You can write on the bottle so you don’t forget when it was made. Where can I get a dark bottle? A well-washed detergent, rinsed with boiled water (you can use boiling water, just be careful) and a dried dark bottle, for example from cough syrup, or boric or salicylic acid, will do.

The remedy will be more effective if you combine it with proper nutrition. It is recommended to exclude spicy, fatty, sweet and starchy foods from the diet.

Cooking secrets

To make a healthy mash for the skin , you need to follow simple recommendations when preparing it.

To begin with, solid ingredients should be crushed to a powder state, then mixed with liquid ones, which are first combined in a separate container. Then all the ingredients need to be mixed thoroughly.

If you are using a recipe for acne mash from a cosmetologist for the first time, you need to adhere to the following rules :

You should not use a blender or coffee grinder to grind tablets. As a result, bitterness may remain in the devices, which will be very difficult to get rid of.
First of all, you should mix the liquids, then pour the powdered ingredients into them.
To store the medicinal composition you need to use a glass container. The chatterbox should only be left in a cool place.
Immediately after mixing, the bottle should be left for several hours at room temperature. At the same time, it needs to be shaken vigorously from time to time.
For the first time, it is not recommended to prepare a lot of medicine. The fact is that the resulting composition may not suit your skin.

After applying the medicinal product to the face, the actions are different - it all depends on the composition of the mash.

Some drugs should be washed off with warm water, after which it is recommended to treat the skin with a moisturizer. Other products are left on the face.
