Homemade Acne Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons (20ml) Grapeseed oil
• 2 tablespoons (10g) Emulsifying wax
• 1/2 teaspoon (2ml) or 2 400-IU capsules Vitamin E
• 1/3 cup (75ml) Witch Hazel or distilled water
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) Aloe Vera gel
• 5 drops Lavender essential oil
• 3 drops Bergamot OR Lemon essential oil
• 1 drop Rose Geranium OR Ylang Ylang essential oil
• 5 drops Grapefruit Seed extract1 drop Cedarwood essential oil

Directions

1. Stir together the oil and emulsifying wax in a 1 cup glass heat-safe measuring cup (such as Pyrex.)


2. Place the measuring cup in a pot of water and warm slowly over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the wax is melted. Remove from heat. Add the Vitamin E.


3. Pour the witch hazel and aloe vera into a 2 cup glass heat-safe measuring cup. Stir to combine.


4. In a separate pot on the stove (using the water-bath method as above) or in the microwave, gentlywarm the witch hazel mixture until it's lukewarm.


5. Slowly pour the oil mixture into the witch hazel mixture, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Do NOT skip this step - your homemade acne cream will separate later if the witch hazel mixture is too cold.


6. Stir in the essential oils and the grapefruit seed extract.


7. Pour your homemade acne cream into a clean, sterilized 8oz (250ml) dark glass or PET plastic jar andallow it to cool before putting the cap on.


8. Shake the jar occasionally as the cream cools to prevent the ingredients from separating. Store in a cool, dark place.

This recipe makes approximately 4oz (125ml) of homemade face cream. Use it every night after washing and toning your face.

To complete your personal acne skin care routine, also make this tea tree facial wash and astringent tonerand use them evry night.

Customizing Your Homemade Acne Cream

• For a thinner consistency, add a little less emulsifying wax.


• You can also reduce the strength of the scent by decreasing the number of drops of essential oils. Do not increase the essential oils, since they should only be a certain percentage of the total recipe.


• Another good choice for acne skin care is a coconut oil moisturizer. To make your own, simply replace half the grapeseed oil with virgin, unrefined coconut oil. Note: It will make a thicker homemade acne cream because coconut oil is solid at room temprature.


• Some of my readers have written to say that aloe vera makes their sensitive skin sting. If that also applies to you, replace the aloe with a tablespoon of water.

Acne Scar Cream

How Can an Effective Acne Scar Removal Cream Help Eliminate Acne Scars?

Being given the wide range of products destined to heal the skin indentations caused by acne, choosing the best acne scar cream may be overwhelming for people affected by this unpleasant condition. So before picking a product, one should get more familiar with the action, benefits, ingredients and common side-effects of these acne scar removal creams or  treatments.

An efficient acne scar treatment, – whether we talk about medicines taken orally or gels and ointments applied topically – should be able not only to cure the unaesthetic pitted or pigmented scars, but also to promote skin regeneration. This property is essential for a good acne scar removal cream so one should keep this in mind when looking for an efficient treatment for scars caused by acne.

What are the actions of acne scar creams? How do they work?

The mechanism through which an acne scars cream manages to remove these disturbing skin indentations consists of dissolving the affected tissue and stimulating new skin’s growth. But this is not so easy to achieve unless the acne scar cream contains some powerful active ingredients, which are able to promote collagen production. So this is another important function of any ointment, cream or gel destined to heal the signs left by this skin condition.
As you may know, the two types of acne scars – pitted and pigmented – are the results of different acne manifestations. While pitted scars occur due to damaging of the underlying skin tissues, pigmented ones appear after the acne blemish disappears, leaving some reddish or brownish spots on the skin. So a good acne scar removal cream needs to be able to fade post inflammatory hyper pigmentation (PIH) and also the indentations of the skin left by acne nodules or cystic acne. These last ones are ice-pick or box-car acne scars developed due to dermis loss and they’re usually harder to remove.
Lots of acne scar removal products contain vitamins, herbs and natural acids that are known for their ability of dissolving the harmed tissue and promoting new skin cells growth. It’s better to opt for a natural acne scar cream, as it will diminish the skin indentations, flatten the raised scars and heal the discolored aspect of the skin without the side-effects of a synthetic product. Creams based on vitamin C, glycolic acid and retinol have proven effects in reducing acne scars and stimulating collagen production.
A good acne scars cream can make a dramatic effect and bring a noticeable difference in the skin’s aspect in only few weeks, depending on the severity of these signs. Revitol acne scar removal cream is only one of the products with topical application used by acne sufferers all over the world, with proven and very fast results. This cream is able to reduce the appearance of acne skin signs and indentations and stimulate the tissue’s regeneration at the same time.
So remember, when looking for an efficient acne scar cream, the first thing to consider is its composition, then the claimed effects and the price of the chosen product. Online reviews and testimonials may also be helpful in deciding which topical treatment is the best for your acne scars
