When choosing cosmetics, it is worth paying attention to these three ingredients, which help fight spots, blackheads, and discolouration. They are natural and have the power to effectively deal with even the most painful skin changes.

You might not have known this, but the products you can find in the kitchen are extremely effective in combating problematic skin. Sometimes, the best solutions are closer than we expect. Cosmetics enriched with natural ingredients offer numerous benefits. Firstly, they are affordable, safe, and effective.

Turmeric – effective in combating acne-prone skin

The yellow spice, mainly known in Indian cuisine, works wonders for acne-prone skin. Turmeric root is rich in B vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and zinc.

Thanks to this, turmeric not only effectively supports the healing of wounds and discolouration from spots but even prevents their formation. It also has anti-wrinkle properties. Don't let the scent of the yellow spice scare you – although it is distinctive, aromatic, and warming, the effects of using it are quickly visible and noticeable on the skin.

White willow extract – a game changer for problematic skin

When in the chemist, pay attention to gels and facial cleansers that contain white willow extract. This natural ingredient includes salicylic acid, among other things. It is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, reduces oiliness, and quickly eliminates blackheads. It also has exfoliating properties, making the skin noticeably smoother and free of post-acne discolouration.

Tamanu oil – will make your skin look much better

Haven't you heard of it before? It is oil pressed from the nuts of the tamanu tree. Antibacterial and antioxidant properties characterise the product. It perfectly handles acne changes, swelling, and psoriasis. Additionally, tamanu oil brightens skin discolourations and reduces the visibility of scars and stretch marks. Use regularly, in the evening, on cleansed and dried facial skin.
