I agree with Lonicera. Also, if you use a slice or a half of a lemon, with five drops of honey on it, it also acts as a moisturiser. Washing afterwards with cold water will take care of any residual organic matter :)
You can always check with your dermatologist for their recommendations, and to see if you need prescription strength cleansers or products.
But lemon is a wonderful cleansing agent, as is salt. When washing your face, avoid using harsh soaps. Also, it's good to use warm water before and during your wash routine; this keeps your skin moist, opens your pores, and allows the most dirt removal. Follow up with any kind of warm water/wash usage with splashes of cold water to shrink down your pores. Weekly exfoliation for face and body will help to clear up acne, but make sure to follow up with a gentle moisturizer to replenish skin. You can go out and purchase these, or create your own with sugar and olive oil and/or green tea. Dry brushing your skin will also help to improve circulation and overall skin health; best done at least once a day with a soft bristled body brush.
Certain foods like eggs, yogurt, strawberries, cucumbers, etc. have great beneficial properties for maintaining skin health too. Check out tutorials on youtube from cosmetic specialists like Michelle Pham, and make sure to always test a small patch of skin before applying all over! This will make sure you avoid any topical allergic reactions.
Don't forget that maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated can also go a long way towards improving and maintaining good skin health as well :)
I use distilled Witch-hazel as a toner, then use a bee' wax based moisturizer with different essentially oils... its brilliant! I also recommend rose-water distilled or not- you CAN just soak some rose petals in water for a day or two, I also add some rose oil to it as well. For scaring I highly recommend rose-hip oil, it promotes new skin cells or something and is fantastic, just a couple of drops after a nice warm shower! also just common sense really make sure you wash your face everyday, drink HEAPS of water and avoid making contact with your face also, and pull back any hair too! good luck!
I use a wonderful face wash made by AlbaBotanics and it works wonders! The reason a soap of some sort is need is to strip the oils that aren't good for you from the face, but you don't want to have a completely dry face which is where honey comes in GREAT.
Tea-tree oil is something everyone should have in their houses..it's great for infections,discoloration of the skin and pimples.It reduces redness,heals faster and fades scars :).
I used hot water, a loofah, and a mixture of salt and lemon. I held m face under hot water to open up my pores, the washed lightly with lemon, then rinsed and scrubbed with sea salt and hot water. Also it helps if you find a bathroom when you get sweaty and to wash your face with clean hot water. it helps keep your pores from getting clogged by sweat and dirt.
Dandelion face/skin wash(Note: If you are prone to seasonal allergies or plant allergies, you may want to use Burdock instead) is very good for cleansing the skin, which you should follow up with some Witch Hazel to help keep the bacteria that cause pimples away!
-Make a strong infusion(Meaning 20-30min steeping) of Dandelion leaves.(Switch with Burdock leaves if allergies are a concern!)
-Wash your face with the infusion for five minutes every morning. It is probably
-Follow with Witch Hazel only if you feel needed, which is best when fresh leaves are made into a poultice for your affected skin daily, however it is very easy to buy Witch Hazel in the pharmacy which works just as well. (It comes in bottles, and should be applied in very thin layers.)
- Keep washing with the Dandelion until the acne goes away, then simply continue to apply Witch Hazel once daily.
(Dandelion is very easy to get, make sure that when you harvest the leaves that you wash them gently.)
I am also a teen. I daily practice yoga. Everyday i practice excercises and yoga. I don't have any pimple. Probably sweat can remove skin dirt. I also drink one glass of water before yoga. ~Namaste~
