To make your own herbal liquid soap, cut the soap bar into small chunks, and put in a pump bottle. Fill the pump bottle with sterile 0.9% normal saline solution, and let set until completely dissolved. Use daily for a healthy glowing skin.
2. Hydrate your skin with homemade face mask
A hydrating face mask can give you a bright, glowing skin instantly. For homemade hydrating face mask, soak a compressed facial sheet with sterile 0.9% normal saline solution, and add herb powder, yogurt, and fruit of choice. Unfold the sheet mask and apply to your face.
3. Clear your skin with home remedies
Everyone wishes for a clear skin, but with all the pollutants you encounter on a daily basis, it’s almost impossible to prevent new breakouts. One of the ways to keep your skin clear, is keeping your skin clean. Sterile 0.9% normal saline solution is an over-the-counter (OTC) product which can clean and rinse any part of the body. It is used as a facial cleanser to clean the affected area after acne therapy. It can be used before applying acne cream. Ice pack can also be applied to the affected area for 5 minutes to help reduce redness and inflammation.
4. For sensitive skin
