Natural therapy for problematic skin

We are all used to trying out different skin care products only to tackle our skin problems - wrinkles, dryness, acne, sensitivity...Women are never satisfied right? Instead of taking the chemical approach, we can actually utilize our natural resources which are cheaper and healthier.

Aging Skin

The thickened skin texture responds very well to mild, abrasive daily cleansing with beauty grains such as finely ground corn meal, ground sun flowers or almonds. Massage gently to cleanse and exfoliate.

Dry Skin

Blend together one ounce safflower oil, one ounce avocado oil and two ounces of sesame oil. Apply to your dry skin areas.

Itchy Skin

Try a compress made with skim milk or powdered milk or soak the affected area in a colloidal bath made with oatmeal, corn- starch or baking soda.

Oily Skin

Mash together the pulp of one garden ripe tomato and enough fuller's earth (can be found in pharmacies) to make a smooth paste. Rub it onto your skin (avoid eye area) and leave it on until it dries completely. Rinse with warm water, then splash your face with cold water. Towel dry.
