Luckily I had already seen my doctor who was so concerned that he prescribed the heavy duty acne treatment <span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><a href="http://www.acne.org/accutane.html">Roaccutane</a>. It has been claimed that this drug can cause depression and suicidal thoughts and I have to be honest and say there were some dark times for me during this period. It wasn’t helped by the fact I couldn’t cover up my face with makeup.</span></p><p style="color: #444444;">Basically I became a recluse for 6 months only venturing out to go to work. My only social interaction outside my family was with a forum I found online where people discussed acne issues. This was my lifeline as they offered encouragement and it became a great support network for me.</p><p style="color: #444444;">My doctor was very strict with me and provide me with a diet as well as banning the use of all commercial shop bought cosmetics and beauty treatments. So as well as feeling very low and looking terrible I also couldn’t even enjoy a piece of chocolate to cheer me up.</p><p style="color: #444444;">I had to cut out all fat, chocolate, coffee<span style="color: #000000;">, salt, anything processed, and all chemicals and additives. All my food was boiled, grilled or steamed.</span></p><p style="color: #444444;">During this time I decide to find out if I could do anything to help my skin and began researching natural healing. That is how I started creating these homemade beauty treatments you find on this blog. Everything you see here is part of my learning and healing process. I am not an expert by any means so everything I did was self-taught - and the result of lots of failed experiments!</p><div class="HRLCPzU2"><div style="float: right;margin-top: 5px;padding-left: 15px;">   </div></div><p style="color: #444444;">After 6 long months my acne disappeared due to my diet, my medication, and my natural beauty products. I’ll never forget the reaction I got from my friends after they saw me acne free for the first time. My skin actually looked better than ever and my friends kept on asking me how I did it. After telling them about my beauty experiments they were desperate to get their hands on my recipes so I decided to publish them in this blog.</p><p style="color: #444444;">I went through a lot to bring you these lovely recipes. I hope you can enjoy the benefits of my masks without having to go through what I suffered.

22You'll agree with me when I say:
23Knowing the ingredients in your makeup and beauty products is important...
24They may be harmful to you, or the environment.
25Many of them are expensive, or over-priced.
26Most don't live up to the hype.
27Some don't work at all.
28But there is an alternative:
29Make your own homemade face mask.
30It is easy and fun to do.
31You control the ingredients so you know exactly what is in it.
32Best of all:
33The results are as good as many shop bought products. Sometimes even better.
34Believe me, you will appreciate the results far more after applying a face mask you made yourself.
35Let me show you how to make homemade face masks that I have tried and tested.
36Masks made with natural ingredients that can:Help fix acne and acne scars
37Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
38Get rid of dark circles
39Remove facial hair
40Exfoliate your skin
41Make your skin glow
42Clean the surface and underlying layers of skin
43Stimulate blood circulation
44Stimulate skin metabolism by oxygenating and nourishing the tissuesSome are suitable for all skin types, some are for specific skin types.
45All are easy to make using the step-by-step instructions provided at the end of this article.
46And not an E number in sight!
47Home made face masks can reduce or even remove the undesirable effects that harm our skin.
48Skin Types - What Kind Do I Have?
49To get the best results from my homemade face masks, you must know what skin type you have.
50This is very important and is the key to getting the best results.
51Each skin type has different characteristics.
52When you know the characteristics of your skin type you can choose the best treatments.
53Here’s the deal:
54You will not get miraculous results after applying a single homemade face mask.
55But if you apply them often you will see improvements in your complexion.
56Also:
57You need a daily skin regime to ensure your skin is clean to get the benefits.What defines my skin type?
58Your skin type is defined by 2 things:Hereditary factors:
59the characteristics that are passed on by your parents
60External factors:
61things like environment, hormonal changes, climate, stress, and diet.What influences my skin condition?
62What happens inside your body is reflected in the condition of your skin.
63For example:Acne
64Hormonal disorders
65Some infectious diseasesCan lead to premature wrinkles.
66Also, your state of mind can cause premature ageing.
67So:Mental health issues
68Fear
69Nerve imbalanceAll have a harmful influence on metabolism that can add years on to your face.
70Healthy eating and exercise can make a difference but it isn't always easy to do!
71What skin types are there?
72Normal skin
73Normal skin is the 'perfect' skin type.
74It has small pores, almost invisible, velvety smoothness and a matte texture.
75It is well hydrated and nourished without being shiny.
76It also has good elasticity and a nice color.
77But here’s the kicker:
78If not cared for normal skin can disappear.
79It rarely lasts and disappears after the last flush of youth.
80Pollution, an improper diet, lack of water, or a harsh climate can also damage normal skin.
81So:
82To keep your normal skin you have to look after it with nourishing homemade face masks.
83Dry skin
84Dry skin looks very thin and flakes easily.
85It is fragile, irritable and sensitive.
86The dryness is caused by under-active sebaceous glands that leaves the skin under-moisturised.
87Skin can become dry due to:Sunbathing
88wind exposure
89repeated saunas
90steam baths
91using the wrong cosmetics for your skin
92lack of skin protection ie SPFAlso:
93Stress and illness can alter the metabolic processes of dermis and epidermis. This makes things worse.
94If you have dry skin it is vital that you choose the right homemade face mask for it's care and protection.
95Oily skin
96Oily skin looks like orange peel, is shiny, and lacks flexibility.
97Pores are filled with sebum.
98This means the skin fails to remove toxins causing blackheads and spots.
99With oily skin the sebaceous glands are over-active. This makes it more prone to infections.
100The greasy pores is what gives the skin its shiny yellowish hue.
101In hot and humid climates oily skin gets worse. The heat increase sebum production.
102If not managed the heat will dry the sebum in the skin pores starving the skin of oxygen.
103This results in a deterioration of the skin tissue.
104It is vital that oily skin on the face is cleaned to reduce the sebum and prevent these issues. Particularly in hot or humid climates.
105You will find many suitable homemade face masks for oily skin on this website.
106Combination skin
107Combination skin is when you have 2 or more different skin types on your face at the same time.
108For example:
109The nose chin and forehead, which is also known as T-zone, may have more active glands than other part of the face.
110This would make this part of your face oily.
111The rest of your face may be dry.
112Or you may have dry skin, wrinkles and rosacea together with acne.
113This makes skin treatment more complicated.
114Combination skin occurs due to various factors.
115Sometimes it is hereditary.
116Or other times it is caused by using the wrong skin-care products.
117For example:
118Certain ingredients can stimulate oil production. This might cause irritation that dries the skin on the rest of the face.
119This means you may have to use different cosmetic products on different parts of the face.
120Luckily I have homemade face masks for combination skin so you don't have to worry about this too much.
121Sensitive skin
122It is easy to muddle dry and sensitive skin.
123Dry skin is dehydrated.
124Sensitive skin may feel dry but will also be itchy, red, and swollen.
125You may also feel a burning or stinging sensation in the skin too.
126You need to select products or face masks that are gentle on the skin to avoid causing damage.
127If you have sensitive skin preparing homemade face masks is best. You have complete control over the ingredients so you can select things that are gentle on your skin.
128Luckily I have a selection of homemade facial masks that is perfect for sensitive skin.
129Acne
130Most of us suffered from mild acne during puberty due to increased sebum production.
131But, acne can occur at any age as I found out myself.
132Hormonal imbalances, digestive problems and stress are all known causes of acne.
133Acne is an infection caused by blockage of pores with germ infested sebum deposits.
134The sebum spreads over the face and onto the back, chest and arms.
135The worst thing you can do for acne is squeeze the spots. This spreads the infected sebum.
136Some lotions and soaps can also increase sebum production making it worse.
137Staphylococcus infection is a common cause of acne. This needs to be treated by a Doctor.
138Other microorganisms may need to be treated by a dermatologist.
139You can only treat mild forms of acne that are not contagious with suitable natural home made face masks.
140Mature skin
141As you grow older certain changes occur in your skin:your skin tissue looses elasticity
142your skin becomes dryer
143wrinkles develop
144your sebaceous and sweat glands become less activeThis results in bags under the eyes, chin and neck. You may also get dark circles.
145Some of these effects are the natural side-effect of ageing. But some are a side-effect of your environment or diet.
146Causes include:hormonal and metabolic imbalance
147lack of sleep
148stress
149poor diet
150disease and illness
151pollution
152environmental factors such as sun, wind and frostThere are a selection of homemade face masks for mature skin on this website.
153Rosacea (red skin)
154Rosacea is a network of small red blood vessels that appears on the face.
155Skin looks pale with a fragile network of red lines on the cheeks, nose and forehead.
156It is caused by capillary breakage.
157It is often hereditary but other causes include:intense facial massages
158sudden temperature variations
159improper diets
160the use of harsh towels or spongesIt can't be repaired but you can prevent it getting worse.
161Avoid sudden temperature changes. Don't use cleansing lotions that contain alcohol. Instead try infusions of linden, chamomile or mallow.
