How To Treat Facial Acne With Potash by face9jajobs(m): 8:07pm On Oct 28, 2012 |
Acne vulgaris, also known simply as acne or pimples, is not just a teenager's condition. Acne affects 1/4 of adult men and 1/2 of adult women in the United States. Many prescription and over-the-counter medicine options are available for the treatment of acne. However, many people turn to homeopathic remedies for relief. Although technically an outdated solution, potash is an option for home treatment of facial acne. A natural concoction made from tree ashes and salt, potash is known for its moisture- retaining and bacteria-fighting properties. Things You'll Need: Coarse washcloth Cold cream Fluid potash 1 oz. rose water 1 oz. oil of sweet almonds 8- to 12-oz. glass or plastic bottle with lid Instructions: 1. Wash your face with lukewarm water and a coarse washcloth to remove excess dirt and oil. Rub your skin vigorously with the cloth to exfoliate dead skin cells, but be careful not to irritate the skin. If pain or severe redness occurs, use less pressure or a softer cloth. 2. Apply a quarter-size amount of cold cream to your face and let it absorb for 1 minute. Be careful not to get any in your eyes. 3. Mix 1 drop of fluid potash with 1 oz. of oil from sweet almonds. Shake the mixture well in an 8- to 12-oz. glass or plastic bottle with a secure lid. 4. Add 1 oz. of rose water and 6 oz. of pure or distilled water to your lotion mixture and shake well until all ingredients are combined. 5. Apply the mixture to your face liberally and allow it to absorb completely. Repeat twice daily. Tips & Warnings Test your lotion mixture on a small area of your face that is not readily visible, such as the ridge under your chin at your jaw line. If irritation occurs, do not apply the lotion to your acne. Dilute the mixture with more rose water and re- test in a new area. Try kali bromatum (bromide of potash) for stubborn acne on the chest, shoulders and back. Mixed with cold cream or diluted with water, this substance is more effective on non-facial areas. Never apply potash lye directly to your face. This substance, known as potassium hydroxide (KOH), is sold at homeopathic stores, but is intended for soap making purposes only. It is a highly caustic substance that can severely burn your skin. If you get cold cream or lotion into your eyes, flush gently for 10 minutes with lukewarm water.

Treat your face very gently especially if your skin is sensitive or acne prone. NEVER use a 'Coarse' face towel on your face. If you must, use a baby soft one. When exfoliating, rub gently in circular motion. I personally would not advice the use of potash for acne because of its drying effect on the skin. There are more gentle yet effective natural products. If you have sensitive skin DO NOT USE POTASH. Check this link for some skin-pampering homemade acne treatments. http://organicsbymelvee..com/2012/10/homemade-acne-treatments.html#.UI_XOmc9wxg |
