Over the years I have used various facial cleaners, my favorite had been Clinique. After reading various natural ways to help with acne, pores etc... I came up with this 3 step process which I use and some friends have tried and like it and now use it too.
I think of all the teenagers who are going through so much, and then they get a good case of acne. You may want to try this out and see if it works for you! A good friend of mine has a teenage son, and he had been on prescription medicine for his acne. He no longer takes his acne medication, but uses this instead!
The things I really like about this cleaner: it's easy, cheap, healthy and works for most people.
Face Cleaner:
1. Toner-Witch hazel
2. Acne and Face-In a bottle-I put about 3/4 clear aloe vera and 1/4 hydrogen peroxide and shake (I always make sure I use a fairly new bottle of hydrogen peroxide). If my face is oilier, I use 2/3 aloe vera and 1/3 hydrogen peroxide.
3. I follow up applying coconut oil, castor oil or apricot seed oil...
4. Optional: 1-2 times a week, in the shower I wet some baking soda in my hands and rub it on my face. It seems to open up and clean out my pours
I don't put the oil on my zits, or on oily areas. (My friend's teenage boy doesn't use the oil at all.) On acne or zits, I put the aloe mix on it. If it is severe, I use it throughout the day. If I get a sunburn, I put the aloe mix on it also. My little girl loves this little aloe mix "medicine" for her bug bites and rashes.
I also used the coconut oil for my baby's cradle cap and diaper rash. If any of my kids get any kind of rash, I will use the coconut oil as well. It all has truly helped us.
I also like using coconut all over my body. I sometimes even add a couple drops of lavender oil to it for the nice smell.
