tar soap prepared at home can be used every day.

Gel: recipe

To prepare a product no less effective than tar soap, we need a product.

1. Cleansing gel or liquid soap available at home.
2. Tar.

It is very simple to prepare such a gel: add 2-3 ml of birch tar to the bottle with the chosen cleanser and shake.

You should use the finished product just like any other cleanser.

Tar cream: recipe

To make a fast-acting cream you need the following ingredients:

1. Any baby cream containing panthenol.
2. Birch tar.

Add a few drops of birch tar to the existing cream and mix well.

For the best result, before applying the cream made according to this recipe, cleanse the problem area with a cleansing gel that also contains this natural product.

Tar mask

A mask with birch tar can be used for all skin types, but those with dry skin should do it more carefully. If you feel a burning sensation as a result of using such a mask, you should stop using it. Apply a tar face mask to pre-treated skin. Should not be used more than once a week.

Recipes:

1. Mix a tablespoon of tar soap grated with coarse shavings with the rich cream. Mix well. Apply the resulting mass to the skin in a thick layer. After 20-25 minutes, rinse off using cool water. This manufacturing method is effective for oily and combination skin types.
2. Add three tablespoons of honey to a teaspoon of birch tar. Mix thoroughly. Apply the resulting mask to the problem area for 20 minutes. Rinse off using cool water. Effective for the same skin types as the first method of making a mask. For dry skin types, you need to add a teaspoon of olive oil to the described recipe. Apply not very thickly to the problem area for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off the product with warm water. For the best effect, after using this product, apply a nourishing cream to the area treated with the mask.
3. The following tar face mask is recommended for use against blackheads and pimples: mix 20-25g of grated tar soap into warm water and bring to the consistency of a thick porridge. Apply the resulting mass to the skin heated by steam. After 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm water. To treat acne and blackheads, use this mask no more than once a week.

Use with ointments

To improve the results of ointments for the treatment of acne, you can supplement the following ointments with a few drops of birch distillation: sulfur, zinc, salicylic.

Application: Apply directly to problem areas of the skin. After an hour, remove any remaining ointment with a damp cloth. Afterwards, wash your face with warm water. You need to use enhanced ointments less than 3-4 times a week so as not to harm the skin.

Tincture for itching and rashes

This tincture is also suitable for dry skin types. In a water bath, prepare 25g of dried chamomile in 100-150ml of water. Strain the cooled tincture through cheesecloth. Mix tar soap into the resulting decoction, foaming it. Leave the resulting mass on your face for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Oral use

It is used for internal consumption not in its pure form, but together with slightly warmed milk. A glass of milk requires 1-5 drops of tar. It is not recommended to use this mixture internally if you have kidney problems.

1. It is necessary to dilute the drug.
2. Consult a healthcare professional before use.
3. Do not take the drug for longer than indicated in the instructions

There is another option for safe ingestion - tar water. For 4 liters of water you need to take 300-500 ml of tar, taken in its pure form. Mix and leave the resulting result for 2-3 days in a place inaccessible to sunlight. Then drain the remaining liquid, first getting rid of any sediment that appears.

It is also possible to be treated with birch tar and bread. Using a pipette, place 4-5 drops of the liquid product onto a slice of bread. Take bread with birch component before bed. Every day you take this product, increase the number of drops by one. When the number reaches 10, stop increasing it. Take bread with 10 drops of birch tar for two weeks. Afterwards, start reducing the number of drops to 4-5, decreasing by one every day. The course lasts 24-26 days.

Take 100 ml of tar water in the morning 30 minutes before meals. The course is continued for 2-3 weeks.

Birch tar for acne should be taken in courses several times a year - in autumn and spring. It improves immunity, helps cleanse the body, remove waste and toxins from it, improve the metabolic process, as a result of which the condition of the skin improves.

In fact, they don’t just take it internally. I drank when I cleansed my body. A few months of weed-ants and only then, with the permission of the herbalist, a couple of drops of tar in a tablespoon. And I drank for very few days.
Don’t even try to engage in amateur activities.

I personally wouldn't risk taking something like that internally. The liver can be destroyed.

Author, I was going to drink it too, until I bought it and opened it. The smell penetrated to the brain, acrid burning, and my throat tingled. I don't know how to drink it.

If your goal is to clear your skin of acne, then mix foam and tar. And just wash yourself. You need to fight acne not with “body cleansing” (pseudo-scientific nonsense, popular for selling dietary supplements), but with blood tests for androgens, a visit to the gynecologist/ultrasound, culture of the pimple contents, mite testing, tretinoin, salicylic peels, etc.

Tar used to lubricate cart wheels and boots.

I drank it in order to get rid of chronic tonsillitis, since I once saw reviews that someone was cured of it with the help of tar (and I’m already tired of treating it, so I’m trying everything)
I drank for a month. There was no effect at all in terms of health - it didn’t get better or worse.

Good day to all! I would like to leave a review here about my bitter, in all understandings, experience. My friend and I decided to try to “cleanse the body and improve the condition of the skin” with the help of this recipe. As soon as I took a piece of bread with those unfortunate five drops of tar into my mouth, I immediately felt as if I had drunk paint. Then I swallowed it with difficulty and immediately ran to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth, because I simply couldn’t stand that feeling (although if I understand that it will help, I usually tolerate it). It was bad, terribly bad. At first I felt slightly intoxicated and wanted to sleep. At night I woke up all wet, hot and I was terribly sick. I barely fell asleep, the next day I couldn’t eat anything at all, even the word “food” made me sick. Most likely, I had a banal poisoning. My friend, however, bore it all better; she felt a little nauseous in the morning, but not for long, she had a normal breakfast and felt great all day. So, guys, I’m not discouraging you, perhaps this recipe will suit you, but I’m just warning you that if you cannot swallow this muck, it’s better to spit it out and forget about it and use some other proven means.

Video: “A simple recipe for tar soap from scratch”

I was told that I often get acne because my body is clogged with toxins and my digestive system is not working properly. And they recommended cleaning yourself with tar. I started drinking it, diluted in water, according to a special scheme. After a couple of weeks I noticed that my stomach began to work better. And after the course of treatment, the skin also cleared up - it became smooth and soft.

I had severe acne and increased oily skin. I was recommended to lubricate acne with tar. I bought this black oily mass at the pharmacy. I started burning pimples 2 times a day. The smell is, of course, terrible. But after a few days I noticed that the small pimples had dried up and almost disappeared, and the large subcutaneous pimples became less inflamed. The abscess that was on my forehead matured in a couple of days and the pus came out without any problems.

My grandmother really loves natural products. When I had pimples, I always smeared them with tar. The acne went away quickly, but I really didn't like the smell. Therefore, now I use tar only in diluted form. I add it to my face cream, the effect is almost the same, but the smell is not noticeable.
