Children, teens, men, women all face the problem of acne everywhere. Skin diseases can have various names - acne, boils, blackheads, acne, pimples. However, they all make themselves felt by redness on the skin, painful rashes and have a similar nature of occurrence.
In our skin there are pores, sebaceous and sweat glands, hair follicles from which hair grows. The sebaceous and sweat glands produce oil and sweat, which is mixed with dead skin flakes. This "plug" clogs the sebaceous ducts and hair follicles, resulting in acne. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria.
It is difficult to deal with this problem, especially in adolescence, when the human hormonal system is adjusted. At this time, in huge doses, it is precisely the hormone that controls the work of the sebaceous glands that is produced. In them, “sebum” accumulates in excess, which is simply not able to remove the sebaceous ducts. If the process is aggravated, then black dots are formed due to an increase in the sebaceous glands.
In a short form, the nature of the occurrence of acne is clear.
What to do with them, how to get rid of acne forever?
Finally, teenage acne will disappear only with age, but nevertheless, we recommend making acne masks. Below you will find recipes for those masks that really help, maybe not for everyone, but for most. To say that this or that mask helps in 100% of cases is simply stupid, because the causes of acne can be not only teenage, but also, for example, associated with intestinal disease. Someone was helped by a clay mask, someone was helped by aloe masks, and someone drank a “triple” decoction of birch, nettle and sage, cleansed his intestines and forgot about acne forever. Therefore, you do not need to immediately talk about the inefficiency of this or that method, it just does not suit you personally.
So masks:
1. With garlic.
Garlic, which contains sulfur, phytoncides and many useful trace elements and vitamins, such as potassium and calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese, iodine and copper, vitamins C and B, has excellent bactericidal properties. Folk healers and even doctors during the war years, with an acute shortage of medicines, used garlic to treat festering wounds and ulcers.
To make a face mask, take a head of garlic, chop the cloves well. The resulting slurry should be applied to problem areas for half an hour every day twice - in the morning and in the evening. Less effective, but also effective, is rubbing acne with freshly squeezed garlic juice.
2. With carrots.
A 20-minute mask of freshly grated carrots will help relieve inflammation on the skin (a ripening pimple).
In addition, for a successful fight against acne, it is useful not only to make carrot masks, but to eat raw carrots (5 pieces per day), thus replenishing carotene, which is converted into vitamin A, in the body. But remember that without animal fats, carotene is poorly absorbed and transformed into vitamin A. Add, for example, sour cream to your diet, and then the amount of carrots consumed can be reduced.
3. With egg white.
Take 1 chicken egg, put on the yolk and protein. All you need is the protein, it needs to be beaten well until a thick foam. Apply this mass on a cleansed face for 15-20 minutes, rinse with water.
4. With potatoes.
Boil one potato in fresh milk until super cooked. Cool the resulting "porridge", apply it to clean skin for 15 minutes. Wash off with water.
5. With oatmeal.
Add a little oatmeal to warm water, wait until it swells. For 15-20 min. apply the mass on the face, rinse with water.
6. Soda
Perhaps the simplest mask is soda. You only need baking soda, which must be diluted with water and applied to the face for 20 minutes, after which it is washed off with water. You should not abuse such a mask, do it no more than 2-3 times a week.
7. With bee pollen.
The mask is prepared from the following components: bee pollen + spirulina + royal jelly + wheat germ extract. They can be bought at a pharmacy. Mix everything, apply to the skin and hold until completely dry, then rinse.
Not everyone is helped by various masks, lotions and ointments, even those made from natural ingredients. Such people can fight acne with the help of ice cubes.
To prepare the cubes, you will need brewed and infused chamomile broth, which you pour into ice molds. Wipe with such cubes places of redness and acne.
You can prepare similar ice cubes from a decoction of St. John's wort (3-4 tsp per 1 liter of water), or chopped and frozen parsley, or the following solution: 0.5 tbsp. decoction of sage + with 3 tsp. aloe juice. If you wipe your face with such ice every day, you will not only get rid of acne, but also rejuvenate your skin.
