Hey! Looking for some advice please- Iv decided to try some homely remedies as I have had no luck with creams and tablets from the Gp- in currently using crushed aspirin and honey on my face twice a day- I'm keeping a log but it doesn't seem to be making any differences!
could anyone advise me on other 'alternative medicines
Hi maz104uk,
If you can get your hands on these ingredients, some herbs of choice would include:
-Calendula as an ointment or even an ingredient in your cleanser/moisturiser (very gentle and soothing and has anti-inflammatory properties)
- Chamomile (works in a similar way to calendula - you can make a tea from the flowers and use as a facial mist)
- Tea tree oil as mentioned above, but be careful not too use too much as those with sensitive skin can react
- Honey, ensuring it is raw and preferrably organic
- Something to help draw out bacteria and waste products from the skin, such as activated charcoal, bentonite clay, castor oil or even organic sesame oil (works great to remove makeup too, and it won't clog your pores.)
