The Natural Acid Mantel for Your Skin
A little old fashioned- but it works!
Did you know that the proper pH balance of your skin is important and it affects how your skin looks and feels? Proper pH really helps your skin to have balance. You may be thinking, how can I get that balance? Do I have to buy a lot of expensive products and if it is natural, what do I use?
You will need 4 ingredients - oil, soap, water, vinegar or lemon juice and 8 steps. That is all you will need to have pH balanced skin. Some people use toners after they wash there skin to balance there skin's pH, but you may want to try the oil, soap, water, and vinegar method in order to see a dramatic difference in your skin.
1. Fill your basin with hot water
2. Oil up - apply your favorite oil and massage it gently onto your skin (almond oil or olive oil are two good ones to try)
3. Soap up your face with a good facial soap
4. Rinse your face with hot water 10 times
5. Drain the water out
6. Fill up basin again with hot water
7. Pour a small amount of vinegar into the hot water
8. Rinse again. 10 times
Voila! You now have the perfect acid mantel for your skin. It is properly pH balanced.
You may apply your favorite moisturizer with this method, though you may not need any moisturizer at all. You see, oiling your face first, and then washing your face with the soap, will leave your skin more alkaline. Rinsing with the vinegar gives you a protective acid mantle on your skin. You need a balance.
If you do not want to rinse your face with vinegar and hot water, you can use lemon juice instead. Both solutions work just fine, because of their acidic qualities.
Your skin will be glowing! This treatment will also help with premature aging. Fine lines will be less noticeable and your pores will appear smaller. I really believe that Jesus Christ heals skin- 1 Peter 2:24. I also believe that He shows us what we can use on our skin to help us look our best.
If you have blemishes, I know that the protective acid mantel applied at least two times a day, will do wonders for your skin. Remember to oil up, soap up, vinegar up, and you're done!
You can find vinegar and lemon juice at most grocery stores and you can use any facial soap of your choice. Almond oil and olive oil can also be found at many health food stores. Wild oats, Trader Joe's, and eBay sell almond oil from $7.00 to $25.00 and Amazon sells almond oil from $5.42 to $56.00.
