Homemade Acne Cream
Make Your Own Acne Cream
Acne can be outrageously stressful and it affects the confidence to a great extent in teenagers. At the same time, its treatment is becoming increasingly expensive, and some of them, increasingly inefficient in today’s commercial world. Thus arrives the need for an acne cream that can be made in your home from ingredients that be found in your own store room.
To go about making an effective acne cream, the cause for acne must first be analyzed. You can do this by turning to the internet which has lot information on what causes acne.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of making a home-made acne cream, we need to throw some light on certain pointers. For any treatment of acne to be successful, there has to be three conditions that must be followed. One, you must stick an acne-alert-diet. Two, you must use only mild soaps and face creams. Three, you must drink as much water as possible. Only if these three are followed, an acne cream will be able to give long lasting effects.
Now let us arrive at the how-to-do of the best acne cream that you can probably “mix” at home. A bit of rosewater, a bit of lemon juice, a bit of powdered garlic mixed together in some liquefied petroleum jelly is a good idea. Lemon with its Vitamin C content cleanses the skin and alters its oily nature. Frequent washing is required here, and if followed persistently, all acne should be history in a few weeks.
Mint is also a good acne-fighter. Mint has a revitalizing action on your skin and it clears the skin of the oily dust and opens up the pores. For this use, mint leaves that are commonly available with most grocers can be used.
You might laugh at this, but an almost instant cure for acne is your own toothpaste! It helps get rid of the pimples that make you face to appear swollen and leaves your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
A mixture of cucumber juice, carrots juice and lemon juice will also give great results as cucumber has a cooling effect on the skin and can also be used to treat dark circles. Garlic is also an excellent cure, as long as you are okay with its smell hanging around you.
For a comprehensive treatment, a mixture of egg yolk, honey, baking soda in a solution of water can be used. This can be made as a mask and can be applied and left overnight for best results. It reduces the size of pores, opens them up and vigorously fights the zits that battle to appear.
Acne has a lot of market value, and thus there are many complex and expensive treatments available, which might or might not be effective. But sometimes, for some things, the simplest treatment is the best. And this might just be your home-made acne cream. It is affordable, yet affirmative on its action on acne. Before you probably even realize it, all your acne will be history and you will have a cleaner skin than ever before.
