Home Remedies To Cure and Prevent Acne!!!

Here are some effective home remedies that blast those hideous zits and pimples into thin air!
These do it yourself recipes contain ingredients that are found right in your very own kitchen! Isn't that awesomely convenient??  Not everyone can afford those expensive treatments while on a tight budget so your wonderful friend Lisa is gonna help ya!! :)

1. FACIAL CLEANSER

This may sound weird to quite a number of persons, but trust me it works I have tried it on several occasions.
All you need for this is toothpaste and water!! Squirt some toothpaste  into your palms just a little will do, then add some water to it and create a foamy mixture. Toothpaste helps dry out pimples and absorbs oil. Wash your face as you usually would with a cleanser.Get a CLEAN  hand towel  or paper towel and pat dry. Just a little note please refrain from using toothpaste that are used for teeth  whitening these usually contain the ingredient hydrogen peroxide that may irritate or burn the skin.




    2.  ACNE MASK


All you need for this is some non whitening toothpaste and some baking soda. Mix both in a small bowl and stir for 30 seconds. Apply mixture to each pimple. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse.Pimples are going to look redder after this because of the menthol but that would wear off after a while.


  3.  ACNE SCRUB


What you need is some SEA salt  and some honey. Please do not use the refined ones you see at the grocery store, make sure the label says pure sea salt. Sea salt works wonders for the skin , it heals blemishes, kills bacteria and removes toxins from the skin.Mix both ingredients in a small bowl and apply to face, gently massage face for a few minutes as you would a regular facial scrub and rinse. If you have open wounds on your face this will sting, but don't think your skin is going to burn off lol! Salt on any open wound is going to sting! If it becomes unbearable simply rinse it off. You can always use the steam treatment I'm about to mention.


  4. FACIAL STEAMS


You have several to chose from!!! yay!!
Sea salt and water.
Lemon juice and water.
Baking Soda and water.


With these steams it's as simple as pouring the ingredients in some boiling water, turn of the stove, then place your face over the pot, not on the pot! and allow the steam to penetrate and clear your pores. If your face becomes too hot, simply move away from the steam for a few minutes and then resume when you are ready.


Now there are a couple on the spot treatments you can use to help heal your pimples. All you do is apply some on each pimple, leave on  for a few minutes and RINSE! haha so easy its crazy!
 Apple Cider Vinegar
 Lemon Juice
 Sea salt and water mixture
 NON WHITENING  Listerine


NB Remember to use a moisturizer after any of these methods, seeing that these ingredients can be very drying to the skin. 




Tips for preventing acne breakouts!!! whoo hoo my favorite part!

1. Dont touch your face unless you have washed your hands! hands contain acne causing bacteria and can cause several other illnesses when place in the mouth.
2. Do not sleep with makeup on.That's a death sentence in my book.Seriously I have done that twice in my life and each time I woke up with about three pimples.How lovely ;)
3. Change pillow cases regularly. Come on we all know when we are travelling whether it the maxi or the taxi or the train or whatever your hair touches the seat and we bring that home to our pillows each night.Gross right? I know.
4. Clean makeup brushes at least once a week. Germs enjoy new breeding grounds to get their groove on!
5. After a cleanser, ensure that you use a toner or astringent to remove any excess  makeup or dirt that the cleanser didn't take off. Try this and you'll see what I'm talking about.
6. Drink tons of water and maintain a healthy lifestyle we must be clean on the inside  to ensure that our outside glows with beauty!
