Effective inflammed acne cure

This remedy is a surprised find, as the purpose of this skin care remedy is supposed to reduce pores and remove blackheads.

The wonderful side effect, is reducing the volcano-like, inflamed acnes!!!

After the wonderful find, I did some Google research, and some people have indeed testified its effectiveness :D

The wonderful home remedy for inflamed pimples:

The ingredients that work wonders!

• Baking soda (gram/chickpea flour will do, but I think baking soda has a more microdermabrasion effect)
• Fresh orange juice

You just need one thin slice of orange

Add baking soda, until you can feel the sand-like texture in the orange juice. It's NOT going to be a thick paste.

You may need a clean brush to apply this on your face. I pour the mixture on my palm, and place directly on my face, focusing the concentrated baking soda and orange juice on the inflamed pimples.

Leave the mixture on for about 15 minutes, or until you can't stand the stingy sensation (for people with sensitive skin perhaps, I don't have the issue, except feeling the tingling sensation on the pimples LOL).

On the first use, the big-red-about-to-explode pimple on my forehead was flattened!!! Though you can still see the red patch but that is all!
I had this mega monstrous pimple on my lower chin, the size was significantly reduced!

For people with sensitive skin, it might give you a red face after the treatment. I don't have that except on the acne areas.
Here are some other remedies that I've tried and effective as well, particularly cinnamon with honey, tomato juice, organic oatfour with honey or yogurt, and ground cloves with yogurt.

Chick pea flour home remedy for face

I initially bought chick pea flour for experimenting new food recipe as I explore making vegan meals (chick pea flour is a substitute for eggs, other than flaxseed gel). However when I come across its use as beauty mask/cleanser/exfoliator, I can't wait to try it out.

I bought this from Giant supermarket in Malaysia, though I wish to buy one from Indian grocery (for the sake of authenticity), but I guess I can just try the supermarket product. It cost RM2 for 500g, pretty cheap!

So this is a popular Indian home remedy for beauty care, that works for skin whitening, reducing pore size, and overall improving face skin, sworn by Bollywood actresses.

I don't want the skin whitening effect because I don't want to look pale, but I have these freaking freckles resulting from driving to work and back, though I always have sunblock applied on my face :(
And also, the pore-size reducing effect is what I always wanted but any products that I used claiming to do the work never give me any improvements but my pores keep on enlarging over the years as I age T_T

So this is the recipe that I use, adapted from Indian Girl:

Ingredients from top to bottom: organic honey, low fat natural yogurt with ive and active cultures, and chickpea flour.

For whole face:

• 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour (I added more to reach the thickness that I want, so in the end it's 2 tbs I think)
• 1 teaspoon of milk or honey if prefer a thicker consistency
• 1 tablespoon of natural unsweetened yoghurt

After some experiments, you will eventually know how much you need for your whole face or only targeted problem areas. The picture above and below are the amount for cheeks and lower chin areas only.

After mixing everything together.

It's very important to use unsweetened products on your face because refined sugar/manufactured sweetener is the culprit to acne/pimples :(

I apply the mask on my face after cleanse my face with my favourite face wash, and then proceed to make meal and wash cloths (I love multitasking!). I don't know how long I left it on, may be about 15 minutes, and I only intend to wash it off when the mask starts to dry up. You can feel the tingling sensation and I don't want the drying up process creating wrinkles on my face. So I wet my hands and gently scrub around my nose, forehead, cheeks, and lower chin (acne prone/large pore areas) and then rinse them off.

The verdict? OMFG it's been years I have a minimal pore-looking face! The brightening effect and the pore-minimizing effect actually reveal my face with more freckles that I didn't notice... but the minimized pore does feel great! So now I know where to target the freckles... oh brown spots please stop multiplying LOL.

Chick pea flour is my new love now
