Acne Cleanser Prevent Acne
In searching for an acne cleanser or how to prevent acne, many people begin at their nearby Long’s, Walgreen’s, or Rite Aid. The aisles are full of various popular brands of cleansing bars, deep cleansing lotions, scrubs, toners, masks, black head removal strips, and more. Each person who buys one or more of these products buys them with hope, thinking perhaps they will help give them skin like that of the models on the cover of the packages. Sometimes these products work, and sometimes they don’t. If they don’t work for you, it gets very expensive going through the various acne cleansers in search of the one that will bring you the clear skin you’ve been dreaming of or to tell you how to prevent acne.
One alternative is to go to Costco. They often sell Neutrogena and other acne products at a big discount. You have to buy several bottles or at least one great big bottle, but if you’ve already tried the acne cleanser and you know it works for you, and want to keep using it, it makes sense to buy it in larger quantities at a store like Costco and save some money. Learning how to prevent acne is a trial an error technique, not all the products work the same for everyone.
Some people think paying big bucks for a product that’s promoted specifically as an acne cleanser is a waste of time. Do you ever wonder what people did before all these acne products were produced and sold? Some just used regular soap and hoped for the best. Some used various herbal applications and had good results.
What sorts of herbs or other common ingredients might make a good acne cleanser? Here’s one: oatmeal and cornmeal mixed with plain yogurt. This makes a gentle cleanser that has a bit of exfoliating action. For this gentle acne cleanser, use 1/2 cup of either oatmeal or cornmeal and mix it with enough plain yogurt to turn it into a paste. Then apply to the face (avoiding the eye area) and wash off with water. Oatmeal tends to absorb things (such as oil and dirt) and it also helps soften the skin. This will only help you to fix your acne problems but not to prevent acne.
A facial mask to use after your acne cleanser is a combination of apples and honey. Grate one medium-size apple and mix it with about five tablespoons of honey. Apply it to your face (avoiding the eyes) and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then splash it off with cool water. This is a great treatment for oily skin, and certainly costs less than a mask on sale at the drug store.

Hi there! followed the track from a comment you had left on my blog. You've got a cool blog going here.
My aversion to yogurt is very subjective. I love plain yogurt and also love yogurt cooked in dishes. I just dislike “thair sadam”. I cannot eat rice and yogurt together! and that too at the end of every meal? no way!!
It caused a lot of distress when I was young and everyone wanted to force me to eat this SI staple. Fortunately, I was able to satisfy everyone with a few mouthfuls of plain rice followed by plain [...]
