Give the garlic a few minutes to work its way into the skin. Next, you should rinse with clear water and pat your skin dry.

A clay mask made of natural green clay is effective for tightening pores. It absorbs the excess oil that is on your skin. Take the time to let the mask dry completely.

The final step is to saturate a cotton pad with some witch hazel and gently remove the remnants of the mask, revealing your clarified and refreshed facial skin.

Stress negatively affects your entire body, even your skin. It will inhibit your bodies natural infection fighters. You need to either reduce or manage your stress in order to keep your skin healthy and clear.

These suggestions are a great way to start getting clearer skin. Make sure you create a daily plan designed to keep your skin fresh and healthy. A weekly garlic treatment and clay mask can, when combined with twice-daily washing, make your complexion bright and clear.
