natural ways to keep skin from being oily(pimples)?!


Question: Natural ways to keep skin from being oily(pimples)?
Answers:

Here are some of the ayurvedic ways and home remedies to treat your body to reduce oil secretion and make it look good longer:
a) Crab apple- Make a paste. Apply all over the face and neck. Leave for 20 minutes. Wash with lukewarm water. It is a rich source of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) which tone, soften and moisturize dull oily skin.
b) Sandalwood powder- Add a few drops of water to half a tablespoon of the powder. Apply the paste all over the face, neck (in upward and outward direction) and hands. Avoid eye area. Let dry. Wash with tepid water. This reduces wrinkles and fine lines while fighting acne and blemishes.
c) Lemon juice, flour, turmeric powder- Make a paste. (Use all purpose flour) Plain yogurt can be used in place of lemon juice. Apply all over the face except the eye area. Let dry. Rinse. The acids in the lemon juice treat dark spots on the face clearing the complexion. Turmeric brightens the look. (Lemon juice might cause a tingling sensation). Feel the fresh and oil-free skin afterwards.
d) Wheat germ oil- Massage your face with the oil. Leave it on for 1 hour before washing with tepid water. Natural vitamin E, a powerful anti-oxidant, in this oil prevents skin damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollution. It is great for softening the skin.
e) Milk- It is particularly necessary for individuals with oily skin to keep their skin clear otherwise it has a tendency to form acne lesions making the skin patchy, discolored and rough. Presence of oil makes the skin sticky thus attracting dirt from the environment clogging the pores. Clogged pores mean increased oil secretion.
Milk is an excellent oil free cleanser and it doesn’t dry out the skin. Oily skin has open and enlarged pores. Wash your face several times throughout the day with milk so that the pores are not clogged with sebum/oil. It is very important to wash your face before you go to bed at night. Make-up residues can be the worst enemies of the skin. Mix 2-3 drops of sandalwood or lavender oil with 2 tablespoon of milk and massage gently all over the face cleaning up the dirt, grime and makeup. Pay special attention to the eye area. Do not stretch or over-pull the delicate skin around the eyes while removing eye make-up. Gentle massage improves blood circulation and gives your face a healthy glow. If you have broken skin, avoid stretching in that area to prevent spread of infection.
e) Honey- Moisturizing the skin is essential as we quickly lose the skin’s natural moistures making it rough and irritated. Dry skin needs a lot of moisturizing but oily skin needs moisturizing too. A skin that is regularly moisturized has fewer fine lines, a smooth texture, less surface flaking and radiates a healthy glow.
Honey is an excellent natural moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of honey all over the face. Wash it off with tepid water after 15 minutes.
Avoid moisturizing in humid weather. Judge the amount of oil in your skin and moisturize accordingly.
f) Rice powder and corn flour- It is absolutely necessary to exfoliate with a gentle scrub about 3-4 times per week to balance the skin’s moisture. Rice powder is an excellent natural exfoliating agent. It gives the over-stressed oily skin a new vitality and a healthy radiance.
Make a paste with 1 tablespoon rice powder, 1 tablespoon corn flour and a few drops of lemon juice. Add water if necessary. Apply all over the face and gently massage in upward and outward direction in a circular motion. The rice powder removes the dead cells that accumulate in the upper layer of the skin thus cleaning up the pores. The sharp, citrus smell of the lemon refreshes and stimulates the nerves while the chemicals in the juice has a bleaching property that treats dark spots left by the various outbreaks of the oily skin.
g) Potato and cucumber slices- Close your eyes and put 2 slices on top of the eyelids. The natural juices remove dark circles around the eyes.
h) Almond meal and lemon rind- Make a facial scrub with 2 tablespoon almond meal, 1 tablespoon ground lemon rind and 3-4 tablespoon milk. Gently scrub your face and get rid of the excess oil.
i) Rose petals, chamomile and geranium oils- Throw some rose petals in your tub and add 3-4 drops of chamomile oil and 1 drop of geranium oil. Soak your body in the sweet aroma. The chemicals in the petals and the oils act as a classic toner for oily skin.

First thing first, don't use any skin care that strips the oils and drys the skin. Contrary to popular belief, these products cause the production of more oil and will break down the acid mantle of the skin (protection) while throwing off the pH (very important).

Acne, breakouts, etc. have many causes. Most people just treat the skin believing that that's all that is needed. By doing so they purchase highly-expensive acne products that are essentially non-effective and may do more harm to the skin. If you are looking for a topical treatment, it's best to go to your local health food store and pick up 2 things --- that's all that you need, topically, of course. These would be an all-natural (preferably organic) essential oils blend cleanser and expeller-pressed virgin coconut oil for moisturizing. The CO is anti-bacterial, -fungal, and -viral, which takes care of the impurities that get trapped within the skin causing breakouts. Within weeks, you'll be surprised at the difference of not only having any breakouts, but you skin will be rejuvenated with all the skin nutrients that are contained in these 2 ingredients!!

You also need to clean up your diet. I know this sounds redundant, but the more fresh raw vegan food that you eat, the better off your skin will be. Adding "fresh" veggies and fruit juices for fluid intake will also add skin nutrients.

One must know that any disorders or conditions of the skin is a visual sign of imbalances within. A good all-natural herbal body cleanse will also help.



Oily skin? Pimple prone???? Lemon is your cure!!! Squeeze half a lemon in warm water and wash your face every morning.
Drink loads of fruit juices and eat healthy,
Finally, whenever you find your skin oily, wash it with a mild soap and warm water. Give a final rinse with cold water
