Healing Pastes for Acne and Skin
Here are three pastes you can make at home and apply to your skin. They can be effective in reducing acne.
1. Mix 1 teaspoon of chickpea flour (available at Indian grocery stores and natural food stores) with enough water to make a paste, and wash your face with this mixture. Rinse off, then apply either of the fol?lowing:
2. Mix almond powder with a little water, and apply the paste to your face. Let it dry and remain on your skin for up to half an hour, then rinse it off. (You can easily make the almond powder yourself in a coffee or nut grinder.) This is an excellent home remedy for Acne.
3. A paste of sandalwood and turmeric powders mixed in goat's milk is healing for the skin. Take 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon sandalwood pow?der, mix them together, and add sufficient goat's milk to make a paste. Apply this mixture to your face. Note: Your face will look yellow for some time-up to 5 days-but this formula is quite effective in alleviating acne.
