Herbs for the Skin

Posted in Herbs

Seems I am breaking out more now that I'm in my mid-30's than I did when I was a teen! I've been on the hunt for the best natural acne treatment but it just occurred to me - why don't I try to make my own concoction? (Or at least find someone who makes one and can give me some guidance!)

I know Burdock Root has anti bacterial properties and also helps in faster healing of wounds. Burdock Root is actually an essential ingredient of herbal cleansing formulas. Anyone use it to make a skin cleansing formula?

I wash my face with a honey-sugar scrub that I mix while in the shower and follow it with witch hazel for a clarifier afterwards. Then I put on my facial lotion and ta-da! It really helps me keep the break-outs to a minimum. Witch hazel is just so amazing, I can't imagine anyone not having it at the house. I used it in my teens for break-outs too and it's just wonderful.

I have to be very careful with what I use because I have sensitive skin. I find that the Yes to Carrots organic face scrubs helps me, and I work in sweating heat in a kitchen all day.
