Acne is a problem that haunts many people whotry to get rid of them by any means necessary. Some succeed, others - not so much, unfortunately. And it doesn’t work because acne treatment at home must be carried out according to a certain scheme: proper skin cleansing and treatment of rashes. By the way, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive cosmetic products - folk recipes are often much more effective. And at the same time, in most cases, they are much safer, since they contain only natural ingredients. The only danger that can lie in wait for you - is an allergic reaction to one or another component. Therefore, if you are not sure, test your body - apply a little of the finished product to the elbow or wrist, leave for 30 minutes. If you feel discomfort - burning or itching, or if rashes or irritation appear on the skin - You have an allergic reaction and should avoid the product you have chosen. No problem, try another one.

Cleansing the face skin

First, remember how to clean properlyfacial skin. After all, facial skin is half the success. The other half is consistency. Only in this case you will forget for a long time what acne is.

• Morning and evening skin cleansing

Unfortunately, most often skin care comes down torinsing with water and toner to remove makeup. But this is a fundamentally wrong approach. You need to wash your face at least twice a day - in the morning to remove the sebum released overnight, and in the evening - this is necessary to remove all the dirt that has accumulated on your skin during the day. In the morning, you can wash your face without soap to avoid overdrying your skin. But in the evening, you simply cannot do without a cleansing gel or soap - your facial skin must be very thoroughly cleansed. Another secret is the temperature of the water for washing. Hot water is needed to cleanse your skin. But you need to finish washing with cold water - it will narrow your pores: this is good from an aesthetic point of view, and dirt will clog the narrowed pores much less.

• Scrubs

Scrubs are needed approximately two to three times a week.- they will cleanse the skin more thoroughly and not only from dirt, but also from dead skin particles. Before each use of the scrub, the skin of the face must be very carefully steamed. First, prepare a chamomile bath: put five heaped tablespoons of dry chamomile flowers in a small enamel saucepan, pour in half a liter of water, bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for 15 minutes. Cool the broth to an acceptable temperature - the steam should not burn the skin under any circumstances. After this, pour the broth into a deep bowl, lean over the steam and cover your head with a terry towel. The skin needs to be steamed for about 15 minutes. Remember! Steam baths are strictly contraindicated in case of pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. In this case, you will have to use a compress - soak a gauze or terry cloth napkin in chamomile decoction and apply it to your face. The napkins cool down very quickly, so change them constantly.

Healing Masks

The good thing about medicinal masks is that they not onlycleanse the skin, but also nourish it with vitamins. However, you shouldn't get too carried away with masks - do them for a maximum of three weeks. Otherwise, the skin's natural balance may be disrupted.

• Garlic mask

This mask fights acne very effectively.But the mask is quite aggressive, so strictly follow the proportions and do not do the mask more than once a week. Peel three large cloves of garlic and grind them thoroughly so that you get a gruel. Lubricate the problem areas of the skin with any vegetable oil (pre-boiled) and apply the garlic gruel in a thin layer. Exactly three minutes later, wash off the mask with soap and water, apply your usual moisturizer. If the skin turns red after the mask, or you experience severe discomfort, you will have to give up this mask. Otherwise, you will have to see a doctor for skin burns.

• Soda mask

A soda mask will be no less effective.To prepare it, you will need regular baking soda (1 teaspoon), bran (1 teaspoon) and some water. Mix all the ingredients so that you get a paste-like mass. Apply the mask to pre-steamed facial skin and leave for about 15 minutes. If you feel a strong burning sensation, wash off the mask immediately. In order to neutralize the effect of the mask on the skin, you need to finish washing by rinsing with a special solution - one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar per half a glass of water.

• Peanut mask

Another great acne remedy -peanut butter and lemon juice. Take one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and peanut butter, mix thoroughly and apply to cleansed skin, leave for 10 minutes. Then wash off the mask and lubricate the skin with plenty of warm water. This mask should be done every evening for two weeks. After that, the treatment can be continued if necessary, but only after a five-day break.

• Almond mask

If there are a lot of acne breakouts, and alsohave a tendency to inflammation, you can try an almond mask. To prepare it, you will need two tablespoons of milk, 4 almonds, a tablespoon of orange juice and one capsule of vitamin A. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, spread evenly over the skin of the face and leave for 20 minutes, then rinse with cool water. This mask should be done no more than three times a day.

• Herbal Mask

This mask removes very effectivelyinflammation and reduces the number of rashes. To prepare it, you need very little - two tablespoons of pharmacy chamomile and a third of a glass of boiling water. Pour water over the chamomile and let it brew for two hours. Apply the soaked herb to well-steamed skin of the face and leave for about half an hour. Then wash off the chamomile and apply a little moisturizer. Such a mask can be done as often as necessary - it is completely safe for the skin and does not irritate it.

• Oatmeal mask

First, use a blender to grind the threetablespoons of oatmeal, then add some warm water - you should get a creamy consistency. Apply it in a thick layer on your face and leave for 30 minutes - during this time the mask should dry, and then wash off with water. The oatmeal mask should be done twice a week.

• Honey and potato mask

Wash and peel a medium-sized tuberpotatoes and grate them, add a tablespoon of any natural honey, mix well. Apply the resulting mask in a thick layer to problem areas of the skin. Leave the mask for 20 minutes, then wash off with hot water. The mask does not irritate the skin, but you should not do it more than twice a week. If all these measures have not helped you within a month, you should not try to treat acne on your own any longer. Go to a dermatologist - in some cases, acne is caused by various diseases that need to be treated. And in the same case, if the disease is not treated, you are unlikely to get rid of acne.
