Castor oil is an astringent skin cleanser that can be used to treat acne. Its antibacterial properties fight the harmful bacteria on the skin, and reduce inflammation caused by acne.

The pH of healthy skin is just under 5, or slightly acidic. Anything too low or high will cause skin problems. If your skin is thin and dry, it probably means that your skin is too alkaline.

Finally, as the seasons change, you’ll gain appreciation for warmer days. It’s the perfect chance to develop gratitude for nature.

This, in turn, brings down the excess oil in your body, giving you clear skin after three months of getting onto birth control. When you get off birth control, your skin reverts to its original condition within three months. Birth control pills are only a temporary fix for acne and don’t really address the underlying cause. Therefore, focus on cleaning up your diet and your lifestyle if you want a hassle-free transition from going off the pill, and to tackle your acne problem head on.
