Teenage Skin Care Treatments

Honey is great for drawing out impurities. It also contains a large amount of potassium, giving it antibacterial properties. For serious cases, try a complete facial mask of pure honey, rather than just a spot treatment. Let's discuss how to get best out of our skin care treatment. Soak a cotton ball in warm salt water; press on the blemish for three minutes to help dissolve the top. Dab a bit of honey on the affected area to deep-clean the pore and draw out any bacteria. Sit for ten to 15 minutes. Clean the face with normal cleanser; then rinse the skin well with warm water, then cool water.

Almond meal mask is another invaluable addition to our teenage skin care treatments. This mask makes a good blackhead treatment. Almond meal is easy to make at home. Let's tell you how. Simply grind whole almonds in your coffee grinder or blender until they reach the consistency of cornmeal.

You may also substitute ground oatmeal. Ingredients are 2 tablespoons of almond meal and 1-2 tablespoons of distilled water. Mix the almond meal or oatmeal and water into a smooth paste, adding more water if necessary. Spread the mixture over the face and lightly massage the skin. Let the mask sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water, followed by cool water. Pat the skin dry.

Teenage Care

Fresh Strawberry Mask is also quite popular among all the teenage skin care treatments. Strawberries are rich in salicylic acid, a key ingredient in many commercial blemish control products that rids the skin of dead cells and deep-cleans the pores. In addition to helping heal blemishes, strawberries also have a mild bleaching effect on the skin. The ingredients are: 1/2 cup flesh strawberries, 1 tablespoon of milk and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Now mix the ingredients together to make a smooth paste. Spread over the face and neck and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse first with warm water, then cool water. Follow with a mild astringent such as witch hazel, and apply a light moisturizer. Refrigerate any leftover mask and discard after one week.
