Acne Myths and A Recipe to Clear It All Up
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY (make your own!), anti-aging, education, handmade, perfect pores, recipe, skin care
Reality: Zits aren’t caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in advertising, pores don’t get blocked from the top down due to “impurities”. Rather, the walls of a pore stick together deep within the skin, starting acne formation. Far from keeping acne at bay, frequent washing may actually irritate pores and cause them to become more clogged. A washcloth can add even more irritation. The best bet is to wash your face gently with clean, bare hands, and only wash twice a day.

I was down with a major head cold over the weekend and as a result of rubbing my nose raw with too many Subway napkins (who buys Kleenex anyway?) and suffering rough, chapped lips from heavy-duty decongestants and antibiotics, my face was not lookin’ too good, ya’ll.
So I reached for a few (hopeful) remedies and thank goodness, by the time Monday rolled around, I was actually quite presentable.
