Beauty Tricks and Tips  – Natural Foods

Nowadays most of us prefer to use the natural approach in curing acne (or other skin disorders) on our face. People are dismissing the fact that synthetic chemical and conventional medicines are the only solution in treating diseases and disorders. Lotion, cream, and topical ointment made from natural ingredients are gaining in popularity as they don’t contain the harmful chemicals that the conventional products do. And in most case, they work minus the side effect.

Beauty Tips From Your Kitchen

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to cure something as simple as acne. Simple ingredients can be found in your kitchen to be use as a natural remedy in curing acne.

Citrus Rinse

You can simply squeeze the juice from citrus fruits such as oranges or lemons then pat it on the acne with a cotton pad. These citrus fruits contain ascorbic acid which is used to kill germs on your skin and lighten your skin as well with its mild bleaching properties. If you might notice, most skin care products for treating acne or bleaching purposes contain ascorbic acid as one of the main ingredients. But be careful, as the juice might be too irritating for your skin. To be safe, you can simply dilute it with a little bit of water beforehand.

Green Tea Rinse

Green tea is also well known for treating acne and other skin disorders. Green tea is a healthy drink as it’s packed with antioxidants (mainly polyphenols) to combat free radicals. It also has anti–bacterial properties. These healthful benefits are perfect for treating acne. Either dab some green tea directly on your skin or better yet, drink it regularly. The green tea drink will flush out all the toxins in the body, leaving the skin clearer and the body healthier.

Egg White Face Mask

If you want to pamper yourself a little bit while treating your acne, make a simple face mask using an egg white. Beat the egg white until frothy and apply it on your face, leaving it until dry. The protein contained in the egg white is beneficial for your skin. The main benefit is for cleaning because it sticks to and then pulls out the dirt (such as blackheads). It removes the germs while nourishing your skin. This face mask is wonderful as it’s not abrasive and you can use it twice a day if your acne is quite severe.

Cucumber Face Mask

Another good face mask is a cucumber mask. Simply apply the mashed cucumber and leave it until dry before rinsing it off. Cucumber is a healthy food as it contains anti bacterial properties and gives your face a cool feeling.

Honey Face Mask

If you want to add anti-bacterial properties with a luxurious feeling, simply add a little of honey to your face mask. Yes, honey is sticky and messy. But its healthy benefits outweigh the mess made. Honey contains antioxidants and is a humectant, it kills bacteria and germs and moisturizes your face at the same time.
