Acne mash: homemade recipe

Problems associated with acne are familiar to most people. Such rashes can take a long time to heal, become inflamed, fester, hurt and itch, and they also cause psychological discomfort when they appear on visible parts of the body.

Today, there are many home and pharmacy medications available in various forms designed to combat acne. Despite the rapid development of pharmacology, one of the most effective remedies against acne is still chatterbox.

This article discusses in detail the methods of preparing various versions of mash and the features of its use in practice.

When should you use an acne lotion?

The use of talker is recommended in the following cases:

The presence of minor skin lesions with acne;
Tendency to acne - in this case, the product helps to tone the skin and is used for preventive purposes.

When acne or extensive rashes appear, the mash is ineffective; in such situations, you need to contact a dermatologist to diagnose, determine the causes and prescribe complex therapy.

Causes of acne

In order to quickly and irrevocably get rid of acne, you must first determine the cause of its appearance. Having eliminated it, you can easily cope with the rashes themselves by using medications and folk remedies. To find out the cause, you will most likely have to contact specialists - doctors, cosmetologist, nutritionist . But without establishing an accurate diagnosis, it is useless to fight the rash; it will appear again and again.

The main causes of acne are:

disruption of the body’s hormonal levels – the cause may be either a temporary “surge” of hormones (for example, in women during menstruation, pregnancy), or problems in the activity of the adrenal glands, ovaries, and so on;
pathologies in the gastrointestinal tract - such as dysbiosis, gastritis and others;
improperly organized diet - the consequences of a passion for fast food, carbonated drinks, sweets;
improper or insufficient hygiene;
use of low-quality or inappropriate cosmetics;
constant stress and overwork;
use of certain medications;
change of climate or season.

How is chatter beneficial for the skin?

There are many different recipes for making mash; using different components allows you to achieve the necessary results depending on the specifics of the problem that has arisen.

Among the positive properties that the product has are:

Elimination of existing rashes and reducing the risk of subsequent relapses;
Moderate drying of the skin;
Normalization of the sebaceous glands;
Providing a tonic effect;
Vitamin and mineral replenishment, taking into account the characteristics of the selected composition;
Stimulation of restoration processes in areas with damaged tissues;
Local impact directly on pathogenic foci.

Tips for use

It is recommended to use acne talker in accordance with the list of rules outlined below:

Before the procedure, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the treated areas ; for this, special alcohol-free products are used. Tar soap or skin care products containing casein are best suited for such purposes, since they do not cause drying and flaking;
The mash is applied to areas with acne using a sterile cotton swab or fingers , but excessive rubbing must be avoided, as this increases the risk of drying out the upper layers of the epidermis, which can subsequently provoke relapses;
The mash is applied to the face once a day ; it is better to choose the evening hours for the procedure;
When carrying out the procedure, you should avoid applying the mash to the area around the eyes and eyelids , as it can lead to unpleasant consequences;
When treating acne with talkative, sunbathing and the use of decorative cosmetics are contraindicated;
When completing the course, it is recommended to follow a dairy-vegetable diet ; fried foods and foods high in fat are excluded from the diet. Meals should be fractional, meals are taken 5 times a day;
The mash is stored in glass containers for no more than 1 month ; after the expiration of the specified period, the product must be disposed of. It is best to keep mash in the refrigerator, but not in the freezer;
The duration of the course is 1 month . It is not recommended to use the mash for a longer period of time, as this can cause drying and flaking of the skin, disruption of the sebaceous glands and the reappearance of acne, and will also cause addiction to the product, which will reduce its effectiveness. After taking a break of 2-3 weeks, you can take a repeat monthly course.

Reviews about the tincture

In most cases, opinions about it are very positive, but there is always a chance of encountering an allergic reaction. The tincture is used either in its pure form and applied pointwise with a cotton swab, or you make various chatterboxes and tonics and simply wipe the face or other problem area (for example, the back) with a cotton pad.

Negative experience with using the tincture may also be associated with improper use or non-compliance with the dosage when preparing the product.

Reviews on the use of calendula tincture for acne on the face and body:

No matter what products I used, I couldn’t get rid of acne. I came across a recipe for mash and am very pleased. The only negative is that the product slightly dries out the skin. I recommended the recipe to my sister.
I also used a mash with calendula tincture. Within a week my face was clear of acne. But the cause of my rashes was not related to internal problems.
My skin is sensitive. The use of calendula tincture led to its overdrying, as well as burning and minor burns. Therefore, I use this medicine to gargle.
I buy this tincture only for making face masks. This is my salvation!
