Oily Skin Remedies

2010-02-15T06:09:00.000-08:00

Oily skin tends to be more of a problem when we are younger as skin cells lose their ability to produce enough sebum as the skin ages. If you have oily skin you will have open pores, a tendency to pimples and blackheads and it may look shiny a few hours after washing. The good news is that oily skin has less of a tendency to develop lines and wrinkles than dry skin. Oily skin remedies are easy to make at home. We've found the best ones for you to try. After using any of these masks apply a little witch hazel.

2010-02-15T05:03:00.000-08:00

Dry skin occurs when the cells of the skin do not produce enough sebum. Older skin has a tendency to be dry as the cells lose their ability to produce enough sebum as they age. Dry skin looks dull and can result in fine lines and wrinkles developing. Home skin remedies can be useful in rehydrating the skin and are cheap and easy to make. We've gathered together some dry skin remedies that are effective as well as some tips on healthy eating to help alleviate the problem from within.

Honey Skin Remedy

Ingredients
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon ground almonds
warm water

Warm the honey in a double boiler or in a bowl placed in hot water. Once it has melted mix in the ground almonds and some warm water to give a smooth consistency. After cleansing the skin apply the warm mixture to the face and leave for about fifteen minutes then wash off with warm water.

Honey is healing and moisturising to the skin and also helps to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells.

Steam Treatment

Treat your dry skin with these nutrition tips

Eat foods rich in Omega 3 oils such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines. Other sources include walnuts, flaxseed, butternuts, pecans and hazel nuts.

Eat plenty of raw vegetables. green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and sweet potato leaves and yellow and orange fruits such as papayas, mangoes and yams are high in beta carotene and anti oxidants.

Apricots, carrots and cantaloupes are rich in Vitamins A and C which are important for a healthy, young looking skin.

Drink plenty of water. At least 8 - 10 glasses a day to keep the skin hydrated.

Avoid animal fats, fried food and cooked vegetable oils.

Avoid processed sugar and other junk food.

Avoid caffeine containing drinks and alcohol in excess.

Avoid smoking and second hand smoke. Nicotine constricts blood vessels including capillaries on the surface of the skin. This results in a depletion of nutrients and oxygen to the skin which damages the skin cells leading to dry skin with fine lines and wrinkles.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream

2010-02-15T00:57:00.000-08:00

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream has been clinically shown to reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face and to restore the youthful look of skin. The active ingredient is retinol, the purest from of vitamin A. retinol is a very small molecule that penetrates the epidermis (the top layer of the skin) and penetrates to the lower levels. Collagen and elastin are important to the firmness and elasticity of the skin and are damaged by the sun and other environmental stresses.

As the skin ages it produces less collagen and elastin and becomes less able to repair these molecules when they are damaged. Collagen acts as the foundation of the skin and when it is damaged the skin begins to sag and lines and wrinkles develop. When elastin is damaged the skin loses its elasticity which also contributes to lines and makes the skin look older. Retinol penetrates to the collagen and elastin layer and repairs these molecules. The result is firmer, more elastic skin with fewer lines and wrinkles and a better colour and tone.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a skin remedy recommended by dermatologists world wide as an effective treatment for wrinkles and lines and other signs of aging of the skin.Other ingredients in the cream are Vitamin E, a powerful anti oxidant, Pro-Vitamin B5 and moisturisers to restore the natural oils in the skin that decrease as we age. It is light and non greasy and easily absorbed by the skin. This It is also fragrance free to prevent any adverse reactions of the skin, oil free and non-comedogenic (it won't clog up the pores). This skin care treatment is specially formulated to be hypo-allergenic.

Use daily after cleansing. Only a small amount is needed. If you are using a retinol containing skin remedy for the first time you may have some redness of the skin but this should be temporary and disappear in a day or two. Retinol can make the skin more sensitive to the sun so be sure to use a high factor sun screen if you use this product in the day.
