Question

Is sugar or sugar powder suitable as a skin cleanser?

Infant Prabha

Community Answer

Sugar can hydrate your skin and seal in moisture, but it's not good to use it as a cleanser, as the granules may tear your skin. Rather I would recommend you to use it to exfoliate by mixing it with honey and using it on your face twice a week.

Take a tablespoon of turmeric and enough lemon juice to make a paste. Apply it to your (clean) face, leave it on for 20-35 minutes, and then wash it off with warm water and a splash of cool water.

Question

How do I treat my oily skin as a teen?

Community Answer

Purchase products that are for oily skin. It will usually say on the packaging what type of skin they are for. Try different products and find something that works. You might need to use more than one thing. There are many different cleansers, scrubs, masks, creams and gels out there.

Can I use flour and yogurt to clean my face?

You don't really need to use flour. It is not good for your face or skin. Plain yogurt will do fine.

Question

For how much time should I keep the honey on my face?

Tanuj Kumar

Community Answer

You can remove it right after you feel like you've massaged it in enough. But if you have acne or acne-prone skin, then leaving it on for 5-10 minutes is a better option.

Question

Is using turmeric daily good for my face?

Community Answer

Using turmeric daily might not be a good idea. Turmeric can stain your face if you use it too much. Try using it every 2-3 days instead.

Question

Will lemon juice mixed with sugar help with acne on my oily skin?

Community Answer

It would irritate your skin, and in the long run make matters worse. Try adding honey to the lemon juice and sugar to exfoliate (not to be used more than 3x per week). Exfoliation is good for removing dead skin cells and bacteria that cause acne and excess oil. Lemon works as an astringent and is good for reducing and preventing oiliness. Honey has antibacterial properties that are good for treating acne, and the sugar is useful for gentle exfoliating and for locking in moisture, which is key when using astringents. Just be sure to massage gently and exfoliate every other day to give your skin a break in between.

Question

How do I remove acne from my face naturally?

Vicki29

Community Answer

Unfortunately, you can't just remove acne right away, but you can use cleansers, face masks, scrubs, cleaners, or wipes to help it get better. Also, if you just want to prevent acne, all you have to do is wash your face with plain ild soap and water two times a day(when you wake up and before you go to bed).
