What are some natural remedies to improve the appearance of your skin?

Answer 1

for acne and oily skin
wash face with warm water and them use towel with hot water and let the steam go onto your face. and then splash with cold water. do not over work your skin your face should not be squeaky clean.

for blotchy skin.
wash face with cold water, gently rub your skin. and try not to wear makeup. lemon and lime juice helps but only on your cheeks.

for dry skin.
don't wash your face too much. use a gentle creamy cleanser like Chanel de machiant du lait (cleanser with milk) something cheaper would be olay. make sure you put on good moisturizer everynight

for wrinkles.
gently rub your skin everynight in an upwards motion. wrinkles usually comes from gravity that has been pulling at your skin for so long. use cetaphil. and lancome age defying.

for just simply healthier skin,

occasionally use a rough cleanser with beads, or rice. like neutragena, or modern friction by origins.
go to sleep with a bit of canola oil, DONT put on forehead.
use a self warming clay mask. and DON'T WEAR ALOT OF MAKEUP

Desert Essence Blemish Stick = Best spot treatment. It has tea tree oil & works wonders.

Milk of Magnesia mask - apply in thin layer where needed & allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil & tighten pores.

You can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Or mix half a teaspoon of crushed uncoated aspirin tablets with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel to use as a mask. Apply a thin layer to your face & let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.

Yogurt Mask Recipe
1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 2 tbsp. honey & a bit of ground oatmeal. Apply a layer & leave it on for 10 mins. Rinse off w/ tepid water.

Yogurt - loosens dead skin cells
Honey - humectant w/ anti-bacterial properties
Oatmeal - optional; soothes & helps remove dry skin

Answer 3

I like trying this while taking my bath, mix 1/4 cup of table salt and just enough vegetable oil to moisten it mixed in it. Scrub vigorously where ever needed. You can use this all over your body and face no more than once a month. After this follow with a moisterizing night cream for your face or moisterizing body cream. This gets rid of dead skin and makes it smooth. You don't have to do this amount. You can easily do more or less.

Answer 4

Not wearing face makeup. There are several brands of makeup that claim to "improve the look of your skin". But, it's all nonsense. Washing my face every night with a salicylic foam wash, and using Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.

Answer 5

Take the supplement Evening Primrose Oil. Found at Gnc, Puritans Pride catalog are good quality places to get good quality supplements. Helps with other things as well but leaves your skin very soft and supple.

Answer 7

For acne-prone skin, you can smear egg yolks on your face. The egg yolks harden in a few minutes and then you can wash them off. In the morning your face will look better! I hope this helps! :)
