What makes a good acne cleanser?
Untitled Document
Looking for acne cleanser most people start at a local chemist.
A good cleanser will remove make-up, oil build up and dirt from
the skin, so it is ready for other acne fighting treatments. Using
just the cleaner is usually is not enough to clean your skin completely.
You will see myriads of cleansing bars, deep cleansing lotions,
scrubs, toners, masks, black head removal strips, and more. Each
person who buys one or more of these products buys them with hope,
thinking perhaps they will help give them skin like that of the
models on the cover of the packages. Sometimes these products work,
and sometimes they don't. If they don't work for you, it gets very
expensive going through the various acne cleansers in search of
the one that will bring you the clear skin you've been dreaming
of.
You don’t have to go for top dollar acne products
One alternative is to go to Costco. They often sell Neutrogena
and other acne products at a big discount. You have to buy several
bottles or at least one great big bottle, but if you've already
tried the acne cleanser and you know it works for you, and want
to keep using it, it makes sense to buy it in larger quantities
at a store like Costco and save some money.
Some people think paying big bucks for a product that's promoted
specifically as an acne cleanser is a waste of time. Do you ever
wonder what people did before all these acne products were produced
and sold? Some just used regular soap and hoped for the best. Some
used various herbal applications and had good results.
What is acne?
Acne is a disease that usually results from the action of
hormones and other substances on the skin's oil glands and
hair follicles. This leads to plugged pores and outbreaks
of pimples and zits. However, common opinion that acne is
a result of pure hygiene is false. Acne usually occurs on
the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. You should always
treat acne because severe acne can lead to permanent scarring. |
ACNE TREATMENTS
There is no reason to be scared, it doesn't hurt, and it basically
exfoliates all that pore-blocking skin off in order to reveal what's
beneath. Although it works rather different from light treatment
for acne, it is still quite effective. Then of course... (read more) |
For natural acne treatment try herbal acne remedies
It is better to try safe alternative acne medicine before you turn
to antibiotics.
So can you prepare a good homemade acne cleanser? Try oatmeal and
cornmeal mixed with plain yogurt. This makes a gentle cleanser that
has a bit of exfoliating action. For this gentle acne cleanser,
use 1/2 cup of either oatmeal or cornmeal and mix it with enough
plain yogurt to turn it into a paste. Then apply to the face (avoiding
the eye area) and wash off with water. Oatmeal tends to absorb things
(such as oil and dirt) and it also helps soften the skin. It is
quite good acne medication.
A facial mask to use after your acne cleanser is a combination
of apples and honey. Grate one medium-size apple and mix it with
about five tablespoons of honey. Apply it to your face (avoiding
the eyes) and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then wash it off
with cool water. This homemade mask is suitable for oily skin types.
