Essential oils and herbal extracts are very beneficial to any skin care regimen. These oils and extracts contain thousands of naturally occuring chemical compounds that work together to produce very positive results. Chamomile, for example, is the perfect oil for irritated skin because it contains natural chamazuline, an anti-inflammatory substance. If you are looking for an effective, long-term solution to an acne problem, try this easy to make all natural facial scrub. It is a great alternative to commercial cleansers and just as effective. This homemade scrub not only serves as a gentle cleanser, but it is also gently and effectively exfoliates the skin. It is extremely cost effective and very customizeable depending on which essential oil you decide to use. I use lavender in my recipe, as it is beneficial for any skin type and is good for use everyday. My skin has honestly never looked better. I have even used this recipe and given this scrub out as gifts and had numerous people come back and ask me for more. It really does work to clear up the skin. Place all the following ingredients in a blender and blend for a good two minutes or until a smooth paste is obtained. Store in a 6-8oz jar. 3oz Sweet Almond Oil (Use Avacado or wheat germ for dry skin and Almond or Sunflower for oily skin) 4oz ground almonds 2oz cider vinegar 2oz distilled water 6 drops of lavender essential oil There is a vast array of essential oils you can use in this recipe. Oils that are suitable for all skin types are clary-sage, lemon, lime, sage, thyme, rosemary, neroli, chamomile, lavender and geranium. Oils especially good for dry skin are chamomile and palma rosa (rose). The best suited oils for oily skin are chamomile, lavender, clary-sage and thyme. Proper skin care is essential to maintain healthy, blemish free skin. The chemically laiden products people use on their faces today do nothing but cause underlying problems. Creating your own skin care products is a much more cost effective and downright healthier way to go! I hope this helps you as much as it has helped others I know. If you have any questions, or want dietary tips that might help your acne, please feel free to contact me. There are many things that you can do to hep repair and maintain your skin.

I have tried using facial scrub but it didn't do me good at all. It irritated my sking and got some pimples too. So I changed to another facial soap and that the papaya soap. It works well for me. SOmetimes I use milk soap or even put some Alpine on my face. :)

i guess thats what happened to her skin. she said it started when she used srub but was thinking that it will eventually go away.

She shouldn't exfoliate everyday. No one should. It doesn't give the skin a chance to renew and with acne, over-scrubbing will aggravate it and make it flare up more. She should try exfoliating twice a week and wash everyday with a non-scrubbing cleanser. She should also find a moisturiser that is good for her skin condition.

I personally wouldn't suggest scrubbing acne to anyone! Pimples are lesions or inflammations from infected pores. So to scrub your infected pores may inflame them even more and might even spread the infection. I'm not a professional dermatologist, but this seems like common sense to me. Some scrubs are made for acne, but I still can't see the actual scrub doing any good. Tell her to go for something a bit more loving to her skin with the acne fighting ingredients in it. OR she could try Tea Tree Oil, which I use all the time. It really works for me.
