Reasons Why You Should Use Plant Based Acne Cream

By Brenda Russell


Animal-based products are made with very harsh chemicals. Not to mention the cruelty involved in the production process. They leave the skin dry and flaky. One will experience an itch. The breakouts will keep recurring because the root was not really addressed. A plant based acne cream is a better more preferable option. These are kind and polite. They are natural and offer a more wholesome solution to breakouts.

Tea tree oil is one of the most common elements to use. It is native to Australia but has gained popularity in the world over. The oil combats breakouts by two efficient mechanisms. The element is a natural antiseptic and speeds the healing process. This is very potent and should be diluted before use as a topical. An oil base is best if one is making a topical at home.

This is a little out there but oatmeal makes for a great face mask. It can also be used in a homemade topical. For the face mask, just cook it as usual until it is a paste. One may even scoop up a little from the breakfast batch, no harm in it. Drop in some honey and/or olive oil then apply on the face generously. Let it sit for about twenty minutes then wash it off. It is an exfoliant and moisturizer all in one.

Cannabidiol has gained popularity over the years. One of the most common uses is as an ingredient in homemade topical and some store bought ones too. CBD requires an oil base for maximum benefit. Olive oil makes the perfect base as it does not clog pores. On its own, olive oil is cleansing and hydrating to the skin. It does not leave it feeling coated and blanketed.

Rose water sounds crazy. The effects are not made up or that crazy though. Just steep some roses in water then spray on the face as a mist. It may also be dabbed on with cotton wool. It is hydrating and cleansing. This would be a useful first step before cleansing the face.

There are two types of fat. Saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated is the kind that clogs pores making it close to impossible for the skin to breathe. This is how breakouts begin when the sin cannot breathe. Animal fat is unsaturated. Fats are still necessary but only if it is the saturated kind. Thankfully, vegetation is rich in this respect. They also contain antioxidant properties which are essential in ensuring oxidative stress is managed appropriately.

When a foreign party invades the body, the immune system reacts by triggering an inflammatory reaction. This reaction while necessary also causes redness and swelling. Phenols have anti-inflammatory properties that keep the swelling and redness at bay. Free radicals are neutralized and the skin is able to breathe a little bit.

Breakouts are brought about by germs and bacteria. These can revive worse skin issues that were previously mute. Vegan products carry properties that form a protective layer between the skin and whatever possible germs could be in the air.
