My skin dries out after a hot bath. Should I bathe in oil or apply afterwards? What cheap oils work well?

I have lots of body aches which are helped by a hot bath. I don't want to buy beauty oils because they are pricey, so I'd rather use food oils. Baby mineral oil in inexpensive, but is it healthy? A few people have mentioned olive oil or almond oil.

How much should I use? I've seen anything from 2T to a few drops.



Answer
Any vegetable oil is fine providing it is Cold Pressed - anything else has been boiled to get the oil out and therefore the nutrients in the oil are dead. Olive oil is great (and the cheapest) Almond oil is lighter to use but the more costly of the two. if you want to add a scent to the oil use Essential Oils (like lavender, sandalwood, orange etc), but make sure they are not 'perfume oils' which are a cheaply made version of essential oils. Most health food stores can help you with these items. Rosemary essential oil is the one used for muscular aches.

If you have dry skin after bath here is a method I use to keep skin moist. Mix equal amounts of Oil and natural sea salt (not iodised salt)
(I find 1 tbsp of each is enough) and then gently rub over your entire body, then get into bath and just sit (dont wash it off leave it on) when you get out of bath gently pat yourself dry. You will find your skin is nice and smooth.

Also try usuing goats milk soaps they tend to wash without drying out the skin.

How should I get rid of blackheads and acne on forehead and chin?




Florence


Im 20 years old and I never had acne before about a year ago. I have a lot of blackheads on my forehead and it results in little bumps, sometimes red ones. I also have some on my chin, though they turn into pimples a lot more often. The space between my eyebrows has been the place where pimples have come out when i was a teen, about once a month (Im a girl and hormones you know what I mean). I still have issues in that area.

I wash my face once a day before I go to bed, often twice a day if I wash in the morning as well. I use a natural scrub and soft foaming face soap. I haven't found a lotion I like yet so hydration could be part of the issue, but Im sure there is more. It's pretty bad and people who love me have started to pass comments about it. I don't feel Im getting a handle on the situation.

Can anyone help me?



Answer
Hello, I am 17 and know what you are going through trust me! Black heads suck! I have finally found something that helped me though and it's cheap and not very hard to do!
I have been through many trial and error and have realized commercial skin products just make things worse.

The supplies I use to maintain healthy good looking skin (as best I can) is different types of salt and a very gentle soap.

My soap is made by Dr. Ohiira (called a beauty bar) which has all natural ingrediants and probiotics to help kill of bad bacteria on the skin but maintain the good bacteria that heal your skin. You can order this soap online, but if you want something from the drug store try Dove's unscented soap bar. I reccomend going to a health food store instead and getting a very natural soap instead though.

Next after washing your face with a mild, gentle cleanser you are going to need:
Epsom salt (salt of magnesium) you can get this at any drug store for very cheap. It is great for the skin, aches, buises, scrapes, etc and it even helps kill bad bacteria and retain moisture in skin.

You can either put two table spoons of this in pretty warm water and stir it around until it is cloudy white ish and tastes bitter. You can use this as a toner for your skin with a cotton ball and let it dry as a mask. You can even sleep with this, but it will dry as a slightly white salty film so I would sleep on a towel or some sort of pillow protector although I never have noticed a noticible salty film in my bed or anything. The toner helps all oilyness and seriosuly reduced redness so much. A less potent toner with less epsom salt would leave a less white residue and could be used for daily wear, under make up even.

The next way to use epsom salt is to grind it up into a almost a powder like form. I do this using a coffee bean grinder (I do this because the grains are to big and don't scrub as much and the sand like texture helps more when using as a scrub). I then mix it with either a creamy gentle cleanser, or just a little bit of water, or some sort of natural home made mask and use it as a scrub / exfolient and the grains will eventually disolves soaking into your face and then you rinse.

There is yet another way to use epsom salt, and this is good for body oilyness and acne. Put two cups of epsom salt into a hot bath and soak. This is very effective plus relaxing as the magnesium sulfate (that makes up epsom salt) is very soothing to your muscles as well as good for taking out redness and inflamation in the skin.


Two other types of salts I use on my skin are Hemilayan Sea Salt (naturally a light pink or greyish color) and I also use Dead sea salt.

Both of these salts are great at fighting blemishes and reducing oils but are a more drying salt for the skin. If you choose to you can add 1 tea spoon of each of these salts to 2 cups of warm water. OR even more effectively you can make a toner using all three, (Hemilayan, Dead Sea, and Epsom salt) into one toner.

I would alternate between using the mixed salt toner, and regular epsom salt toner so you do not dry your skin out to much but to keep it balanced.

Apple cider vinegar used in the ratio 1:1 with water makes an excellent claryfying agent and even lightens the skin (:

You can look up the reviews for most of these items too and see how other people rate them also. The sight acne.org has a lot of info on products and skin even if you don't have acne it can be helpful. ! Hope this helps with everyoneâs skin! XO (:


table salt should never be used on the skin because it is bleached and will actually harm your skin as well as your body. Eating pure sea salt is a million times better too!

email me if you have any questions or comment.
