Aging Skin
The thickened skin texture linked with middle age is associated with cellular build up. It responds very well to mild, abrasive regular cleansing with beauty grains such as finely ground corn meal, ground sun flowers or almonds. Massage gently to cleanse and stimulate.
Beautiful Skin
To make or keep your skin beautiful, it’s best to start work from the inside out.
Eating the right kinds of food will do for you more good than any medicine, and go a long way in helping your body’s own healing forces. Eating a balanced diet that includes raw foods, lots of yellow and orange vegetables (they contain beta carotene – a precursor to vitamin A). Foods high in sulfur such as garlic, onions, asparagus and eggs. Include fruits, seeds, grains and nuts.
Many find Organic Skin Care Recipes very helpful for these situations.

Mayonnaise for Dry Facial
If you have a tendency for dry facial skin, a gentle regular massage with mayonnaise will do the trick. You can use lemon juice, egg and safflower or other such oil to make your own dry skin lotion.
Oily Skin
Here is a cleansing stimulating facial treatment that is very helpful for those with oily skin. Mash together the pulp of one garden ripe tomato and enough fuller’s earth (should find it at most pharmacies) to make a smooth paste. Rub it into your skin and leave it on until it dries completely (note: do not apply to eye area). Rinse with warm water, then splash your face with cold water. Blot dry.
Treating Large Pores
If you have large pores on your skin, the following steps should be very helpful. Stop using commercial products on your skin. Instead, use homemade skin cleansers. Splash warm water onto your face and use half a handful of stone-ground cornmeal into your wet palm. Gently rub the moistened meal into your entire face, adding water as needed. Another homemade cleanser can be made by adding a few drops of lemon or lime juice or apple cider vinegar to milk (use powdered skin milk if your skin is oily).
Soak yarrow (check health food stores or botanical supply stores for this herb) in water overnight, and apply this astringent several times a day – less frequently if your skin is dry.
Avoid all creams. Use an unsaturated vegetable oil if you need to (e.g. vitamin E oil).
Rashes
Whether it’s diaper rash, chicken pox, measles, insect bites or hives, corn starch can provide relief. For measles and chicken pox, take a bath in a tub of water to which a big handful of cornstarch has been added. For the other rashes rub the cornstarch on as a powder.
Vitamins and Your Skin
Vitamins are necessary to the health of your skin, especially vitamins A, B, C and E. Vitamin E is super helpful to improve your complexion when applied externally.
Zinc for Acne
Not enough zinc, caused by a diet high in refined carbohydrates may be the chief cause of acne. Zinc is necessary for processing carbohydrates, but it is removed when cane is refined into white sugar, and wheat is refined into white flour. Eat more foods rich in zinc, including soybeans, whole grains, sunflower seeds, and a small amount of raw nuts daily. Zinc also has antibacterial activity, and is a necessary element in the oil-producing glands of the skin.
