Skin care?
« on: June 14, 2010, 03:39:34 PM »
I have noticed since Ive lost weight that my skin is very oily now and it used to be very dry. My skin is very sensitive and Im not sure what I should do. It is problem because it's getting very bad.... :-\

The best thing for oily skin is witch hazel, and its very cheap.You have to make sure you are drinking enough water too to flush out your pores.I have really dry skin but around my period my skin gets oily and I break out and i am not 16 i am 45! :D
Let me know if this helps if not I make a tea tree calendula spray i will give you the recipe for.Germs cannot live in it.We use it for everything.

My skin has gotten oilier too. I wondered if it was the change in diet, all the meats possibly?

Thats right Joanne.You put it on a cotton ball Beebs.It is a good astringent.I think SherriPie that the body realeases toxins through the skin.It is a natural and healthy process.

Try the witch hazel,If that doesn't work then you can try essential oils.There are essential oils that bacteria can't survive in.

Have you guys tried Proactive? I used that after the birth of my son 11 years ago and it rocked. Cleared it right up. I am thinking about trying it again if it doesn't clear up. I look like I have teenage skin at 40. LOL

I tried Proactive and all it did was dry out my skin, really bad! Now I use Tetracycline, it's a pill. so far so good! Good luck!
