Homemade Face Masks For Dull Skin

Dull skin lacks radiance and glow, which can be a result of many internal factors from stress, bad diet or an imbalance in our hormone levels. But lacklustre skin can also be caused by external factors like a build up of dead skin cells, harsh weather and even the use of chemical laden skincare products.
Apart from a good skincare routine and a healthy lifestyle, the regular use of homemade face masks is the most cost effective and convenient methods of reviving a tired complexion. Homemade facial masks offer a more healthy alternative to most commercially made products that usually contain undesirable chemicals and additives. These synthetic additives can actually encourage skin dullness as well as sensitivities, especially when used long term.
So what are the benefits of homemade face masks?
*They are cheaper than commercial products, as they are largely made from edible ingredients that most of us have in our kitchens.
*They are fresh, as they're usually made prior to application.
*They contain no preservatives or artificial additives because they are not prepared and stored for months and even years like most commercial products.
*They can be tailored to suit your skin. The ingredients can be adjusted depending on the condition and sensitivity of the skin.
*They are more effective, yet gentle, due to the high quality of natural and active ingredients.
It is surprisingly simple to make spa quality face masks for dull skin using ingredients that most of us have in our kitchens, here's a few ideas to get you started.

Indian Gooseberry mask for dull skin.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon fullers earth powder
1teaspoon Indian Gooseberry powder

Natural Ways to Fight Acne



Anyone that has acne knows the constant fight for clear skin that we who suffer are constantly fighting. It seems that we are always looking for new acne treatments, remedies, cures, etc.. But what usually happens is that you go to your local drugstore and you end up buying the most expensive acne treatment creams and cleansers only to be disappointed within a month because you can not even tell that it is working, or it is not doing the job like you expected it to. This is the frustrating cycle of acne treatment products that all of us acne sufferers face.
With so many acne cures on the market who's to say that one might or might not work for your acne. But one thing is clear, these acne product companies are not making a product for you, they are making a acne product for everyone an so it is hard for them to get the right formula for your acne condition. This is not to say that some of these acne treatments do not work, but they just might not be working for you. You must also remember that these chemicals in all of these acne products can be harmful to your skin and sometimes even worsen your skin by irritation, or trigger an allergic reaction. At this point you probably give up for a while and then later you will start the whole process over again trying to find the right treatments for acne.

EAT HEALTHY FOODS

Some of the problems that you face when fighting acne are no so much on the outside of your body, but yet on the inside. You have heard the saying you are what you eat right? Well if you are the type of person who loves to drink sodas and stop off at your favorite burger place for your lunch break then you can only imagine what your body has to work with to fight off acne. When you load up on all of these greasy fatty foods you are not providing your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to fight the bacteria on your face and body.
When you put healthy foods into your body you are then giving your body the tools it needs stop the acne before it occurs. Some great examples of foods that fight acne are those that contain vitamin C. Vitamin C can protect your skin from scaring and even make it stronger.
Great Vitamin C foods:
  • Broccoli
  • Cranberries
  • Grapefruit
  • Tomatoes
LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Dealing with stress is a major trigger for acne. Since stress is not a natural part of the body, when we invite it into our lives it has been proven to make our bodies to over produce testosterone which results into us having acne. To fight the stress that we encounter in life it is important to maintain a healthy exercise routine.
Some of the most simplest exercises can help bring stress levels down dramatically. Not only does alleviating the stress help fight off the acne in our bodies, it also makes us feel better about ourselves and when we feel better we think more clearly and make better decisions about what we put into our bodies which cycles all back into eating a healthy diet.
Exercises to alleviate stress:
  • Running
  • Working out
  • Swimming
  • Bike riding
If you take care of your body it will take care of you. Eating healthy and staying in shape may seem like a no brain-er but it is two of the simplest things we over look in our everyday lives. Implementing these two principles alone will show you a major change in your skin and you will start to see your acne fade away. The best part of these methods are that they cost you no extra money from what you already spend. Next time you go for a lunch make a healthier choice and before you plop down on the couch after work, take the time to get outside and exercise. I have been Using these two methods for years and I rarely ever breakout anymore, and I had severe acne!

Five Foods for Clear Skin


If you are taking care of the skin on your face by cleansing, exfoliating and applying proper amounts of moisturizer then you are on your way to stopping and preventing acne.
The next step is to ensure your diet is also helping your body to stop and prevent acne. Here are five foods you must be consuming for a skin free of acne and blemishes.

1.Green Tea- Green tea contains polyphenols that are excellent antioxidants. Antioxidants are one of the best ways to treat and prevent acne. It has also been found to reduce hormonal imbalance and can kill the bacteria that causes acne.
2.Cooking Oils- Using the right cooking oil will not only be good for your skin, but for the rest of your body. Use oils that have saturated fats in them very conservatively and use those that have unsaturated fats as your main source of oil for cooking.
You may want to also consider taking Omega - 3 fish oil supplements to give your skin a boost and your whole body a boost.
3.Oatmeal- Oatmeal is a good anti-inflammatory agent that is essential to fight acne. If you eat a lot of process foods, you are susceptible to your immune system over reacting to infections, called inflammation. Inflammation will cause your acne to look much worse than it really is and could cause scarring.
Both oatmeal and Omega-3 will reduce inflammation in your body allowing your immune system to attack only the damaged tissue.
You can also make a skin-scrub from oatmeal using 3/4 cup of dry oatmeal and 1/2 cup of honey, another good natural ingredient used to fight ache. Rub this on your face for a few minutes then rinse off. Your skin will look fresh and youthful afterwards.
4. Beans - All beans are great for your body. But black beans are better than most because they provide your body with more antioxidants than any other type of bean.
5. Eggs- Eggs are a great source of vitamin D, and also contain other vitamins and nutrients. Though the whole egg is great for your body, the yolk will help your skin immensely.
Not only should you eat eggs to help prevent acne, but you can also apply raw eggs to the face in the form of a mask. Just beat one egg with something to help hold it together such as baking soda (which will also kill the bacteria that causes acne) and apply to your face. Let set between 5 and 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water.

Conclusion

Taking care of your face by cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing go along way to help stop acne and keeps your face looking youthful. But go that next step and stop acne by eating the right foods, such as the five I have listed here, which are great for your acne diet.
Jimmy C has been studying skin care for many years because of his skin problems in his youth. Being a victim of acne in his younger days, he has researched this subject to help people prevent and stop acne. He has also studied many aspects of caring for the bodies skin and keeping it youthful and free of irritants.

Get Age Spots Free Skin


Age spots mostly appear in areas consistently exposed to sunlight (the face and backs of hands, for example), although they also are occasionally found on less exposed areas. Ultraviolet (UV) light accelerates the production of melanin. Melanin is the dark pigment in the epidermis that gives your skin its normal color. The extra melanin is produced to protect the deeper layers of your skin—creates the darker color of a tan.

Age spots are harmless. Age spots range from freckle-size to more than a centimeter across and can group together, making them more prominent. Often, age spots are accompanied by other signs of sun damage. Symptom is a skin lesion that is a painless, flat patch or macula (area of skin color change). Liver spots are the result of a "ceroid" pigment build up in the skin of older people. These latter spots are the outward signs of free radical destruction within the body. There is pre-oxidation of fats—in the cells instead of in the liver. Free radical damage produces waste materials in cells throughout the body, including the brain and liver. Liver spots do not become cancerous.
What causes age spots?

When you are exposed more to the sun your skin produces cells called melanocytes. These cells produce a dark brown pigment called melanin, because of which your skin turns darker. When you are overexposed to sunlight, the melanocytes will be produced in a higher extent. This causes in the appearance of brown, black or gray spots on your skin, which are popular as age spots. These age spots appear on every body area exposed to the skin, and they are more on your face as it is more exposed to sun than any other part.

Home Remedies to Treat Brown Spots:

Keep in mind that these brown spots, thought to be caused by sun damage or a nutrition deficiency, took years to form. A variation of this remedy is to rub on castor oil and take the vitamin E orally.

Lemon juice is a tried and tested remedy for treating freckles. Apply lemon juice with your fingers on the affected area; lemon juice bleaches the dark spots.

To remove freckles. Blanch and grind two almonds, mix it with white of an egg and half teaspoon of lime juice. Spread the mixture on the face and leave it on till the skin feels dry. Then, wash off first with warm water and then with cold water.

Another home remedy for facial brown spots is to make a paste of different plants cobinations and apply it to your face. Grind about 100 grams of dried basil leaf, neem leaf (from the tree the Indians call "Nature's Drugstore) and mint; add some turmeric powder. Put in enough rose water to make a paste. Apply this to the age spots on the face. Also , a paste of saffron and honey can also help remove dark spots.

Buttermilk Dab buttermilk on the spots. The lactic acid and other ingredients in the milk are beneficial to the skin. Buttermilk has been used for generations as a skin cleanser and as a beauty aid.

Secrets to Look younger


*      Use makeup to brighten skin. If your skin is looking dull try brightening it up with some makeup. A good bronzer or blush can give it a much needed burst of color and make you look younger and healthier.

*       Hide dark circles and age spots. Dark circles and age spots can make you appear much more tired and old than you really are. Cover them up with a good concealed or camouflage makeup to give you an instantly younger face.

*        Don’t use foundation to cover wrinkles. While it may seem to even out skin tone, foundation will sink into the wrinkles, making them appear much deeper than they really are.

*       Don’t overdo it. Wearing too much makeup can actually make you look older, not younger. Try using lighter formulas or those with skin brightening elements to give your skin a boost without having to encase it a layer of makeup.

*       Shape your eyebrows. Sometimes a simple tweeze of the eyebrows can do wonders for your face, lifting and highlighting your best features. Learn to do it properly yourself or have them professionally waxed for an instant facelift.

*       Choose flattering shades. Bright white metallic eye shadow or dark rogue may have worked for you at one point in your life but trends change. Choose shades that flatter your hair, eye and skin tones and you’ll look younger and more attractive.
*      Use less soap and styling products. Using an excess of products in the shower or when styling can dry out the skin or make hair oily and unmanageable. Use a light hand when doling out either.

*       Curl eyelashes. You can help open up your eyes, make your face look brighter and younger by curling your eyelashes. Try doing it just after you shower to get the best results.

*       Don’t use powder. Facial powders may eliminate some of the oil on your skin but they can also sink into wrinkles making you look older than you are. Try cream based powders instead for a more flawless complexion.
