Skin Care Acne Control

Do you make your own soap?A friend of mine just passed on a few recipes to me that she swears by.
I checked out the list and they look like natural acne fighting ingredients to me.At any rate,as long as you follow standard soap making procedures(anything with lye should age 6 weeks before use)these can’t harm your skin and may clear up any bouts of acne–current or future!
Oatmeal and honey,a natural astringent soap,and a refreshing acne mask recipes follow.
Natural Acne Fighter–Oatmeal and Honey Soap
All measurements,excluding honey and oatmeal are in weight,not bulk.
5.5 oz coconut oil
5-oz.shortening
3 -oz.lard
1-oz.cocoa butter
1-oz.palm oil
1-oz.apricot kernel oil
2.5 oz.lye
6-oz.water
1-tbs.honey
1/2cup blended oatmeal
You can also try this melt and pour soap if you have glycerin on hand,although this starts to get rather expensive.You may find that buying tea tree oil soap from the health food shop much more reasonable…
Natural Antiseptic Soap
(This works because the tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and many cases of acne are spread by overactive bacteria growth.)
2cups glycerin soap base
2tbs.tea tree essential oil
Finally here’s an herbal mask.I know that cucumber and parsley are known tighten and purify agents so if you’re looking to draw toxins out of loose or aging skin this is a 10+!
Cucumber Refresher Mask
1tbs.cucumber
1tbs.parsley
1tbs.yogourt
Throw it all in a blender and whirl it together until fluffy.
Lay down and apply the mixture to clean skin.
Rest for 15 minutes,then gently rinse off by splashing warm water on your face.
That’s all for today!Have a great week!
