Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 Hi Darlene, It looks like that wonderful jumped in and saved the day for me once again. It sure it wonderful to have an expert on the list to help out with this. I was thrilled a few months ago when wrote and told me she had been working with my skin care line in depth for years and gave me a glowing testimonial. It really is a tiny little world we live in. I am so glad it is populated with so many wonderful caring people willing to give of their time to share their information and experiences. I hope all your questions were answered.

I tried Rashelle's face mask the other day (loved it!), and now my face seems really oily by the end of the day. I didn't think of a connection until Rea posted about there not being dry skin - just problems exfoliating (sp?) the dead layers off. I've had combination skin, so I've not thought it was dry in the past. Now, it's really oily. Is there any connection? I wondered if the dead skin was removed and now all of the oil is coming up. (You can tell I don't really know much about this!) Or maybe it's part of detoxing? I know that the skin is a big organ of elimination for the body, too. Can anybody clear this up for me? Thanks!Smiles,Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Hi, I have this problem myself and thought I'd share some advice. Wash your face. I know that is a rather simple thing to say but many people with problem skin don't wash and it causes more problems. Don't use commercial soap on your face - but you can use handmade soap. A goatsmilk or baby soap for example is usually very mild and great for the skin. After washing - use a toner. This gives the skin an immediate drink and lets you smell nice while you're finising your toilet. I use rose hydrosol because I love the smell; I also use lavender when I'm feeling down or blue, or use tea tree or witchhazel if I'm having a bad oily day. I don't use these straight though - I mix up a blend of 2 parts flower hydrosol and one part tea tree or witchhazel. It won't smell as good but it works wonders. You can also use this during the day to touch up areas that are oily (my chin for example). Last of all - moisturise. Regardless of your skin type you really should moisturise with an appropriate moisturiser. The easiest way to find one you like is to into a retail store and make it clear you want advice and then soak it up. I use an extremely light one that has a sunscreen in it - I have had 7 cancers taken off my skin already so I will not use a moisturiser without it. If I need something extra I use a bit more. If I have spots I always use a handmade rose and lavender cream because otherwise it dries out and I pick at the scab and it gets worse... so I moisturise to prevent that. Onec a week I use a clay mask. I started off with green clay (which I recommend for " neglected " skin) mixed with warm water and left for a few minutes. Then I rubbed the clay on my face and washed off, then toned and moisturised. I've now moved to red clay which I recommend for " maintained " skin. You can add a few drops of EO or use a hydrosol to mix the clay to a paste. You could also try a pineapple or strawberry mask for oily skin. Just keep the cat away !

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 > > Dear Bee, Hi! I have been chugging along on the program quite nicely and feel pretty good.I just did my 1st water enema this morning-very interesting-I will do the next one in 4 days with the coffee. My question today is about my oily facial skin. As I've told you before through phone and email I have acne-37 years old. I have noticed-I'm on the supllements only 2 weeks today and diet full force about 1 month, 1 week and the pimples that do come around jaw and mouth area-my problem spots are not as deep although they still come they seem to be smaller. I look forward to them never returning soon-I know it will take time. What about my excessively oily skin-I use clo on my face only at night-(been doing this about 8 days now) because I just don't need that much oil--I wash in the morning-is this excessive oilyness part of the adrenal problem that causes the acne in the 1st place? Luv, Phyllis Hi Phyllis You be lucky and don't worry. Any problems you have now are TEMPORARY and enjoy them and don't be tempted to slather anything toxic on your emerging beautiful skin.

Since your skin is oily I suggest that you not apply coconut oil, and just let nature take its course, which will eventually normalize your skin. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
