Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Using normal saline for facial compresses has the following effects:
1. Hydration: Applying normal saline solution to the face can replenish moisture in the skin, providing hydration and relieving dryness and tightness.
2. Reducing facial oiliness: Normal saline compresses can help remove accumulated oil and toxins from pores, reducing facial oiliness.
3. Pore tightening: Facial application of normal saline has a certain pore-tightening effect, making the skin smoother and finer.
4. Soothing and calming: Normal saline compresses can dilate the capillaries of the facial skin, enhance comfort, and help relieve discomfort caused by skin irritation or scratching.
5. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: Normal saline contains certain antibacterial components that can inhibit bacterial growth, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing.
