Every woman wants her face to always look fresh and radiant. Sometimes the obstacle is the prices of drugstore cosmetics, which do not always work as we would like. In the case of other ladies, there are piles of drugs on their bathroom shelves, and there is no effect as such. That is why it is worth learning natural, home methods of facial skin cleansing, which will allow us to quickly, without risk and spend large sums, bring the skin to the desired condition!
Products based on natural raw materials are often better tolerated by the skin and gentler than cosmetics containing chemical additives.
Oily and acne skin – how to clean the face of blackheads and pimples?
This type of skin is very problematic due to large pores that favor the formation of blackheads and pimples, strong shimmer in the T zone and excessively secreted sebum, i.e. sebum. To cleanse this type of skin, it is not recommended to use cosmetic milk, as it can additionally lubricate the skin (contains many moisturizing ingredients). People with oily and acne-prone skin should use a face wash gel made of oatmeal. Such a mixture will effectively cleanse the skin without irritating it and removing the greasy film from it:
- Pour oatmeal with boiling water, wait until it cools down. When they have the consistency of porridge, apply them on the face and then rinse with mineral water.
- Then, tone your face to dry it out a bit, exfoliate it and speed up the healing of blemishes. To do this, prepare a bay leaf tonic: pour three dried bay leaves into 250 ml of boiling water. When it cools down, pour it into a bottle and put it in the fridge, where you can keep it for up to three days (then you need to prepare a new one, because it will lose its beneficial properties).
- In addition to cleansing and toning, it is necessary to perform – one to two times a week – a coarse scrub. Almond paste will be the best for this, as it will cleanse the skin, remove dead epidermis and refresh it beautifully. In a bowl, mix a cup of almond bran, 125 ml of milk (full fat), 15 ml of almond oil. Apply this scrub on your face, avoiding the eye area. Massage it in circular motions, and after a few minutes, wash your face with mineral water.
- Also effective is a mask made of yeast, which can be used daily: mix ¼ of baker’s yeast with a teaspoon of warm milk, apply on the face and wash off after 10 minutes with warm water.
Combination skin – clean skin without the effect of tightness and dry skin
For this type of skin, it is necessary to distinguish the T-zone, which is usually oily (forehead, nose, chin), while the rest of the face remains dry. That is why facial cleansing should start with removing make-up with a homemade cosmetic milk, and then wiping it with a tonic.
- Cosmetic milk with avocado – in 100 ml of rose water (pre-heated) dissolve 20 g of skimmed milk powder, add a tablespoon of honey, 20 ml of avodaco fruit oil, 20 ml of almond oil and mix. The whole thing should be poured into a bottle (cosmetic products are available in drugstores) and set aside in a cool place.
- Then apply cucumber toner: put a diced cucumber in a blender, blend it thoroughly, squeeze the juice into a cosmetic bottle, add a tablespoon of aloe juice and then mineral water (in a 1:1 ratio). Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. It will help reduce the visibility of enlarged pores and restore your skin’s proper pH level.
