origins are known to be one of the best organic products however its got a price on their products. ive read the reviews and they all seem to be good.
I use clearasil daily wash followed by Biore warming blackhead clearing scrub followed by superdrugs brand of tea tree foaming face wash finished with tea tree toner i finish off with the Simple oil balancing moisturizer.
If you want to go completely organic, try using these recipes and tools that will save you money and won’t ever irritate your skin:
1. Olive oil- Great for moisturizing and smoothing skin. Try applying olive oil a clean, dry face and leaving it on for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse it off with warm water and pat your face dry. You could do this every day if you wanted, because it won’t over-grease your face.
2. Lemon- This is the number one enemy of blackheads. If you cut a lemon in half and rub it all over your face, concentrating on the areas with blackheads, they will be gone in a matter of seconds. Be careful not to leave it on for more than 30 seconds and not to pair with acne medication [products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which you shouldn't use anyway because it will only dry out your skin more].
3. Sea salt- Sea salt makes a great exfoliator. Just don’t rub too hard, because it’s really rough.
4. Mint, Banana, Honey- Take a handful of mint leaves and crush them into a paste, then mic in a half of a banana, a squirt of honey, and an egg white. Mash it all together and apply it to a clean, dry face. Then leave it on until it dries and rinse it off with lukewarm water. You will see within a few hours that your blemishes are less red and inflamed and your face feels refreshed.
5. Rice water- Rice water makes a terrific toner. You’ll need some boiling water, a cup of uncooked [ORGANIC] rice, and an empty container with a lid [a small spray bottle would work, too]. Pour the rice into a bowl and pour the water over the rice until the rice is covered and there is about an inch of water above the rice. Stir this mixture until the water turns cloudy, and then strain the water into the empty container and you’re done! You now have a gentle toner that actually does the job, even though it doesn’t sound as if it would.
Some other things that are good for your skin are oatmeal, honey, cucumber, and almond oil.
***Warning: When using vegetables, fruits, and grains on your skin, it is important to use all organic produce, as pesticides may harm your skin.
Good luck!!!!
You want to work on your skin from the inside out. Strange concept – I know, and you won’t get over night results – but in the long run, you’ll be better for it.
Drink a Dixie cup (1-2 oz) of Aloe juice a day. Think of what Aloe does when applied topically for sunburn, so just imagine what it can do when taken orally. Don’t worry, it comes in flavors! It basically tastes like a sugar free fruit juice!!
Also think about your diet and if you’re taking any supplements. You should think about taking something with a power anti-oxidant as well as something that has Vitamin C & E in it.
I hope that helps!!
THIS IS MY LONG ANSWER FOR ALL OILY SKIN/ACNE PROBS…TRYING TO COVER ALL I KNOW ABOUT ACNE/SPOT PROBLEMS FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE…SO HOPEFULLY THERE’LL BE SOMETHING HERE TO HELP!!! SOME MIGHT NOT BE RELEVANT DEPENDING ON YOUR SEX BUT I HOPE SOMETHING’LL BE HERE FOR YOU!
I’m 35 and I still get spots/pimple clusters from time to time and even when they go, they leave reddish marks for ages and my skin looks blotchy.
I use clean and clear or neutrogena clear skin – both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. And crazy as it sounds – the toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn’t make a mess. I dunno how it works but it does!
Any female with spots I’d recommend trying dianette or yasmin contraceptive pills because if it’s hormonal, that can sort out the kind of hormonal pimples you might get monthly!
Be careful what products you use in your hair if it’s long – certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times.
Also I’d recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex and Omega 369 oils every day because that ensures you’re getting the right nutrition and also, the omega oils improve blood flow.
It’s an ‘old wives tale’ type rememdy – but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too…kinda like honey and lemon X
Also…keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!
Another suggestion is the scrub you can get called ‘resurface’ or something like that – made by L’oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture – smoothes it back out. It comes with it’s own moisturiser which I don’t use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.
Don’t use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil…just exaccerbating the problem.
And my final suggestion is ‘sheer cover’ mineral foundation. You see it on infomercials a lot…tacky I know! But it really works. You can buy it on eBay too so it’s easy for you to get some to try it out. You use the tiniest amount but because it doesn’t settle into enlarged pores and it contains minerals that reflect light, it disguises any kind of ‘scarring’ and also it stops you getting spots because it doesn’t block pores. The minerals in it reflect light a bit too which acts as a kind of concealer. It’s hard to explain but it’s fantastic. Just make sure not to use too much – and apply with a kabuki brush starting from the outside and working in so you don’t end up with an over made up nose!
I know people say make up’s a no no – but because this doesn’t block pores and has the added effect of stopping you touching your face too much, I think it’s good. You can wear it on its own too and as long as you apply it minimally, it covers but doesn’t look like you’ve got make up on.
Good luck with it hun XX
PS – if you can get them, clean & clear do these blotting paper things – in the uk I find I have to order them in from Hong Kong or somewhere cos they stopped doing them here – but they’re REALLY good.
And if your face gets really greasy, just blot with a tissue if you can’t find those. Some tissues are to fluffy so I tend to carry around a few sheets of kitchen roll for the purpose!!!
PPS – If you get your skin relatively under control, try using ’21 days Fade Cream’ (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. I can only use it once a day though because otherwise (even though it’s a ‘cream-gel’) it can make my skin a bit greasy again so I tend to use that at night but only during periods that my skin’s doing ‘good’!
I love Olay products. They’re non-comodogenic (don’t cause pimples and don’t clog pores) and they really help your skin to have that healthy glow. I’m a fan of Olay Definity and Olay Total Effects. If you want a cleanser, you could also try the Olay Moisture Balancing Foaming Face Wash. It’s nice.
Good luck!
