-
Organics
-
Switch your skin care products to organic products if you're not already using them. Some people experience allergic reactions to the chemicals in skin care products that aren't organic.
Lifestyle Habits
-
Sleep longer hours and exercise. Try to get 15 minutes of sun, but do it during the early morning hours, and wear an organic sunscreen.
-
Diet
-
Add more fruit juices to your diet. Drink green tea and six to eight glasses of water throughout the day to cleanse the body. Eat more fiber-rich foods.
Steam and Cleanse
-
Steam opens the pores, allowing for elimination of trapped oils that cause breakouts. After steaming, consider washing your face with soap that contains tea tree oil, which is known for its antiseptic properties.
Exfoliate
-
Gentle massage with sugar makes the skin smooth, softens lines and lightens the appearance of age spots, but avoid using on moles. Application of lemon juice and rinsing it off after 15 minutes also lightens age spots.
Seabuck Thorn Oil
-
Daily cleansing of the skin with soap that contains seabuck thorn oil may keep rosacea under control and eliminate rosacea breakouts after 3 to 4 weeks.
