What
causes acne?
Human skin is porous, pores act as a cooling duct and a passage
for connecting various under skin glands. Follicles connect a pore and glands.
Glands produce a liquid called sebum. The sebum carries dead skin cells through
follicles to the skin surface. Pimple grows when these pores get blocked by
dirt hence sebum build-up under the skin. Further, it gets infected with
bacteria causing severe acne.

There are
various remedies and medical treatments for acne. But we are going to see home
remedies for skin problems with the help of alum.
5 uses of
Alum for skincare and beautification.
1) Alum for pimple
Aluminum sulfate particles attract other dirt particles and oil
hence making the affected area dry. This results in the removal of dry skin.
You can do this by making a mixture of alum powder and water. Apply the mixture
for 10 mins. A 10 days long usage reduces the marks and pimples completely.
2) Slow down facial hair growth
Alum powder mixed with rose water with a ratio of alum powder
and rose water is 1:2 approx. apply this mixture regularly on the area of
facial hair and upper lip hair for 10 mins, this will slow down the facial hair
growth.
Note: use a moisturizer after the process.
3) Dark underarms
Dark underarms are caused by various reasons. The most common
reason is sweat and germs. Alum powder directly can be applied to get rid of
dark underarms.
Note: Daily use is not suggested.
4) Dandruff
Alum powder added with a small amount of salt with a shampoo
wash can reduce dandruff and scalp irritation problems.
5) Cracked heels
