Common Household Ingredients used to Clear Skin
If you want to clear skin products it does not always take a complex formula. Sometimes you can use a variety of items that you have in your home.
Cleansers/Toners
Ideas for cleansers and toners that can be used includes lemon or lime juice, witch hazel, or baking soda. Sometimes these ingredients might be blended together or mixed with other common home cleansing agents.
Another popular home ingredient used to clear skin is white vinegar. It helps to dilute it with water though so it is not so strong. However, it usually does come as diluted to 5% acidity. This helps ensure household safety.
Scrubbers/Exfoliates
Sometimes you can crush almonds and use them in a baking soda paste. You might also want to purchase a special natural soap base in which to put the crushed almonds.
You can also gently scrub your face with baking soda and water. The baking soda can help soften your face when you wash the substance off. Make sure you do not scrub to hard and do not wipe it off your face with a wash cloth but rather wash it off with water and then dab your face dry.
There are other types of scrubs-mainly ones used for body acne and body cleansing-that you can use. For instance, you can make some from oatmeal and honey as part of a mask and/or paste.
You might consider using salt or sugar granules in a paste instead though. The salt or sugar grains especially would work well mixed with lemon juice. It is recommended that you use a bit of water with this solution so that you do not dry out or irritate your face.
Moisturizers
If you have some almond oil or Vitamin E oil around that would be idea. However, if you do not and instead you happen to have an avocado you can spread that on your face and let it sit. Then wipe it off.
By the way, if you use the almond oil or Vitamin E oil you usually would only need a few drops. Another common moisturizing oil you can use to replenish the natural moisture balance of your face is olive oil.
Remember only to use a few small drops though or your face will be greasy. Another option would be to make an anti-aging mask out of ingredients that are high in protein. For instance, perhaps you use milk or eggs as a base.
