Acne/Breaking out & Something for Dry Skin MOISTURIZING

[Guest guest]

Now that we have removed the sebum and dirt we must replenish the moisture

that helps keep it supple and vibrant. This will help sundue and balance the oil

production of the sebaceous glands.

 

Cornstarch facial moisturizing

4 Tbsp cornstarch

4 Tbsp glycerin

4 Tbsp rose water

1 cup pure water

 

Combine all ingrdients in a heat resistant bowl and bring to boil. (You can

microwave) After heating, let stand til cool, keep in a jar for storage.

 

OR

 

Honey Facial

 

2Tbsp Honey

24 drops almond oil

 

Combine ingredients in glass o ceramic bowl. Whip until completely mixed and

store in jar and store in refrigerator.

 

For all mixtures apply a tiny amount starting on each cheek massaging gently

in a circular motion up toward the hairline (not the hair). Use sparingly.

 

You may want to follow up with an oatmeal mask for dry skin.

 

1/2 cup cooked oatmeat

1/2 cup mashed bannana

1 tbsp honey

1 egg yolk

 

Combine all ingredients and whip into a paste. Apply, let dry 20 minutes

rinsing with tepid water. USE moisturizer AFTER masks if they are used.

 

Mask for normal skin

1/2 cup cooked oatmeat

1 Tbsp almond oil

1 egg

 

Mask for oily skin

1/2 cup cooked oatmeal

1/2 cup mashed apple

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 egg white

 

Use all the above in the same manner.

 

Hope this helps not only you, but all others wishing to avoid the chemicals.

For healing blemishes and softening skin

1 tbsp rosewater

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

 

Simply combine all in a jar or squeeze bottle. Shake until mixed before each

use. To keep formula from feeling sticky, store in refrigerator for five days.

If you don't want to wait, rinse your face with cool water.

 

Chamomile is good to relieve inflammation and works to assist in absorbing

moisture

 

3 chamomile tea bags ( 100% only)

2 sups pure water

1-2 drops tincture of benzoin

 

Boil water pour over tea bags in a heat resistant bowl. Allow to steep hours

until cool. remove tea bags add benzoin and store in jar or squeeze bottle.

 

for all apply with cotton balls in a circular motion and don't forget to get

close to hairline!!!

 

I will give moisturizing forula after this massage.

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!
