at home skin remedies...

Hey guys,
heres just some face masks, exfoliants that my mom tells me to do, and that ive heard of…thoguht i’d share it with you. ’

  1. Advil mask
  • get advil (without the coating)/ or powder advil – note: the tablets will make little beads..that act as a good exfloiant.
  • drop less that 1 teaspoon of water…
  • add one drop of honey
    and make a paste out of it..
    leave on until it drys, and wash with luke warm water, and PAT your towel to dry -
    follow by moisturizing.
  1. Neem leaves mask
  • neem leaves
  • almonds
  • (my mom made a jar with almonds and neem leaves)
  • add almonds and neem leaves into a blender, and blend them
  • add a little milk until it makes a paste → (it should look liek chutney)
  • apply to face for like 20 mins…until its dry
  • wash off
  1. sea salt and water (with this one i do it throughout the summer…and leave a bucket actually with sea salt and water…lol…and every so often…i just splash my face a few times with it, and leave it dry…once it dries…you’ll see the sea salt on your face…and you GENTLY (esp if you have sensitive skin like me) massage your skin…and wash it off with water.
  • so just add sea salt (however much you would like) and water (i usally do half a cup of sea salt) and fill the rest up with water…make sure you stir

ill add more

I have also used a paste of antibiotic crushed to take care of this really bad rash I got after facial waxing, recommended by Adrasteia. It really helped soothe my face and bring the redness down.

This is something new I heard... and now we are hearing about Advil. Wow, that's great.

Here's something else I read:

You know for those red acne pimples that some people get that are inflammed, a few dabs of visine eye drops is said to help with the redness. Haven't tried it but read it.

The advil/asprin "treatment" shudn't be used.. it can cause scarring and leave u're skin red and aggravated.

It was a huge rage once where people used asprin to combat active acne and blved it dried it out..

Re: at home skin remedies...

i mix glycerine+rose water+lemon juice for a nighttime face moisturizer. I break out with most store bought stuff but never with this.

Re: at home skin remedies...

^i do that too, really makes face nd hands smooth!

Re: at home skin remedies...

aspirin (not advil) is basically salicylic acid and some people find it effective, i do not.

what is the neem supposed to do?

Re: at home skin remedies...

neem works as an antiseptic i guess killing the bacterias perhaps
