Make Superior Skin Cleansers at Home

Are you tired of paying top-dollar for skin cleansers that never work? Then follow these recipes for home remedy skin cleansers, and never waste money on inferior products again.

For your body, the best ingredient you can use is sea salt. Mix it with water to the consistency of paste, and rub it on your knees, elbows and feet to remove dead skin. For more sensitive skin, grind oatmeal flakes in a clean coffee grinder, mix with brown sugar, aloe, and lemon juice.

Oatmeal can also be mixed with yogurt to create an effective facial cleanser. For a facial scrub, mix yogurt and walnuts (finely ground). Mix witch hazel and rosemary for a refreshing facial toner.

Facial masks are also easy to make at home. Experiment with ingredients such as oatmeal, honey, and mashed fruits and veggies such as cucumbers, strawberries, or peaches.

Looking for the benefits of Alpha hydroxy-acids, but tired of paying the price? Don’t worry – these acids are found naturally in papayas, pineapples, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, apples, and sugar cane. You can puree or mash any combination of these and mix it with sugar or milk for a mask that can be left on for up to 30 minutes.

Vitamin C is also great for your skin, and it can be found in citrus fruits as well as veggies such as peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Experiment with combos to achieve your own personal recipe. It won’t take long to find the aroma and consistency you prefer, and your skin will look and feel great!

Acne Prevention-5 Tips to Stop Acne Early

To prevent acne you need to first understand the cause of acne.

Acne occurs when hairs follicles become clogged and then infected. Hair follicles secrete an oil that lubricates the hair shaft, this secretion is perfectly normal. The problem occurs when the oil glands produce too much oil, this extra oil can get trapped by the pore around the hair follicle. If the pore seals up it allows bacteria to grow beneath the skin. This bacteria then irritates the skin causing what we all no as a pimple. If the acne becomes severe it can form cysts below the skin, this type of acne is called cystic acne. Cystic acne is identified for being swollen, red, and can be painful. Now that the cause of acne is understood, what are ways to prevent it?

1. First and foremost do not pop your pimples. Squeezing pimples can cause your acne to become worse, There is increased chances of infection, also you may push pus in the pimple deeper into the skin. This increases your chance of developing cystic acne.

2. Everyone should wash your face twice daily. When washing your face do not scrub your skin, this could cause your acne to become worse. A gentle cleaning twice per day is sufficient.

3. Try to avoid areas where food is being fried. Frying food causes the grease to become airborne it then settles onto your skin. With this grease on your skin the chances of clogged pores increase.

4. Girls should avoid using cosmetics that are oil based, this will also lead to clogged pores. Girls should also remember to remove all make-up each night before bed.

5. Last but not least is starting early, these tips can be even more helpful if you start them before your acne has a chance to get started. All teens will have acne at some point, don't wait to use these only when you have an outbreak.

By taking advantage of these tips you can win the battle with acne. There are also many great products to help you along the way.
