Blackhead/Acne or pimple soap recipe needed

[Deola]

My kid sister has pimple/blackhead, please whoever knows a soap recipe that is really good for this can share. It will be highly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

You may want to go to the introduction forum and introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself. How long you have been making soap etc.

Also, many will not be overly eager to share their recipes as we have worked long and hard on our recipes and kind of guard our secrets. However, if you scroll to the bottom of this post, you will see other topics related to your question you may find helpful.

Do you have a recipe in mind? If so, post it and we would be more than happy to help you with suggestions. There are many reasons and things that cause acne/blackheads and what works for one person may not work for another. It takes a lot of trial and error to find what works best from one to another. I know from experience what works for me may not work for your sister.

There is a lot of awesome information and people on this forum always willing to help.:smile:

Usually keeping the face clean and not to use pore blocking creams, and regular washing at least once a week with very soft brush, helps. Removing dead skin also help so facial scrub. For acne charcoal soap helps,
It is kind of strange you come here, and first post is asking for recepie :-(

I have two teens ( need I say more) I make them a liquid soap ( you can find some basic recipes in the liquid soap forum) and I add tea tree oil to the paste. I dilute it to the consistency of shampoo or a little runnier. I put this in a jar with about 20 little cotton rounds then add more soap to cover.

They use this to clean their face whenever they have breakouts.

To clarify, I add tea tree oil to the paste and then dilute with water to the consistency of shampoo. . .

Pine tar soap has proven to be good for that. You can do a search on this forum and find info.

I would also recommend Tea Tree Essential Oil for this issue!

I'm so sorry I came in without introducing myself first.

Tea tree essential oil and lemongrass essential oils are good! I've heard very good results from a 100% lard bar washed twice a day (morning and night). Hope you find what you're looking for! Good luck!

I use a salt bar on my face. 75% salt, 80% coconut oil, 15% avocado or olive, 5% castor and 20% superfat. Soaking the essential oils in salt overnig really helps to anchor the scent.

Thanks everyone

I really like this from Cathy Miller's page:

You may be able to get small quantities of herbs from a local health food store.

It is also very helpful to alternate - I alternate between three bars. A salt bar, this bar (or store-bought sulfur bar) and a regular bar.

A 175% bar? You really do give it your all!

I don't know if that was serious or a joke........

You don't count the amount of salt into your recipe when entering it into soapcalc. The salt is an addition not part of the recipe. HTH in case you were serious.

I was just joking.

My English sense of humor!

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Regardless, quoting a 5 month old post in an inactive thread is the comedy equivalent of explaining the joke - takes away all the humour and is just poor form.

I feel that's a bit harsh. Ferris wheel is only new. We have all accidentally commented on an old post without realising at some point in time. I know I have!

True, many people do it - and the modmins point out that bringing up old threads unnecessarily is not considered good form here

 

[Saponista]

As I said, it's happened to me before. I just felt your wording was a little harsh.
