I am
one of those who has always had a healthy skin but in my teen age
years my skin became very oily, there were some dark spots and I
experienced my first outbreak of acne. I felt that my world was
coming crashing down when the first pimple appeared. What followed
was a lot of creams and medication that only aggravated my skin as
they had chemicals which reacted with my skin.
Then
I got some relief when I started washing my face with rose water. The
best way to soothe angry skin is to dab a swab of cotton in rose
water and gently wipe the face with it.
Frequent
washing the face by splashing it with cold water also helps to get
rid of the oil and grime.
It
is advised to splash cold water and not rub the face very hard as the
facial skin is delicate.
I
have also tried applying turmeric based home made face packs. One of
my gramdma's favourite is one in which she would grind solid turmeric on a stone slab and keep adding a few drops of water so that a
uniform paste is formed. She would then add a few drops of rose water
in this paste . This paste has a very refreshing feel to it and
gives a feel that the skin has been refreshed and rejuvenated.
Another
sure shot formula that is tried and tested is the use of a piece of
sandal wood . By rubbing it against a stone slab and adding water a
mild and fragrant paste is formed. This when applied to the face not
just makes the face smelling so good but clean and also makes the skin
fairer. A few drops of rose water can also be added to the paste.
This can be applied to the face or any part of the body exposed to
the Sun. It is a great method to treat prickly and cures facial
blemishes.
Another
method that used to work very well for me was to mix a spoon of
sandalwood powder ,one spoon of turmeric powder and a pinch of
camphor powder .Apply the mix over the acne,the scars left bt the
acne and the black heads. Leaving this mix on over night helped
reduce the scars ,blackheads and acne.
However
later I discovered the "VICCO Turmeric Cream" This is a
foam based cream which is very easy to apply and use. The best part
is that this being a herbal Ayurvedic product is free from harmful
chemicals. Its a product that works magic on oily skin, pimples and
blackheads.
"VICCO
Turmeric Cream" is based on an Ayurvedic fomulation with
microbial properties of turmeric. It is very useful over the counter
treatment and medication that helps to prevent and cure any skin
infections,rashes ,allergies etc. It also helps to stop bleeding of
minor wounds and even helps in healing them quickly.
Together
with the power of turmeric and the foam based cream helps to wash off
any bacteria and microbes from the skin with each wash.
