The market today is flooded with chemical treatments that can help fight the many causes of acne. But what happens when our faces start to become very sensitive to those chemicals? More and more people are realizing that there are all natural products that can safely help them with their clear skin issues without contaminating their faces with more harsh chemicals.
We will look at 5 household, or relatively easy to get, items that have a healing property built-in. These products are: tomatoes, avocados, garlic, lemon juice, and lavender oil. Lavender oil isn’t necessarily a household item but it is on the list of items that are fairly easy to get at the local pharmacy.
How do these unassuming products help keep our skin acne free? Well tomatoes are acidic and contain vitamins A and C, which both help to heal and rejuvenate the skin.
Avocados help the skin by moisturizing it. This can help to keep skin from drying out and it will look healthier.
Most people cringe when you mention garlic because their first thought is how it will make them smell. How can something so stinky help our skin? Garlic works like an antibiotic helping to kill bacteria that can cause acne.
Lemon juice is an astringent meaning that it can tighten and firm up the skin. Lemon juice is also great at drying up oily skin.
The last ingredient we will look at is Lavender oil. It is usually used on the skin as a disinfectant that helps to fight off bacteria and keep pores clean. Lavender oil also has calming properties to help soothe the skin.
It is amazing how we can use nature to help ourselves stay healthier. Not only do foods help when we eat them but as we have seen some foods can help us when we apply them directly to our skin too.
