Acne Pimple Home Remedies

Three step plan: How to Prevent Pimples

• 1. Wash your face, every day with a pH balanced mild cleanser and rinse with lukewarm water.
• 2. Exfoliate dead skin cells to unclog the pores and let the impurities come out.
• 3. Use an oil free moisturizer especially formulated for skin that’s prone to breakouts.

But there is more that you can do to help keep your skin clear and preventing pimples. First off, remember, don’t pick at the pimples. If you pick at them, you increase the chances of them becoming infected and you also increase the chances of scarring and actually spread the acne further.

Secondly, you want to pamper your skin, really pamper your skin once a week. Try a botanical healing mask. This mask is invaluable for keeping the skin clean – as it “soaks” all the impurities out of the skin.

Plus, you can use it as an overnight spot treatment.

How to Prevent Pimples - The Home Facial

Clearing out the pores is just as easy by steaming them open. Heating up water to boiling, place one chamomile tea bag and one peppermint tea bag into the pot. Both of these herbs have calming properties, mostly for the mind, but if you are less stressed, the fewer pimples you will have.

Let the tea bags steep for three to four minutes, and pour the water into a large bowl and hold your face over it with a towel draped over your head for five to ten minutes. Your skin will actual tingle as the pores open. Now is a good time to use a mask.

As mentioned above a good mask is very important to really clean the skin. One home facial mask you can make is from a very ripe banana that’s been mashed and mixed with some honey and some lemon juice. Mix this all together and apply it to your face and let it sit for about fifteen minutes and wash it off with warm water.

Other great Acne Pimple Home Remedies includes.... (Drum roll, please)… milk of magnesia. Yes, you read that right. That same stomach remedy that you have used for years, that is sitting in your medicine cabinet, right now, is great for your face.

The milk of magnesia absorbs the oil, but isn’t harsh on the skin. Simply rub a cotton ball soaked in the milk of magnesia on your face, let it dry for fifteen, then wash it off with lukewarm water.

To make things simple consider following a daily skin care routine that combines all three basic essentials for great clear skin – pH wash, gentle exfoliation, and oil free hydration.

Follow this routine religiously for a few weeks and watch how clear and healthy skin will be. And, don’t forget to do a weekly mask for added benefit.....
