Acne Skin Care Recipes

By now you already know that the market is full of promising acne treatment formulas for people who have acne prone skin.

But did you know of the existence of acne skin care recipes to create your own skin care solutions. The ingredients used in these formulas can be found in and around your house.

One of the basic acne skin care recipes to start with is a mild facial wash. This will help remove the dirt inside your clogged pores and the surplus of oil on the skin. Apple cedar vinegar or naturally fermented vinegar is an excellent ingredient to fight the excess oils. But watch out. Always use vinegar in a diluted form because it is very acidic. To get the right mixture to cleanse your face you will have to mix 9 parts of water with 1 part of vinegar. To get rid of the deep seated dirt in your skin, use a cotton ball and dip it into the mixture.  

An egg-white mask is also often made at home and used as acne skin care recipe. Take a couple of egg-whites, beat them stiffly and you have your mask. Smear it on your face, let the mask sit for a few minutes and when it is dried out, and wash it off with warm water. Use a clean towel and pat dry your face. Sometimes dry oatmeal is added to the mixture because it can help remove the excess oils from your skin. You can safely use this mask once a week. Don't overdo because you will risk your skin to dry out.

You can be creative and add also substances that kill bacteria. An example is baking soda. Mix it with a bit of distilled water and then use it as a mild exfoliating agent for your acne prone skin.
