Pinning Your Hope On Good 'ld Witch Hazel |
|
It seems like every acne cleanser promises a miracle cure, but few of
them really deliver. I have suffered from acne for years, and even
though I have cut down to just one fast food meal a day, each acne
cleanser I try does little or nothing for my problem. Some times they
dry out my face so much that they only make the problem worse, and then
I have to eat extra greasy food just to compensate, and rehydrate my
face. I swear, my arteries just can not stand too many more of these
acne cleansers!
When you are shopping for an acne cleanser, you
should keep a few things in mind. One of them – the most important in my
opinion, is that modern science has still not developed an effective
cure for acne. Trust me, I know. My face is so pocked with craters, that
I occasionally get mistaken for the man in the moon.
There are some acne
cleansers that can help you more than other, but they are few and far
between. The upshot of all of this is that it is a bad idea to pay too
much for an acne cleanser. Why pay through the nose for something that
will not even work barely at all. That is a very stupid idea, as far as
I am concerned. Aren't there other things which you would rather spend
your money on?
Honestly, I have tried basically every acne
cleanser known to man, from the most complex and new-fangled
concoctions, to the simplest or most back to basic. Of all of them, my
favorite acne cleanser is just good old witch hazel. It is a natural
astringent, and quite similar to rubbing alcohol in its effects, but
because it is all natural, it is much more gentle on your skin. Although
my zits have never been completely cured by this acne cleanser, it has
not made my skin peel the way many of the other ones have, and overall,
I would say that it has made some improvements to my health and beauty.
Another thing that helps is some mild soap, especially if it is
specially formulated acne cleanser soap. Acne is a type of skin
irritation, and so conventional soap that further irritates your face
can really exacerbate your acne problems. Trust me, all natural is
better with everything that you can put on your face if you are dealing
with acne.
