A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a skincare forum and a few users were talking about using diaper rash cream on their faces.   They were raving about the amazing effect it had on the skin.   Some of them also claimed that this cream heals acne and prevents breakouts. I was a little sceptical, to tell you the truth, so I decided to do a little research.  If it’s safe to use on babies skin, it is probably safe to use on your face, right?  As it turns out, the active ingredient in diaper rash cream is Zinc oxide !  (A few weeks ago I wrote about the benefits of Zinc oxide , in an earlier post.)  So, I decided to give it a try.  I went to the nearest pharmacy and I chose a Zinc and Castor oil ointment.  Castor oil provides a soothing and moisturising effect on the skin.  Its antioxidant properties help to cleanse the skin and remove toxins.  When used regularly, Castor oil helps flush out oil glands and may help alleviate adult acne.

Hello everyone! In this post, I will talk about Calamine lotion and how it can be used as an overnight acne treatment . Calamine lotion is a mild astringent and antiseptic.  It relieves the symptoms of mild sunburn and is commonly used for minor skin irritations (itching, pain, and discomfort).  It works by soothing and protecting the skin. The active ingredient in Calamine lotion is Zinc oxide . Topical Zinc oxide is used to treat diaper rash, minor burns, severely chapped skin, or other minor skin irritations.  Zinc is a natural astringent that helps tighten the skin, therefore, reducing the appearance of large pores.  Astringents help dry the skin and reduce inflammation.  Zinc can also help reduce the irritation and itchiness attributed to acne.  Zinc also controls the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands. Zinc oxide naturally protects the skin from sun damage.  So, when purchasing sunscreen for your face, make sure the ingredients include zinc oxide. Applic
