To start off 2014, the first video I decided to film was the D.I.Y Acne Cleanser and Mask. Living in Australia, we tend to celebrate the New Years with the heat and we all know that the hot temperature causes the body to sweat which also produces more oils- resulting into unwanted pimples.
When it comes to treating pimples/acne, not all method will work. Everyone is different and some products/method will work for some but may work for others. So the only way to really find out what works for you is to experiment.
Here are some tips that I found worked for me:
- Instead of rubbing the acne cream onto the affected area, pat the product in instead
- The rubbing motion causes friction which can cause irritation
- Only apply acne cream onto the affected area as it is made to dry out the pimples
- Hence, when applied to an unaffected area, it will cause the area to produce more oils
- Hot showers can cause body acne in some individuals
- If you are using an acne cream/gel and see no effect, either try using it twice a day or use one with a higher percentage of Benzoyl Peroxide
And here is a very affordable and easy D.I.Y that you can try!
Cleanser :
- Handful of oats
- Warm water
Mask: (Measurements for the face mask)
- 1 Tablespoon of Oats
- 2 Tablespoon of Water
- A squirt of Honey
Do you have your own remedy and tips that had worked for you? Let me know in the comment section!
