Acne and Skin Conditions

Acne, or the formation of pimples on the skin, is a condition that affects many people the world over. It can start in teen years, or even in middle age. While it appears all to prevalent today, it is not a modern problem.

Numerous recipes were created to cure "spots on the face," including wearing garlic around the neck and standing under a full moon. In Victorian times, corsets were blamed and later chocolate. The worst part of the sometimes-chronic disorder is the lack of reasoning behind why it occurs. We as a modern public have advanced capabilities including DNA testing, yet simple
Acne is not understood fully.
Up until the early 1990's, doctors were still casting blame on greasy foods, salt and chocolate as the main cause of breakouts. Parents blamed a child's cleansing habits. What has surfaced, however, is that the true culprits of Acne may differ greatly and many times lack explanation. Hormones, atmospheric conditions, allergies, over production of oil, the list goes on can be some of the contributing factors.
So too can vitamin and mineral deficiencies play a major role, such as in the case of zinc, which aids in the production of new skin tissue. Essential oils, however, can be a supplement to prescribed or daily skin treatments. Retin-A is a popular topical prescription. A derivative of vitamin A, it is basically free from side effects and works quite nicely.
It is costly however. Carrots, which contain a high amount of vitamin A have been traditionally cooked, mashed and applied to the face as a mask to help relieve the immense discomfort Acne can pose. To get an even heightened effect, oil or essential oil of carrot and carrot seed have be used. That Girl's Night Cream is a great moisturizer for all skin types because of the type of oils we use. There is misleading information about oil. Oils in moisturizers are helpful and oils in moisturizers are made usually for all skin types.
Acne Mask
1 carrot cooked and mashed 10 drops carrot essential oil 1 capsule vitamin A oil (optional) 1 teaspoon parsley Mash hot carrots and add other ingredients. Let cool slightly and apply to face, staying away from the eye area. Let dry and wash off with warm water.
Do no more than twice a week. Non-medicated soap is suggested for use twice a day. Why not add a few drops of carrot oil to liquid cleansing products? Healing lavender, green clay, emu oil or purifying tea tree also can work wonders. Try that girl's lavender and oatmeal soap.
The key is to find your specific type of Acne and pick oils that will best fight your battle.

Natural Beauty Tips



Here are some of my beauty tips of the month.

If you take some champagne and blend it with a little bit of sugar. Mix it in the palm of your hand and apply it with your fingers to your face.
This is a very natural, and one of the best, and most affective method for exfoliating.


Dark Chocolate is not only very good for your mood, but your well being, & health. But when applied as a mask it rewinds time just a bit. Mix the chocolate with a little bit of milk, it makes an excellent facial mask. Try it sometime!

Chocolate itself contains many good benefit the the body like antioxidants that can maintain heart health, lowers blood pressure. In terms of the human psyche, chocolate can cause feelings of relaxation and happiness, but it is also useful for chocolate beauty.

How can chocolate benefit for beauty?

For beauty, chocolate can help improve the beauty. Ingredients found in chocolate has many benefits for the skin, for example, serves to maintain softness, moisturize, tighten and refine the skin. Antioxidants can help slow the aging process by preventing or diminishing wrinkles on the face. Most of the help comes from preventing damage and repairing skin of damage.

Making chocolate facial mask can be done at home. For you who want to try using chocolate for your face, can try the following ways:

* Material:
Dark chocolate (high cocoa content), white powdered milk (full cream), honey, salt

* Ways:
1. Melt chocolate
2. Mix all ingredients in chocolate that has melted and stir well
3. Refrigerate until it reaches room temperature
4. Apply on face for 15-30 minutes

(Optional) Milk and honey can also be replaced with butter, green tea and sugar if you want to provide moisture and antiseptic effect on the face.

For the skin, you can make chocolate soap. How to brew white milk chocolate blended with chopped chocolate until melted, then can be mixed with liquid soap or poured in a bathtub.

Not into chocolate? Another Alternative to chocolate mask are berries they have high content of antioxidants. Starting with Cranberries, Raspberries, Blueberries & Strawberries.

Berry Facial Mask
Mix yogurt, honey and strawberries or any other fruit or berries for a great mask. It helps naturally shrink the pores, improve the look of the skin, helps lightening and even out skin tones. Apply to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes or as little or long as you desire. I would suggest no longer than 30 minutes.


Old methods for a natural mask are the following:


1) 1 egg, milk, lemon juice. (Apply the mask as above).

2) oatmeal, honey, and avocado. ( same as above).



I hope you will enjoy reading and using these skincare beauty tips.
I will change and update this blog. Thanks.
