Tips on Making and Using Homemade Cleansing Milk for Acne - Cure Your Acne At Home Now!



Although, the reason for the occurrence of
acne is still a subject of further research, the condition of the surface of the skin dramatically plays a major role in developing acne. At some places, the pores in the skin cave in to block the oil from escaping that give rise to inflammation to cause pimples. This discovery has led to the establishment of a billion dollar industry manufacturing different kinds of skin cleansers and lotions to cure acne. These products are meant to break up the white-head pimples to drain out the pus. However, the healing skin turns into black head acne at those spots. Such skin cleansers are also used as a preventive measure to clear any blockage in the pores to discourage the formation of pimples. However, most of such cleansers available in the market contain one or the other chemical to deep-cleanse the pores. No doubt, they do their work effectively for some time to prevent or cure acne, but their extended use damages the skin by drying it up of the essential oils resulting in losing its freshness and shine. For your acne cure at home, homemade cleansing milk for acne can give wonderful results without any of the bad effects on your skin. It is not difficult to make such kind of cleansing milk for acne at home, but you will need to prepare the cleansing milk for your acne cure at home every week because it loses its effectiveness after a few days as it does not contain any chemical or preservative.


You need only a few things easily available at every grocery store to make the cleanser. The first and the foremost ingredient is the plain organic yogurt that you can get from a food or grocery store and it is better because it is processed under a set period of time to maintain live culture. Alternatively, you can make the yogurt at home with the precaution that the organic milk you use should be tepid warm before you put a few drops of curd into it. If it is too hot, the yogurt will be ropy and without any live culture. The tepid warm milk will not turn into yogurt until you put it in some warm place overnight or put it in a container duly covered with a lid under a blanket. Take ½ cup of this yogurt and beat it to make a fine paste. Then add one teaspoon of lemon juice, 3-4 drops of essential oil and one teaspoon of vitamin E oil. This will be excellent homemade cleansing milk for acne for your acne cure cure at home.

You should soak a ball of cotton into this cleanser and then apply it on the face, neck and other affected parts of the skin. Keep it for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Take a clean and soft towel to dry up the skin. The application of this homemade cleansing milk for acne will be perfect for your acne cure at home.

5 Natural Back Acne Treatments That Will Knock Your Socks Off


Its not every day that you come across any natural back acne treatments that will do an amazing job, but I would like to share with you 5 treatments that have been passed on to me over, and I'd like to give them to you now.

The first is actually a natural mask that people generally put on their face, but will also work for your back acne just as great. There are so many different natural masks to choose from and people are coming up with new ones every day, but I've had the most success with the "oatmeal mask". Its easy to make, and leaves your skin feeling soft, clean and smooth. This mask is really good for preventing future breakouts, and helping reduce the red marks that are left behind by acne.

You can make your own oatmeal mask by mixing one third a cup of oatmeal with two third a cup of water (depending on how much of your skin you are going to cover, you might need more), and heat as though you were going to eat it, then let it cool. You want the mix to be something you can easily spread over your skin without too much difficulty. Let the oatmeal mix set for 10 minutes on the skin, then clean off.

The second is green tea. This drink is one of the best for cleansing out the body as it has anti-oxidants in it and will help you clear up faster and stop future pimples from producing. Not to mention that this drink taste good.

Stay clear from green teas that have a lot of caffeine or sugar as this would be counterproductive. If you would like to add some taste to the drink, you can add cinnamon, honey, and a number of other natural flavor items to spice up this drink a bit. Drink a glass of green tea every morning and evening, more if you'd like for faster results.

Witch Hazel is the third treatment, and is a good natural substitute for many over the counter products that doesn't harm you skin with any of the harmful chemicals that other products have in them. Its ability to clear the skin of any dead skin and excess natural oils make this a vital weapon in your arsenal.

When your taking a shower, you can use your hand or a soft scrubber, to spread the witch hazel over the skin that has acne. Let this sit for a few minutes so it can do its work and really clear away the skin, then rinse off.

The fourth is the use of a moisturizer. When I first was trying to get rid of my back acne, I didn't take into account how much I was stripping away my skin in my effort to be clear. Even if you are not using harmful chemicals on your skin, you probably aren't getting enough vitamins inside your body to help develop healthy skin cells. And without doing this, how could you hope to have a clear back?

Find a simple oil free moisturizer that has vitamin E in it. If your lacking the funds, try Vaseline. It doesn't have all the good extra stuff in it, but it will help your skin stay healthy and firm until you can find something better. Put the Vaseline on and leave for 10 minutes, then rinse off.

The fifth, and most important step, is exercise. There is a lot of confusion when it comes to exercise and acne, and I'd like to put that to rest here so you can get on with it and finally clear that back of acne.

When you sweat, you clean out your system of a lot of the free radicals and toxins that are just floating around in your blood stream causing you harm (and causing your breakouts). When you sweat, your body carries those toxins through your pores and out of your body, cleaning your pores in the process.

I like to go running about four times a week and really get a good sweat in. That might not appeal to you, and I don't blame you, but if that's the case, then I recommend you find something that you do like to do. Take up biking or a sport with friends that you can work hard, sweat and enjoy.
