Treating Acne With Sandalwood

Comments (0)

There is a tree in Australia that excretes sandalwood natural essential oil. Australian Aborigines eat the nuts and fruits from this sandalwood tree to help heal minor health problems. Acne can also be treated with sandalwood natural essential oil.

The properties that make sandalwood natural oil great for treating acne are astringent, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. It has the ability to help heal past acne scars. It also kills bacteria on the skin and reduces acne swelling.

There is a great paste that you can apply on your blemishes. The recipe is one tablespoon of sandalwood power, one tablespoon of turmeric powder, and a little honey. It will clear up your acne and blemishes.

If you have dry itchy or sensitive skin, then you need to try putting sandalwood on it. The perfect mixture is a little milk, camphor oil, and sandalwood powder. Mixing limejuice into the mixture will make it perfect for healing rashes.

The mixture of rosewater and sandalwood can help with oily complexions. It will soak up the excess oil and still treat the current acne. It prevents future blockages because it soaks up the excess oil.

Large pores are common after having acne. By mixing and applying sandalwood powder, gram powder, and rosewater or milk or honey you can reduce your pore size. This mixture will also help to shrink your acne and stop breakouts.

The fragrance of sandalwood is strong and warm. Red sandalwood is another option to use because it is just as effective as sandalwood. The only difference is that red sandalwood is odorless.

You will need more than to just treat your acne symptoms with sandalwood. You will need a product that will get to the root of your acne problem. This treatment is natural and does not have any side effects, but some may develop a rash to it.

Curing Acne May Mean Washing Your Face Less

There's no getting around it - if you want skin that's healthy, you have to clean your face regularly. That can and often does lead to over-washing, which can therefore have a negative effect in your quest of curing acne. The answer may be simply to balance your washing cycle, don't over do it.

Studies have shown that using too many products such as medications and creams, etc., for your face will have the opposite effect you're going for. If you wash the face 5-6 times per day, for instance, while at the same time dabbing plenty of creams and such, you could be worsening the condition and even be making your skin too dry or oily.

Keeping your face looking healthy and keeping it clean is a great idea. Who wants their face to be full of acne, after all? You don't need to spend your paycheck on the various chemical solutions out there, or dab on every lotion you see, just to maintain your face. Often, the answer is far simpler than that: soap washed off with lukewarm water will do.

Perhaps you're one of the few that requires more than soap and water. If that's so, then take a look at the options available. You have a choice of many lotions and creams, as well as moisturizing agents to pick from. Seeking help from your dermatologist is perhaps the best first step. You may find that your solutions have been in contrast to your skin type.

Nonetheless - keeping it simple will probably go a lot further in your search in curing acne. You can wash up once each day with soap and just pat dry with a fluffy towel. If you do need the medical treatment - if your doctor has prescribed it - then keep washing your skin just one time a day.

When you wash your face too much - even with soap and water - you create a problem for the skin. See, when you rub your face with this simple solution and over-do it, the lesions on your face can explode. Sounds gross, but then what happens is more infection, and a bigger acne problem.

Often, doctors will write out a prescription of some cream or even an oral treatment that may cure the acne over time. This is great since you won't be using too many other solutions on your face and won't be causing skin irritation through too much friction. Curing acne is really much simpler if you educate yourself on what's too much and what's just right.
