Does this sound like a good homemade treatment for acne-prone skin?

I don't know the proper ratios yet, but this is my idea... What do you think of it?





Aloe Vera gel


Tea Tree oil


apple cider vinegar or rosewater (which one is better?)


an aspirin tabletDoes this sound like a good homemade treatment for acne-prone skin?
You are on the right track here. The tea tree oil, vinager/rosewater, and asprin have all been shown to improve and clarify skin. I think these three are great!





BUT...Aloe Vera gel can clog pores and make things worse. I learned this from personal experience.





If you have no reaction to aloe vera gel then you should go for it :) Sounds good!





Just start out with small amounts and work up :)Does this sound like a good homemade treatment for acne-prone skin?
no. you're not a scientist.... get something that is already made.





*edit*


do not fool around with making these products yourself. you most likely don't understand the chemistry of the things you're mixing together and how they react when mixed, and what they can do to your skin. you'll waste a lot more money if you have to go to the doctor for causing yourself an infection, lesions, burns, or worse.
Aloe Vera and Tea Tree oil = oily skin. What causes acne? Oil + clogged pores.


Vinegar = dry skin


Aspirin = Zero results





You would do well to go to the pharmacy and buy a good acne treatment and forget your ';witches brew.';
not rlly


but idk


give it a try :D
