Clean out your hair follicles

Many people use clay masks to draw out debris and toxins from hair follicles.  While this might seem logical, clay actually dries out skin, as do tee tree oil and witch hazel.  Skin requires oil to be healthy and strong.  Dry skin can result in the following:

• More wrinkles
• Dehydrated skin
• Cracks in skin which can allow for bacteria and other microbes to penetrate
• Increased risk of wounds and acne
• Increased risk of skin infection
• Increased natural oil production

If the skin dries out, those Sebaceous glands kick into overdrive with gusto and immediately begin producing more oil to moisten the skin to fight back with good oil, like throwing water on a fire.  Way to go, Sebaceous glands!  That oil is protecting your skin.

The answer is simple.  Use a drawing ointment that contains ZERO water, like Puremedy’s Black Drawing ointment, Acne relief ointment and Daily Face Cream for oily skin.  See below.  Overnight, the ingredients in each of these ointments drew out this embedded splinter all by itself, and deposited the debris onto the bandaid by morning.  One, two, three.  Voila!
