ZINC OXIDE AND CALAMINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

If you have known me for a long time, you will know that I am constantly trying or looking for remedies for acne without going to see the dermatologist. Although my acne is currently under control, sometimes I still have one or two in a month or when I am under stress.

Of course I am envious of those who don’t need any hard work to maintain a good skin or when they tell you that they are only using a cleanser or just plain water on their face. Besides, some parents like mine would just tell me that drinking water and eat enough food is enough to have a flawless skin. Right!!!???????

If only all that is the source of problem, then those acne problems would have already disappeared when I was using nothing on my face but nothing happen to those acne too. It was staring straight at my face and I looked bad.

Anyway, this is one of the cheaper remedies that helps with healing the acne. Zinc oxide and calamine are ingredients that are both good to help with the acne condition. Acne sufferers are known to have low amount of zinc so putting zinc on the skin helps your skin.

There are many skincare products out there with these two ingredients in them but I would say that those products are more expensive than this.

I would suggest one to find liquid which is a lot pinkish than this. The darker colour of pink, the better because it means higher amount of calamine. I don’t have much choice here so I could only experiment with two varieties.

Many people rave about the magic of using zinc oxide and calamine in their skin care routine. I personally tried it and yes it does help to ease the skin problem. My acne size does shrink overnight and my face redness was reduced.  It doesn’t work with cystic or those underground tough acne though.

It is cooling to skin and work on sunburn skin which is good. It doesn’t clog the skin because there is bentonite(clay) in it. The problem of using calamine and zinc oxide is you could only use it at night when you don’t have to meet people. Your skin will be opaque white when you are using it and a splash of water is not going to remove it if you are planning to go out or someone turn up on your doorstep out of sudden.

So, overall it is one emergency kit that you should have. It works for skin allergy, for chicken pocks and also eases the redness of the skin because of acne. I heard that it works wonderfully to help shrink the acne overnight to many.
