Rubbing harder won't make things better, it will make things worse. Also consider the fabric softener you are using on your washcloth & towels, it could be adding to the problem. If you use baking soda & vinegar in your rinse water, your washcloths and towels won't have added chemicals to them, making them much better for your sensitive skin. Be aware of the ingredients in your shampoo/conditioner and other skin products, quite a few of them contribute to skin breakouts. Sugar & milk (sometimes buttermilk) is a great scrub. Following it up with a honey mask helps clear things up.

It works perfectly well. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Facial Scrubs Post By Joelle (Guest Post) (05/04/2008) First of all, a little background is required. I have had consistently annoying acne since I was 12. One big memory was in health in jr. high when all the "friends" I thought I had made fun of me when we studied how to take care of our bodies. Every time the teacher mentioned "severe acne" I got several looks. I've tried everything in normal retail stores, Physicians Choice products, retinol, acutane, differin, wow endless products. All have had little lasting effects. The only things that have worked for long term results are 1. Airbonne products: the Acne line and the Intelligence line. They were convincing enough for me to begin selling the products. 2. What worked pretty well before starting Arbonne was a few products I bought from a natural foods store. The wash was Desert Essence. Thoroughly Clean Face Wash (with teatree oil and awapuhi). Follow that with Queen Helene's Oatmeal Honey scrub and Rachel Perry's toner for oily skin. Rachel Perry has a huge line of products that I'm sure are all fabulous. At any rate, I wanted something different tonight, so I made a scrub of a couple Tablespoons brown sugar, some honey, some vanilla, and some evoo. Added a little water for perfect consistency. Waited a few minutes and rubbed in then washed off. Then I whisked an egg white until it was pretty fluffy. Applied that and let it dry. Wow does it tighten! Lastly, I steamed my face with some added tea tree oil and it was the perfect combination. My skin is slightly red, but I know that's due to a good deep cleaning. Tomorrow I'll be beautiful! Thanks everyone for your tips, combined they made a great home spa night for me. =) my_baby_girl22 AT hotmail.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Facial Scrubs Post By moumita (Guest Post) (04/28/2008) Tthe best face pack as well as toner is cucumber juice. Use it daily on your face. It brighten your complexion too.

Loads of green vegetables help to keep our internal systems in check and loads of fresh juice keep those blackheads away. Over the years I have tried and highly recommend the following for acne: 1. Drink loads of water; if you can't drink water just as water them add a slice of lemon, orange, peach, or even apple to flavour the water. Water helps to flush out the toxins, good for skin and very good in aiding weight loss. 2. For evening- simple routine, pierce a 1000mg Vit E capsule and apply to the affected areas. leave overnight. Wash off in the morning and apply a layer of honey and leave for 15 minutes. Wash off and apply a milk based face cream or mosituriser. This is good to break the cycle of new breakouts, a guranteed 2 week window to experience a very amazing transformation. 3. There are certain spices that heat up the body. Cinnamon, cloves, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, onions, masala, black pepper are in this category. Go easy on spices to curb new breakouts and bouts of acne. 4. Add equal amounts of crushed celery and cucumber to grated apple and mix in some lemon zest. This acts as a cleanser. Leave for 10 minutes and wash off. Then add crushed green grapes, grated orange rind, honey and vitamin E or Apricot oil and mix. Smear over the infected areas and other potential areas and leave for 20 minutes. Wash off and apply a very thin layer of face cream. This should be done 3 times a week only. You must supplement this routine with routine from number 2. 4. Eat loads of fruits rich in antioxidants. 5. For removing acne scars use the juice of I lemon with juice of equal amount of ginger and youghurt. Apply to scars for 35-40 minutes only daily for 2 weeks and then 4 times a week thereafter. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Facial Scrubs Post By Lynn. (Guest Post) (04/02/2008) I am a student at a skin care college and am looking for natural, inexpensive masks, cleansers, scrubs and toners. Some of these are really great, however, I wouldn't suggest using copious amounts of olive oil on your face. It's great for your body but Olive Oil is to heavy for your facial pores and can cause them to clog. It could also leave your skin feeling greasy. Acutane works because it's a chemical. It is considered a LAST resort for people with the WORST kind of acne. The acne you talk about on here is all surface blemishes. Acutane is meant for people who develop CYSTS, not just pimples. Also, be careful with oatmeal. The oatmeal you find in skin care products is NOT the same as what you buy on the shelves at the super market. You can't commerically purchase medicinal grade oatmeal. Sorry guys =) Ground up almonds and plain yogurt are really good for people with dry skin. It's a light scrub and hydrates really well. Just crush up a few almonds, mix and gently rub onto face. Rinse with warm water. Tone and splash with cold water. Cucumber and plain yogurt is really good for normal to oily skin. Puree cucumber and mix until slightly green. Rub over face and rinse with warm water and tone/cold water rinse. Hope that's even a little helpful? ALSO. Large blackheads and white heads SHOULD be removed from your skin. DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. You could seriously damage your skin, but leaving them in could stretch your pores. Try looking into local spas and going in for just a steam and extraction.

Don't worry if it stings, it HAS got vinegar so it's acid but not harmful AT ALL, doesn't smell bad either. It should feel tight on your face. Leave for however long you're comfortable with (even 5 mins is enough time) Hope that helps! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Facial Scrubs Post By Lorna.

Just like everyone has different types of skin (oily, dry, etc), they may get different reaction. Most likely, the oatmeal or honey had some other ingredients in them, which basically meant you were rubbing fat on your face - which would certainly cause you to break out. It's very important to use as natural ingredients as possible. Plain oatmeal and old fashioned honey are great on the skin. But if it's full of sugar and oils, it's only for eating :P And just want to say what a great site this is. I'm tired of wasting money on chemically-saturated products. =) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Facial Scrubs Post By (Guest Post) (01/17/2008) Does anyone know why a recipe that I used the other night would have made my face look like I broke out with a HUGE case of acne?!

One recipe I've used a lot with fantastic results is the yeast & lemon juice facial. You just mix a bit of active dry yeast and some fresh lemon juice, enough to make a paste. Spread the paste on your face and allow it to dry, then rinse with a warm washcloth. This recipe exfoliates, clears pores, and dries acne without drying out your skin. If you have pimples that are particularly stubborn, you can apply a bit of the yeast and lemon juice mixture to the problem area and leave it on overnight. It's worked great for me and my girlfriends!

I had really bad skin as a teenager and these tips changed my skin. 1) Keep your hair off your face when you go to bed 2) Once or Twice a week beat an EGG WHITE into a foam and put on your face right away and let it dry and then wipe with a warm washcloth. It will pull out all of the impurities and you may have a few really little pimples the next day but that means they're going away. If you use the whole egg, the yellow part and all, it will be more of a moisturizing effect. The white pulls out the clogs gently. 3) If you get a breakout or you feel that you always have a few bumps, lightly rub Tea Tree Oil on the areas with a Q-tip or cotton. Be careful though. You just need enough to coat it. Your skin shouldn't look wet or it will make your eyes sting from the smell. 4) Steaming your face with Tea Tree Oil is also amazing. I like doing it after I use the egg white mask. I'm not an expert but I've tried tons and these work great. The miracle over the counter product is Clearasil Vanishing Treatment. It works better than all the expensive stuff. I also wouldn't use Olive Oil on my skin if I had or tend to get breakouts because for people who have chronic acne it would make it worse.

TRY IT ON THE INSIDE OR YOUR FOREARM FIRST! These may work great, but the additional ingredients may not react well to the original cleanser. You should do this with any new product: it ensures that you aren't allergic to any of the ingredients. If you do get a rash, it's less embarrassing for it to be on your wrist than your arm!

Another helpful 'mask': Grate a chunk of cucumber and leave the gratings in the fridge for a while. Later put the gratings/juice on your face and lay down for 10 minutes.

Rhassoul is the best, but bentonite is easily obtained. Add finely ground oatmeal, rosemary herb, and sea kelp. Then a couple of drops of rosemary essential oil. Add enough witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to make a paste, and scrub over face. Allow to set for a few minutes or until it feels dry, then apply a warm facial cloth to face then wipe off. Three times a week maximum use. Follow with a moisturizer.

Although my skin isn't perfect yet, let me just tell you about the 2 products that have made about a 90% improvement, and huge difference in my skin. The first product I used, and am still using, is St. Ives Apricot Face Wash (Blemish & Blackhead Control), which I use everyday. (It clears up blemishes and acne so fast you won't believe it). The second product is a scrub which I currently use about 3-4 times a week; it is called Clearasil Daily Acne Control Blackhead Clearing Scrub. (It will help exfoliate your skin, and therefore cure acne as well as prevent new acne blemishes from coming back) Also, if your not completely satisfied with those, I recommend using Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque about once a week. But remember, after you use any of these products, make sure you apply a good moisturizer, so that your skin doesn't become dry. Please consider using some of these products, because trust me, you will see a difference in your skin, and your acne will be barely there in no time. Good luck! :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: HELP!

Gently rub sugar mixed with water onto face before going to bed remember to wash it off. you will get best results if you put on an aloe vera OR exfoliate cream on every morning. keep eating vegetables and a lot of iron and exercise regularly. take a hot bath to relieve stress because that can be one reason why your face is all dry or lumpy and not up to complete standards. hope this works. i've started and i'm sure it will help. ps try going for walks with friends socializing is a good way to reliave stress which can cause break outs or dry unmanageable skin. bye!

After 15 minutes, wash it off with warm water. The salt and oil in the mayo removes dirt and softens skin. But it doesn't overdry or make your face oily. Totally awesome!

It will reduce the redness and swelling. If that doesn't help as much as you would like it to, try leaving a thin layer of it on the skin (layered under oil free make-up, of course) all day.

For something faster, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar in hand and mix in some cetaphil. Massage gently in circular motion to create creamy foam on face, then rinse. These are my favorite recipes and I know they will work for you.

Just wet fingertips, dip them into a container of baking soda, then gently scrub face. I never use soap on my face anymore [gave me bad case of rosacea, even with real mild soap]. The baking soda is all I ever use now & my complexion is better than has ever been in my life.
