Simple Steps to Prevent Acne – Home Made Remedies for your Skin

Do you want to know the simple steps to prevent acne? Acne is one of the most common skin problems. It is just a condition of the skin where the oil glands of the skin are involved. It shows up in different kind of bumps such as blackheads, whiteheads, cysts and pimples. Acne can affect people of all ages but is seen to be quite common in teenagers due to their hormonal changes. We mentioned few important ways to get rid of your acne. Just make sure you note them down somewhere and start implementing. So here we go,

Simple Steps to Prevent Acne

Before moving on to simple steps to prevent acne, here is why and how acne is caused? Skin has hair follicles which contain sebaceous glands or oil glands which in turn contains sebum. Sebum is an oil used to lubricate your skin and hair. When the sebaceous glands produces excess amount of sebum, the pores get clogged and traps the bacteria. This excessive amount of sebum will break down the cellular walls in your pores and cause the bacteria to grow. Also acne could be genetic. Medications which contain androgen and lithium may also cause acne. Sometimes eating chocolate too can cause acne. Most of us assume that acne can be a result of too much of stress. Stress doesn’t cause acne but it can worsen the existing acne as rise in stress levels increases the sebum production.

How to treat your skin when you have acne?
Acne is just a skin condition and if taken care properly in its early stages, can be prevented from making it worse. The following simple steps can be a definitive measure for prevention of acne. 

1) Wash your hands regularly and keep it clean
Your hands contain lots of germs and dirt and when you touch your face with your hands then it can make your acne worse. When you touch your face with your hands then the germs on it might flow inside the pores and might clog them. Hence it is always recommended to keep your hands clean before touching you face. Simple Steps to Prevent Acne

2) Never try to burst or squeeze the pimple
Keeping your hands clean is just not enough as your hands can do many more things to make the acne worse like squeezing and scratching the acne.

This might create more inflammation and damages your skin. It delays the healing process. Simple Steps to Prevent Acne

3) Always use make-up which doesn’t contain oil and which doesn’t clog the pores
When you wear a make-up which contains oil, it clogs your pores and causes acne. Don’t go to sleep with makeup. Cleanse your skin thoroughly to
remove the make-up. Always use makeup that is non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic. Usually mineral makeup works well with acne.

4) Wash your hair and keep it away from your face
Hair collects sebum and skin residue. If you do not wash your hair properly then it might result in scalp acne which can be annoying and painful. Hence it is recommended to keep the scalp clean and nourished. Dandruff is one of the main reason due to which you might suffer from scalp acne and when the dandruff falls on your face then your forehead might get mild acne.

The ideal remedy to treat scalp acne is to use a shampoo which contains benzoyl peroxide solution.



5) Avoid too much exposure to the sun
Sunburn is skin damage. Sun exposure can cause irritation which makes your acne worse. A burn or tan makes your skin shed more cells which clogs the pores.

6) Wash your face twice a day
Wash your face two times a day. Once when you wake up in the morning and then, right before you go to bed at night. Over-washing can make your oil glands to produce more sebum and thus increases the acne.

7) Always use mild soap and warm water to wash your face
Whenever you wash your face use a mild soap or a soap which is specially designed for acne. Be extremely gentle when you wash your face.

8) Avoid wearing tight garments
It is always preferred to wear loose clothes when your acne is on your shoulders, back or chest. Your skin needs to breathe. Tight garments like caps, headbands etc. must be avoided. Make sure to wear clean clothes.

9) Do not scrub your face hard
Scrubs are used to manually remove dead skin cells. We always assume that scrubbing helps to cleanse out your pores. In fact, scrubbing hard can increase irritation and redness.

10) Cleanse your face as gently as possible
Cleansing your face twice a day helps to remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup without damaging the skin. Cleansing too often doesn’t help your skin as it makes it drier. Hence cleanse your skin as gently as you can.
If your acne stays for a longer period then it is better to consult a dermatologist who can treat it with prescriptive medicines.

Cracked Nipples Home Remedies

From the hungry infant to scratchy undergarments, the nipples can take a beating that leads to the development of painful cracks. Women are not the only ones to suffer the aftermath. For instance, male athletes (such as cross country runners) can experience the same irritation. To minimize the discomfort and encourage healing, perhaps you’d like to get acquainted with home remedies for cracked nipples.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS
Nursing mothers are the prime sufferers of cracked nipples because of the wear and tear that comes with an infant hungrily latching on. One of the main reasons a mother will experience cracked or bleeding nipples is an improper latch, which is also accompanied by severe pain. Since feeding an infant is a daily task, healing is sometimes hindered. Using breast pumps is another way that nipples can become damaged [1]. For instance, some women mistakenly turn the suction level up too high or the pump is outfitted with breast shields that are too small.
Another cause of cracked nipples in women includes babies with thrush (yeast infection in the mouth). The infection can be passed on to mothers during breastfeeding and can cause pain and damage. Breastfeeding mothers should look for signs of itchiness, redness, cracks, and shooting pains in the breast during or after a feeding. Bras and undergarments made with abrasive materials that irritate the skin can cause cracked nipples.
Cracked nipples not only affect women, but men can also suffer. Severe dry skin conditions, such as eczema, can cause damage such as scaly, itchy, red patches of skin. Men with a breast cancer called Paget’s disease can experience a rash or irritation of the nipple. There is also a condition called ‘jogger’s nipple’ that strikes runners – especially long-distance runners. Since the nipple tissue is quite sensitive, friction can cause irritation accompanied by soreness and dryness.
CRACKED NIPPLES HOME REMEDIES
One of the most common culprits behind cracked nipples is breastfeeding, but nursing shouldn’t have to become a painful nightmare. As soon as you start to feel discomfort, keep an eye out on the appearance of your nipples. If the damage continues, you may need to consider one of the following home remedies for cracked nipples below:
1) Cold Pack:
Apply a cold pack to your nipples before nursing to enjoy temporary numbness that makes feeding your child less painful. The cold will dull the pain, which comes in especially helpful during the initial latch, which tends to produce the most discomfort.
2) Gentle Cleansing:
When cleaning your nipples, use a gentle approach. Rinse well with water to reduce the risk of infection in cracked nipples. Do not use alcohol, lotions, or perfumes on the nipples or you run the risk of further irritation.
3) Say ‘No’ to Soap:
Following childbirth, a liquid called colostrums emerges from the nipples. This substance acts as a natural lubricant that is removed when you use soaps that can also cause dryness and cracks. This is why you should opt for plain water when cleaning the nipples.
4) Coconut Oil:
Some people have rubbed coconut oil on cracked nipples to encourage effective healing.
5) Wet Washcloth:
A warm, wet washcloth can provide pain relief to cracked nipples before and after nursing.
6) Ice Cubes:
Before allowing a baby to latch up, apply ice cubes to cracked nipples. This will help to decrease the pain that occurs while nursing.
7) Tea Bags:
To enjoy soothing relief from cracked nipples, some women have applied warm, wet tea bags for a brief period of time after nursing.
h) Breast Milk:
Containing vitamin E, breast milk can actually help a mother heal cracked skin. After feeding the little one, pat dry your nipples, and then express a bit of breast milk. Rub in the liquid. Do not follow this home remedy for cracked nipples if you have thrust or you run the risk of spreading a yeast infection. Also, do not use the oil from a vitamin E capsule on your breasts as this is toxic for your baby.
8) Aloe Vera:
Having an aloe vera plant in the home can certainly come in handy. Break or cut open one of the leaves to extract fresh gel that helps speed up the healing process of sore, cracked nipples.
9) Petroleum Jelly:
Coating affected nipples with petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) can help heal cracked skin. Runners can also apply the petroleum jelly as a lubricant before going out for a run to lessen the effects of chafing.
10) Olive Oil:
Olive oil helps cracked nipples to heal naturally. Using your bare hand, apply the oil to your nipples two to three times per day over the course of a couple days.
11) Lemon Juice and Olive Oil:
If you’re looking to prevent cracks in your nipples during a pregnancy, create a healing blend made out of pure lemon juice and olive oil. Rub the remedy on your nipples throughout your trimesters.
12) Honey and Olive Oil:
A mixture of honey and olive oil can soften and moisturized damaged nipples.
13) Avoid Soap:
When cleaning your irritated nipples, keep in mind that using soap can lead to further cracking.
14) Go Shirtless:
Male joggers prone to cracked nipples should consider taking off their shirt to prevent irritating the skin. Anyone else should choose their clothing carefully. Opting for items made out of silk and Lycra will reduce damage to the nipples. Choose loose-fitting shirts for the best results. Women should wear a sports bra that properly fits and reduced movement of the breast.
15) Surgical Tape and Cotton:
Protect a healing nipple by using a piece of surgical tape to cover a small amount of cotton over the damage.
16) Band-Aid:
When running or participating in sports with cracked nipples, use a Band-Aid as protection during any activity.
17) Diaper Rash Cream:
Soothing ointments, such as diaper rash cream, have been known to ease the pain of irritated skin.

Homemade Makeup Remover & Face Wash

The makeup remover and face wash I have been using for the last few months is almost unbelievable!
They are simple natural products no animal testing, no harsh ingredients.  

It was always right under my nose and these products I've been using are probably right under yours too!

Okay enough of the run around, What is it already?

For my makeup remover I use Olive Oil.

Olive oil doesn't just remove your makeup it will break down long lasting and waterproof makeup, it will also soften your skin.

I put a small amount in a mini spray bottle.

 I spray it on a piece of  tissue or cotton ball.

Then watch your makeup melt off.

Now you maybe saying "there is no way I am putting olive oil on my face"

I completely understand that because I was the same way before I found out that Olive Oil's molecules are to large to be absorbed in to our pores! 

*Olive oil has added benefits in nourishing the skin

It contains lots of antioxidants like VitaminE and VitaminK

If you go back and watch my video Why do we get dark circles?, I mention that VitaminK is key in lessening the appearance of dark circles.

*It also has Squalene which is in a lot of moisturizers, besides also being present in our own bodies and in all plant and animal life.

After I remove my makeup with the olive oil my face feels slick and oily, but completely clear of makeup and soft.

Now it's time to wash my face! 

So I grab my box of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda!

Yep Baking Soda, it works so good. I was in shock after the first time I used it! 

The first time I used baking soda as a cleanser was because of one of my subscribers had told me about it! I looked over and saw that I was out of my Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean for Normal to Oily Skin.

I wanted to use that cleanser cause my skin felt filthy, I also had a bad breakout.
I glanced over and saw that the box of baking soda was sitting next to my cleanser.
So I tried it, I poured a bit of baking soda (bicarbonate soda) in my hand and wet it then I started washing and scrubbing.
It took a little extra rinsing off but when I was done my skin felt great! 
I really was in disbelief that my face felt better then when I wash with most of my Face Washes.
Using Baking Soda cleared up my breakout so quick, and my face wasn't just clean it was POLISHED!

*If you have oily skin you will love this! 

*If you have dry skin make sure you use the olive oil first this will soften flakey skin and make it lift with ease.

*If you have a breakout you should exfoliate with the baking soda or at least exfoliate the breakout area you will love how quickly it heals up the blemishes.

*If you hate looking at blackheads on your nose or chin you will love washing your face with baking soda it will completely clean them up! 

**WARNING if you are sensitive for any reason Do NOT wash your face with Baking Soda!!!
 
 Be careful with the baking soda just like any exfoliator remember  NOT to over scrub or use baking soda to wash your face everyday! once a week should be fine!

5 Homemade Bath Salts That You Can Make Yourself

Bath salts are a great addition to your relaxation regimen. They are wonderful for getting rid of dead skin and moisturizing, and reducing stress.

Bath salts soothe the mind and body and are an excellent way to pamper yourself. Bath salts are a wonderful way to combine the theraputic benefits of our all-natural bath salt with the relaxing, soothing effects of aromatherapy. A lot of people don’t realize that homemade bath salt is also very healthy for the body as well as the overall mind.

Creating your own unique bath salt recipe can be as simple as adding essential oils to bath salts, but adding dried herbs, colorants or other natural ingredients make the possibilities endless.

The heat in bath water makes these wonderful smelling homemade bath salts come in waves but you can change the essential oils within any of our homemade bath salt recipes to suit your own needs.

Lavender Bath Salts

Used 1 cup of epsom salts and half a cup of sea salt for this, adding about 8 drops of lavender. (This one was for me, and We adore lavender – it made the bathroom smell heavenly!) Adjust the fragrance, just adding one or two drops at a time until you’re happy with it. Lavender is difficult color to achieve with food coloring, but we got a pleasant lavender hue by using far more red than blue. Decorate the jar by threading lavender ribbon through the openings in an ecru doily, tie in place and make a bow. Alternatively, use a rubber band to secure the doily, then tie a ribbon over it.

Sea Salts

Sea salts are mineral-rich “all purpose” salts commonly added to bath salt blends. Next to Epsom salts, sea salts are the most inexpensive salts available. They help to draw toxins from the skin and soothe sore muscles.

Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)

This main ingredient helps relax mind and body. Soaking in Epsom salt can help provide soothing relief from stress, sore muscles, and stiffness. Many people are deficient in magnesium, and it can be easily absorbed by the body during a warm bath. Epsom salt is widely available at grocery stores and pharmacies.

Exotic Salts

Other more exotic salts such as Hawaiian Red Sea Salts (Alaea), Black Sea Pink Salts, and Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Salts are also available. These salts generally are more expensive, but their coloration, texture and therapeutic properties are highly sought after.

Flowery Homemade Bath Salts

If you’re looking for a quick and easy bath time treat to really pamper and scent the skin, then look no further. Dead Sea salt is full of minerals and it’s been teamed up with two of the most fragrant essential oils that will leave your skin smelling wonderful. The elderflowers in this homemade bath salt gives it an extra special touch, but they may be substituted with a sprinkling of calendula petals, lavender buds or left out altogether if you don’t have any to hand.

 Homemade Bath Salts

Making the Bath Salt

Take supplies in appropriate amounts – 1 cup Epsom salt, 1 cup sea salt (after removing impurities), 1 – 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 – 2 teaspoons glycerin, and 10 -12 drops of essential oils (lavender oil or eucalyptus oil). If you want to impart color to the bath salts, use a small amount of food coloring paste or skin-safe liquid colorant. Line a baking sheet with wax paper for drying the salts.
