Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone!! First time poster to this sub! I wanted to share with you all how I (finally) got my acne under control after years of struggle. I have always had combination skin. My really terrible acne began as an adult and for several years no matter what I did it got worse and worse. It was creating scars and the bumps were a mixture of the under-the-skin type and these huge mountains that no makeup would completely cover. I tried proactive and every other product out there short of those prescribed by a dermatologist. As a last ditch effort before going to see a doctor, I decided to just mess around with some things on my own.Here is what worked for me: 1. I switched my soap to a bamboo charcoal bar soap made by the Healing Tree. I use this twice a day. 2. I switched my moisturizer to Avalon Organics Intense Defense with Vitamin C oil-free moisturizer. I apply twice a day after washing. 3. Every other day (while my acne was its worst), directly after washing my face, I used a face mask I made myself. I bought some activated charcoal caplets and I would break one open and mix the charcoal inside with a few teaspoons of raw honey and several drops of teatree oil. I would spread this all over my face and leave it for about 20 minutes, then use some paper towels and water to wipe it off. Then I would moisturize.After a few weeks I noticed MAJOR improvement. It seriously fixed everything. Occasionally, I still get a bump here or there, but I no longer consider myself a person "with acne". My face is almost 100% clear almost 100% of the time. I rarely even need the mask anymore except to spot treat an area occasionally. I realize that what worked for me may not work for everyone else but if nothing else is working for you, give this a try! If it helps I would love to hear about it. Good luck on your journey to clear skin!
