Acne/Breaking out & Something for Dry Skin

[Guest guest]

The previous post regarding the oil may not be as useful once I re-read the

original post. Oatmeal is a very popular and exceptional nautral cleaner. It is

very mild and soothing and is good for sensitive skin.

Oatmeal Facial Cleaning Formula

1/2 cup oatmeal

1 cup pure water

1 teaspoon glycerin

1-2 drops benzoin

 

Combine all ingredient in a food processor or blender. Puree into a creamy

smooth paste. store in tupperware or plastic container

apply a small amount to the face, gently scrubbing in circular motions over

the cheeks, forehead and nose. Make sure to reach all the way to the hairline.

Rinse well and pat dry.

 

Or a simpler facial cleansing formula

 

3 grain facial

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup wheat germ

Stir all ingredients and store in airtight container. When ready to use

combine two teaspoons of the formula with just enogh water to make a paste and

follow above instructions.

I'm so upset bc I always had clear skin & now I have blemishes on my

forehead, cheeks & on my chin.

I realize I have to stop using the chemicals which that is in the

works. What can I do that is more natural to help clear up the

acne ? I dont want to use the stuff from the store that will just

dry my skin out & then I will be struggling for weeks to get the dry

skin back to being soft & supple !! I'm so desperate right now & I

don't want to cake make up on my face to " cover up " .

 

Hi Dawn - I hear your frustration! Couple things to share with you. I don't

know how old you are but I'm in my early 40's and never ever had acne and now

have small traces of it. They say it's old age, hormones and the like. But

whatever the case I didn't want them. I did invest in buying some of those

more expensive facial cleansers, and they work. I use Bliss brand.

www.blissworld.com or you can buy it at a Sephora store (don't know what state

you're

in). Their products work wonders for me (I use the cleansing milks and steep

cleans lines) in terms of clearing up the face and not drying it out. There is

also a moisturizer by Kinerase that is just awesome at moisturizing the face

and never ever leaves your face sticky, oily, or the like. I fell in love with

it. www.Kinerase.com (I also use their facial cleanser as well). All these

brand names have products that are very safe for you skin. I have sensitive

skin too. I really encourage you to give them a try or at least read their

history and ingredients.

 

Good luck!
