The market is saturated with a multitude of acne treatments. Most people do not put into consideration what goes into these different medications. For this reason, people end up purchasing medication that proves to either be too mild for their acne or too harsh on their skin. In addition to this, one may end up spending a lot of money in product before they figure out which one will work best to combat their acne. If this is the case, then one may consider making a homemade cream to battle their acne woes. Not only is this an affordable option, but homemade cream tends to be made from natural ingredients. This ensures that it in not abrasive to one’s skin and can also be altered to suit one’s particular skin type.
The first thing one will need to do is get a clean mixing bowl. The mixing bowl should be of average size. In the mixing bowl, one should pour in half a cup of baking soda. This should be followed by half a cup of water that is poured in slowly. This is to ensure that one mixes the baking soda and water thoroughly without any lumps.
Ensure that the mixture does not get too runny. In case this happens, one can add a few more teaspoons of baking soda until the mixture gets to an even consistency. If the mixture is too thick, one should add a little more water until the consistency is just right.
Once the mixture is ready, one should set it aside for a little while. The next step would be to grate half a cucumber. Once this is done, one should add the cucumber to the baking soda mixture. Ensure that the grated cucumber is mixed well in the baking soda mixture. Once this is done, one should get a separate bowl.
In this bowl, one should put two slices of apple. One should then proceed to mash the slices of apple until they become a pasty consistency. The most appropriate tool to do this would be a pestle. When the apple slices have been appropriately mashed, one should incorporate them into the baking soda and cucumber mixture. Ensure that the ingredients have been mixed in thoroughly.
To finish off the mixture, one should add in a tablespoon of honey. This should be stirred into the cream. Once this is done, one can now set the cream in the fridge so that it can sit for an hour undisturbed. The cream can be used once daily by applying it on one’s face, letting it sit for several minutes then rinsing it off.
