The first basic tip before using home remedies for acne is to avoid irritating acne prone skin.

Treat the skin on your face like you want it to feel; soft and smooth. The skin on your face is more sensitive to irritation than the rest of your body. When washing your face do not scrub your skin. Do not use a loofah or rough rag to clean your face. Also, when drying your face gently dab dry using a soft towel or let your face dry naturally.

Wash your face with a cleanser twice a day while causing the least amount of irritation. Gently rub in a generous amount of a cleanser (one and a half to two pumps) on your face. Barely touch your skin letting the cleanser glide across the surface. Try to apply it in ten seconds or less. The less you touch your face the better. Use the same soft touch when applying any kind of moisturizer, acne remedy, or treatment that needs to be rubbed in. Watch a video on how to gently apply a cleanser for acne.

 Avoid irritating sensitive areas with harsh or acidic properties such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or diluted essential oils like tea tree oil. Apply them avoiding the eye area, eyebrows, and keeping about a quarter inch away from the mouth. Use a gentle cleanser to clean your face instead of regular soaps or soaps that contain detergents. Regular soaps leave behind a film that clogs pores, and the degreasing effects of detergents cause the skin to dry out causing the body to produce more acne causing oil. The degreasing effects of detergents can also cause an early onset of wrinkles.

To avoid irritating and drying out the skin do not use use scrubs and peels daily. Exfoliates and face scrubs in general should be used at most twice a week for people with average skin and once a week for people with dry or sensitive skin. A full face peel should be used at most once a week. Pore strips over the nose area should be used at most three times a week. What happens if you use scrubs and peels daily? The top layer of oil that is produced to protect the skin gets peeled or scrubbed away, and the body produces an excess amount of to compensate for the loss of the necessary amount of oil.

For the same reasons mentioned before (dry skin and irritation) do not cleanse your face more than two times a day. Even after a workout in the middle of the day, use warm water to rinse your face instead of a cleanser.

Banish Tinnitus Review

Does Banish Tinnitus Work? If you have tinnitus – the buzzing, ringing, or clicking in your ears, then chances are you’ve been looking for a remedy or a cure for a long time. Tinnitus is miserable, believe me I know as I also suffer from tinnitus. That said, I’ve used many of the strategies from this and other books and reduced my tinnitus symptoms dramatically. In fact, on most days I don’t have or don’t notice my tinnitus at all! The strategies in Banish Tinnitus are solid, however I’m not so sure this book will be as useful for those with severe tinnitus symptoms. That said, I think it’s still worth a shot, and if you use Paul’s 3 Simple Steps to a Cure and they don’t work for you, you can get a full refund – no questions asked. What’s Covered in the Banish Tinnitus eBook? This book is relatively short, but is packed full of information. There are technically 11 sections in Banish Tinnitus according to the index page, but it’s really loosely divided into 5 sections: P...
