Acne is like an unwanted visitor that does not need to be invited. It comes at an unexpected time and you have no choice but to deal with it. Not only does it make you feel ugly, oftentimes, it is also very irritating. Unfortunately, getting it under control could also mean draining your wallet, unless, you know some cheap homemade acne remedy that will face the problem on your face – such as the baking soda face mask.
The main reason that acne arises is due to the dirt and sweat on your skin. The oilier your skin is, the more prone you are to it. Thus, one preventive measure is to keep your skin dry and that is what baking sodas do; dries up the skin that leads to the faster healing of skin blemishes and lessens the possibility of potential break outs.
The following are the steps in making a baking soda face mask:
- Mix baking soda and water at 3:1 ratio or just the amount needed to create a pasty mixture.
- Gently apply all-over your face such that it looks like a mask
- Let it stay for 15 – 20 minutes
- Rinse off very well
- Dry your face with a towel
- Apply moisturizer if needed (if your skin becomes too dry)
You may do this on a regular basis especially if you have naturally oily skin and you will definitely avoid, if not totally eliminate, acne. Now you have a remedy for your acne that is cheap, effective and all-natural.
