Garlic can smell a little bad, but it's a great way to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. Use a garlic press to crush up a couple of cloves of fresh garlic. Then take the crushed garlic and put it on the acne areas of your face. Make sure to avoid any areas around your eyes and any other sensitive areas. If you have any irritated spots, it will cause the garlic to sting a bit on your skin. After five minutes, make sure you rinse your skin meticulously and use a cloth to pat your skin dry.

Using a green clay mask will help to close up your pores, and get rid of the excess oil that makes your skin appear greasy. Once the mask dries up, you should make sure to rinse your skin completely and then gently dry your face. Witch hazel or a similar astringent will take care of any leftover residue.

Stress is a major factor that affects your skin. Among other things, stress disrupts our bodily functions. Skin is not immune from issues arising from stress. To increase the healthiness of your skin, you should find ways to reduce your stress level.

These are only a couple ideas to use for your skin care regimen. Pick one day to do a facial mask and a garlic treatment and combine this with twice-daily face washing for brighter, healthier skin.
