Health and Beauty Tips: Home Treatments for Facial Blemishes and Facial Puffiness

Facial Blemishes and facial puffiness are common facial ailments in both men and women. Men and women spend hundreds of dollars each year on over the counter and prescription drugs and other medical treatments to cure and prevent facial blemishes and facial puffiness. Many men and women don't realize that getting rid of facial blemishes and facial puffiness does not need to be such a costly and time consuming affair. There are many items which we use around the house that work just as well, and in some cases, better than more expensive over the counter or prescription drugs and other treatments to treat and prevent common facial blemishes.

One of the most unknown, yet most effective items that can be used to get rid of facial puffiness, especially puffiness under the eyes and on your cheeks is potato juice from Irish potatoes. Using your home juicer, extract the juice from the potato. Using a cotton ball, rub the juice from the potato under the eyes, around the eyelids, and on your cheeks. You will notice immediately that facial puffiness is greatly reduced.

One of the leading causes of facial puffiness and other facial blemishes is clogged pores. One of the most effective home remedies for unclogging the pores on the face is steam. In order to effectively open your pores with a good steam cleaning, fill a tea kettle with water. Boil the water on the stove. Be careful not to get too close to the steam or you will burn your face. A good rule of thumb here is to lean in about six inches away from the steam. The vaporization from the steam will reach your face enough to effectively unclog your pores and get rid of unsightly facial blemishes and puffiness.
