Teen Treatment |
 |
Teens can soothe painful acne by applying a homemade treatment.
Here are some skin care tips to help teenagers achieve the best possible results for their skin.
Don't pick your face:
If you pick, squeeze or pinch blemishes, you risk developing acne scars. Don't rub or touch blemishes.
Be gentle with cleaning:
Hard scrubbing will only make your skin condition worse. Gently wash your skin with a mild cleanser in the morning, at bedtime, and after heavy exercise. Avoid rough scrubs or pads. After you wash your skin, rinse it thoroughly.
Rainbow Fruity Bath Salts
3 quarts of Epsom salts or course sea salts
3 envelopes unflavored unsweetened Kool-Aid powder (one each of three different colors)
3-4 drops of scented Essential Oils which compliment the flavors of Kool-Aid you have chosen (Orange oil with orange Kool-Aid, Lavender Oil with Grape Kool-Aid, Peppermint Oil with strawberry Kool-Aid, etc)
Mix one envelope of Kool-Aid to 1 quart salts in three separate bowls. Add 3-4 drops of essential oils to each of the three bowls, in a scent which coordinates with the color. Alternate colored layers in a glass or plastic container.
To use, add 1/2 to 1 cup salts per bath. No, the Kool-Aid will NOT stain your skin or tub, as it will be in fairly small concentrations, but, your white towels are another matter! Careful!
Pore Cleaning Strips
This recipe makes a pore cleaning "strip" which works just like those sold in popular drugstores.
 |
1 T Knox unflavored gelatin
1-1/2 T milk |
Mix two ingredients and microwave for 10 seconds to slightly warm. Using a clean cosmetic brush, apply to nose and chin area. Avoid delicate eye area. Rinse brush immediately. Allow mixture on nose and chin to dry for 10-15 minutes. Mixture will dry quite stiff and form a "stiff film." Peel off the film and stare at all the little porcupine quills that used to be in your nose pores.
