Natural Skincare:
- Half an hour before taking your bath apply on your face half teaspoon each of lime and cucumber juice mixed together.
- To prevent the problem of your makeup becoming patchy either on the forehead, chin or nose due to excessive oiliness in these areas, apply a little cucumber juice on the excessively oily parts of your face, dry thoroughly and then apply your makeup
- If your whole face turns patchy after makeup is applied on it, then apply equal parts of lime juice and witch-hazel. Dry well before putting on your makeup.
- To clear away excess oil, use a clay or mud mask. Blend together well 1 teaspoon green clay powder and 1 teaspoon raw honey. Apply the mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water. Do this at least three times a week--or more.
- Once or twice daily, mix equal parts of lemon juice and water together. Pat mixture on your face and allow it to dry, then rinse with warm water. Follow with a cool-water rinse.
- Take a diet rich in proteins but restricted in sugar, fluids and salt.
- Take plenty of leafy green vegetables and fresh fruits.
- Even a slight deficiency in vitamin B2 can cause oily skin. Nutritional yeast, wheat germ and organ meats provide both vitamin B5 and vitamin B2.
- Other good sources of vitamin B2 are whole grains, beans, nuts, and royal jelly. Buckwheat, black beans and whole rice are excellent to supply the body with iron and rejuvenate pate skin.
- Drink plenty of quality water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
Reduce the amount of fat in your diet. - Avoid pork and fried and highly seasoned foods. Consume no animal fats, or heat-processed vegetable oils.
- Do not cook with oil. Do not eat any oils that have been subjected to heat, whether in processing or cooking. If a little oil is necessary, such as in salad dressing, use cold-pressed canola or olive oil only.
- Do not drink soft drinks or alcoholic beverages. Avoid sugar, chocolate, and junk food.
