Depending on your skin type, here are some great masks to try. For oily skin use some plain Milk of Magnesia, rub it on and let dry, then rinse with lukewarm water. It absorbs oil wonderfully!
For Normal/combination skin mix one egg and 1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal and a teaspoon olive oil until smooth. Spread on your face and leave 15 min then rinse.
For dry skin, mix one egg yolk, one teaspoon honey and a teaspoon olive oil and some vitamin E oil if you have it. Smooth on and leave on for 15 min. , rinse in lukewarm water and pat dry. If your skin is a bit dry you can put a dab or two of either olive oil, or any other light oil, or plain crisco if you want something heavier, on your moist skin after washing or a mask and your face is set without the $$ some people spend for the same look.

Cleanse, tone, moisturize. Use glycolic acid soap for oily skin, use twice a day. Use a toner at night with salicylic acid to prevent facial oil build up.
Moisturize once a day with a light cream. This will prevent your skin from being too dry, which can lead to acne break outs.

Home remedy for oily skin
Fruit acids have shown a positive effect in oily skin treatment. They remove oil from the skin and yet retain the moisture. Home remedies such as cucumber juice, lime juice and yogurt are effective in keeping oily skin under control. A mask of Aloe Vera, crushed strawberries and yogurt is an astringent for oily skin. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Some simple home remedies for oily skin:
1. Puree 1 egg white, 1-tsp. Lemon juice, 1-tsp. Mint and 陆 cucumber and apply it on the face for about 15 minutes.
2. A puree of fresh tomatoes works wonders on oily skin.
3. A facemask of tomato, lemon juice and oats must be applied on the cheeks, forehead and chin. Scrub your face with warm water. This home remedy for oily skin is ideal for blemishes.
4. A clay mask is yet another home remedy for oily skin since it draws out excess oil.
5. If your skin is excessively oily, mix in a few drops of eau de cologne. This not only helps keep oiliness away but also helps in refining the pores of the skin by acting as astringent, thereby preventing acne.
Take a diet that is rich in proteins, with plenty of leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Restrict sugar and high-fat foods and junk food. Supplement your food with wheat germ, nutritional yeast and whole grains, beans and nuts. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
Make up for oily skin
Choose cosmetic and facial care products specifically designed for oily skin. Use oil-free moisturizers for a shine-free complexion. You can use an antiseptic day cream before applying makeup to oily skin. This will keep sebaceous secretions under control. Makeup for oily skin hinges on creating a matte effect.
You must use foundations that block out shine and non-pore clogging formula. Use concealer to hide blemishes and spots. Loose powder can keep you looking fresh all day long and absorb the excess oil too. Most women with oily skin cant do without this makeup item. Powder blushes work well on oily skin than cream blushers.
Treatment for oily skin
There is no magical cure for oily skin. Regular care and appropriate treatment of oily skin can go a long way in keeping it clean and blemish free. Massage your face with upward and outward motions when cleansing it. Using warm water to dissolve skin oil while washing it is a good treatment for oily skin. But do not use very hot water as it can strip the skin of essential oils. Do not expect results overnight. What is required is a holistic treatment of oily skin - internally and externally.
# White or pink clay masks gently cleanse oily skin of excess oil. The darker brown clay masks are stronger and more effective on very oily skins. Apply a clarifying face mask couple of times a week.
# Aromatherapy oils such as lemon, rosemary and cedarwood are said to be effective in treating oily skin. A few drops of any of these oils combined with lanolin can be massaged into the skin.
# Topical Vitamin derivatives with ingredients such as tretinoin and isotretinoin are prescribed by dermatologists to tackle sensitive oily skins.
# Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide also form part of the treatment for oily skin. They unplug pores and reduce bacteria.
# Antibiotic creams and lotions such as erythromycin and clindamycin are effective in treating blemished oily skin.
# Lotions containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) can help oily skin become softer and smoother.

Facial Masks? Skin Care Tips?
I need ingredients for some good facial masks ASAP. I would like my face to be clear of blackheads/pimples but I want to do it naturally since nothing else seems to work. Skin Care tips are appreciated also.Facial Masks? Skin Care Tips?

How to cure a pimple
1. Wash you skin thoroughly and pat it dry with clean towel.
2. Wrap an ice cube in a washcloth and hold it over the spot for a minute or two; it'll help bring down the swelling.
3. Dip the end of a cotton swab into some diluted tea tree oil (available at any pharmacy, and trust me, this oil was meant for the skin!) and dot a tiny amount directly into the pimple.
4. Leave it alone to heal. Don't pop, pinch, or squeeze pimples, it will only make it worse. If pimple is still not healing, try using concealer to hide it. Don't choose concealer darker or lighter than your natural skin tone, or you'll draw attention to the problem. Here are the steps to using concealer:
~ If the pimple is dry and crusty, apply a little petroleum jelly (like vaseline) first to soften it.
~ Apply the concealer to the pimple using a clean cotton swab. (Don't apply concealer on areas around the spot that don't need it or you'll just create a ';halo effect';.)
~ Pat some face powder over the concealer to set it and help it stay put all day long.
Hope this helps! Tell me what the results of this medication is after you do it.
Green clay (for face masks) is good for oily skin. White clay is good for dry skin.
Same here, except the other way around - i've been using natural stuff and found it didn't work, but now it sort of is.
If you're in England (or if they have one of these wherever you are), go to the Body Shop. They tell you the range of products to get for your skin type, and they're really good!
Tea Tree oil products are good for oily %26amp; blemished skin, and seaweed products for normal to oily I think. (:
I hear ya!!!! i am tried about everything under the sun and nothing ever worked or nothing ever kept it gone.
My skincare routine:
Cleanser: Basis....this is just a bar of soap that matches your pH level of your skin....so it wont dry out your face(if you don't use moisturizer though it will) This cleanser seems simple and it is not meant to fight acne...but in a sense it does...it really cleans your face well without drying out your face...i didnt believe my mom when she recomended it...but man does it work wonders
Toner: Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner...really any toner you prefer is ok...but this it the one i use. Start from the top of your face and go towards the temples...aslo with cheeks...go towards the temples...then on chin go in circular motions only(not making it up...this is what you are supposed to do whenever applying anything to your face) This will take off the dead skin and make your pores smaller(helps with the dirt getting in) It also leaves face really smooth and nice looking!!!!
Moisturizer : Sheer Cover Oil Free Moisturizer...again any moisturizer will be good...just as long as it is oil free, made for the face, does not have any acne fighting agents in it. Dot it all over face then apply just like i said with the toner. Moisturizing can really halp fighting the acne. Did you know that dry skin is actually a cause for acne and pimples? The dry skin will actually clog your pores and therefore cause a breakout. Dont listen to people saying you just need to dry your face out...its a lie.
Facial scrub: Oatmeal and Sugar....seriously...this is the BEST scrub i have ever had....just take oatmeal and grind it into a powder and the add Sugar( more Sugar if you want more of a scrub...less if you just want something soothing) then add a little water and make like a paste( not too thick and not too thin) Rub on your face for like 3 minutes then rinse with warm water...put moisturizer on right afterward and your face will feel so refreshed and soft!!!!! Do it about once a week. Dont rub too hard or you will damage face. The oatmeal is for sootheing for face of redness and dry skin. The sugar is for exfoliation.
Steam your face for about 5 to 10 minutes a week. Mousturize right after you steam. This will open your pores and get all the dirt and grim out. It also helps with dryness. Dont steam and use the scrub on the same day. It is best to use it on seperate days. Dont ask me why...just figured it out. =)
I suffer a little more from dry skin...but yet it can get oily at times...but with this routine has been great....and now i don't have a single blemish or patch of dry skin!!!!! It is amazing!!!!! Do this routine( excluding the scrub and steam) twice a day. Your skin will clear up...but in about a week or two your face will break out and that is a good sigh. This is because all of the dirt is getting out of your skin. Just keep with it and it will pay off in the long run...i have great skin right now(used to have horrible skin...i could have seriously been on one of those acne comercials it was so bad)...but now i have stuck with this routine and my skin is now soft and smooth!!!!!!!
Tips:
Vitamin E(taking it and also rubing on face) is really good for your skin
Olive oil is also good(rubbing on face...wamred...rinsed with warm water
Taking fish oil is also good
Try not to touch your face....it pushes the dirt into your face
Whereing your hair out of your face also helps with blemishes

I've recently waxed my facial hair and I was just wondering if there was some sort of after care routine or something? Cos the skin on the face is more sensitive than the rest of the body, right?

Does anyone how I may contact Dermitage (skin care(facial products) to receive my refund?
I called and canceled any future orders of Dermitage facial/skin care products, because, simply put, I did not notice any change on my face within the allotted trial period. The Dermitage company also stated. to return any unused or empty product, as I have done %26amp; paid the S %26amp; H charges that incurred to mailing back their product. (I kept my mailing receipt for tracking purposes). I called Dermitage and, explained why I choose to return merchandise, be it used or empty. I was given a RMA # for confirmation and to put on package for the purpose of shipping and handling before the specified date of Saturday, December 6, 2008. I had an inclination urging me to check my bank account. I did and nearly fainted, because they DID take out the full purchase price of the product shipped to me in the amount of $89.95! I cannot afford to fatten unscrupulous pirates' pockets. The product purchase price of $89.95 (for just those ';trial'; small jars, which is the ACTUAL PRODUCT), caused an overdraft which infuriates me to no end. Now, I am ready to take legal action. The tele. # they gave me only rings, NO ONE ANSWERS.
This only makes legitimate businesses skeptic to advertise their product. The consumers will bypass all interaction of such with the impression that they will get RIPPED OFF. Does anyone how I may contact Dermitage (skin care(facial products) to receive my refund?
A subpoena, lawyer, and a little patience always does the trick if you want wee bit more than a $89.95.
If you want to take a shot to this company though, blogging on almost every blog out there, get the word out, make a youtube (TM!) video for heavens sake, slab a fine girl on the front and clicks will be coming like there's no tommarow.
Using the web as your resource is a fine tool in combating difficult predators such as this ignorant company.
