When using skin care products on your skin you can ask yourself this: Would I eat this?”.

And if the answer is “no” then how can it really be a healthy product for the biggest organ of our body: the skin.

It still absorbs what we put on it so why use what we don't need in our body system?

Healthy tips for oily/acne prone skin.

Acne is one of the most common skin condition. If you are struggling with pimples, zits or acne, you can take a few steps to conquer it.

You have to know the cause of a problem in order to treat it. Two main causes of acne: bacteria and excess oil secretion.

So your best bet is to fight the bacteria(demodex mite) known to cause acne and reduce the oil secretion of your face.

•Using natural oils/extracts that are anti-septic, anti-oxidant and anti-bacteria has proven very effective over the years.

•Moisturise your face(it tricks your sebaceous gland into secreting less oil).

•Do not pick your pimples, it causes inflammation and black head. Let it heal naturally.

•Do not over wash your face. Stick to 2 times a day because the more you wash off your natural oil, the more oil secretion you have.

You can moisturize with natural oils like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil or apricot oil.

It penetrates fast and doesn't leave any greasy feel.

Some actually think it is bad idea using oil to moisturize an oily skin but it's not. When you moisturize with fast absorbing oils, your sebaceous gland produces less sebum(oil).

But the type of oil you use for this really matters.

For better results, do not towel dry. Apply oil when your body is slightly damp to lock in moisture. You will be hydrated for longer.

You can always throw in your questions.

How do I mosturize at home?

Cc:MaraCruiz

You can moisturize with any good moisturizer. I prefer using light oils like grapeseed or jojoba oil. The trick is to apply when skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture.


And when you apply on slightly damp skin, you tend to use less oil.

The quest for a brighter and even skin tone...

We live in the tropics where the sun is so scorching and harsh. The impurities in the air...the pollution we encounter every day.  All these affect the organ where our body is housed- the skin.

The skin produces more melanocytes in the ares exposed to sunlight and that increases melanin which is what makes skin darker.

If you yearn for a brighter, clear and even skin tone, you have to be informed about the steps to take to take care of your skin and protect it from the environment we live in.

Beauty Regime:
•Maintain a healthy diet: Nourish your body from within for an overall well being and a healthy skin.

•Take Vitamin C supplement: Vitamin C 1000mg helps eradicate all free radicals that makes our skin look dull.

•Exfoliation using body scrub: This is a very important step as it helps shed off dead skin cells and products penetrate easily on an exfoliated skin.

•Moisturize : With oils or moisturizers paying attention to your skin type.

•Hydration: The benefit of water for our overall well being can't be overflogged.

•Protect: Protect yourself from the harsh rays of the sun as much as you can, stay out of the sun but if you must, please do wear a sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

Skin Care Products: Use products with mild naturally derived brightening agents like vitamin C, citrus peel/oils, lactic acid, liquorice root extract, papaya extract, cucumber extract, kojic acid, etc.

These ingredients regulate melanin production and are all antioxidants as they can reduce the free radicals that stimulate melanocyte activity. 

Our skin cells regenerate every 28days so be patient when using natural products because any product that whitens you in days will definitely have adverse effects on your skin in the future.

Get a brighter, clear, and glowing skin the natural way.

Good job maracruiz. The need to eat healthy, exercise and be patient, and consistent, in the use of natural products cannot be overemphasized. Harsh chemicals might give quick results but will damage the skin in the long run. One will end up spending more money and time to repair it if possible, not forgettiing the low self-esteem associated with damaged and blemished skin.

By the way, pure coconut oil is also a good moisturing oil for both hair and body.

Thanks expozey. And yes coconut oil is a good moisturizer and it's good for both hair and body.
