Face beauty is a real problem with teens as well as adults. Keeping your skin clear is very important for your self-esteem. Acne is a contrition that forms when the hair follicles clog. Sebum normally drains to the surface of your pores. When it cannot longer do that, bacteria forms and it produces blackheads and whiteheads.

What can you do about this situation?

The most important thing is to keep those pores clean. That will do the most to keep your skin clear and healthy.

You can go right to the pharmacy and get what is advertised on local media outlets. Or like many others you can also use “do-it-yourself” facial masks right from your home.

Before you consider what ingredients you will want to use, you must keep in mind that every person’s skin is different. Not everything works for all people. You might have oily or dry skin. Find what works best for you, and you will be satisfied with the results at the end of the day.

If you have oily skin, masks made from mud or clay based materials work best. If you skin is dry, you want products made from glycerin, honey and other oils.

Some of these recipes include egg whites and yogurt.

All you have to do is to mix the egg whites with the yogurt and apply them to your face. Leave that on for a few minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Oatmeal and yogurt works very good as well. This mask takes about 3 minutes. You combine finely ground oatmeal, one tablespoon of live yogurt. You add a few drops of honey. Apply this mixture on the face and leave it for ten minutes. Rinse with warm water and follow with a warm washcloth.

You’ve heard that white sugar is not good for you. That is not true when you are using it to wash your face. It is better than salt because it is gentle on the skin. You will have to mix the sugar with warm water and apply it to the skin. You do not need to leave it on. You massage the skin and then rinse with a warm washcloth.

By using natural ingredients, you can find in your kitchen, you can make facial masks done with your hand that do every bit as well as most products you can find at the pharmacy. They are gentle, they work, and they are natural. They contain no harsh chemicals and most skin types can use them whether oily or dry. The most important consideration is that you will be satisfied with the results.
