Facials are beneficial for all skin types. A facial can stimulate circulation, remove impurities and toxins, exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells, and leave skin radiant.
CLEANSE:Wash with a gentle cleanser to remove surface dirt, pollutants, and toxins, while preparing your skin for steaming, instead of commercial soaps, which often contain detergents that can irritate skin, use mild, vegetable oil-based cleanser that will not irritate or strip your skin of its natural oils.
STEAM:An important step, steaming stimulates circulation, hydrates skin, and helps soften the surface layer of dead skin cells so that they can be easily reproved. Steaming also prepares your skin for the next step by opening pores, allowing nutrients to be better absorbed. Opening your pores deep cleans your skin by helping to release toxins and dirt from beneath the surface. If you don't have a facial steamer, simply lean your face over a bowl of hot water and place a towel over your head to create a tent that will trap the moisture close to your face. You can add essential oils to the water. Try tea tree oil to steam acne-prone skin (just don't apply directly to your face) Fennel seed is useful for dry or mature skin, or use lavender for normal or combination skin. Relax in this steam for 5 minutes, or until the water cools. If you don't have time for a long steam, apply a warm water compress to your face for a couple of minutes to help soften skin.
MASK:An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) mask, useful for most skin types, loosens the intercellular bonds that hold dead skin cells together. Regular use of AHA skin product prevents dead sking cells from accumulating on the skin's surface, helps to stimulate cell turover, and allow healthy new cells to merge. This also works to control acne by keeping pores clear and ridding the skin of toxins and excess oil. However, AHAs are not recommended for anyone who has rosacea or exposed capillaries, or for skin that is sunburned or enivironmentally damaged, since the acid can irritate sensitive skin. It's always important to recognize and respect your own skin's need. Masks can provide different actions to the skin. They can exfoliate, hydrate, moisturize, or deeply cleanse, depending on what you want to accomplish. For normal or combination skin, use exfoliating masks that contain kaolin, bentonite clay, red or green clay, zinc oxide, Dead Sea mus and salts,egg white, lactic acid, and papaya or pineapple enzymes. These ingredients can remove the top layer of dead cells, exposing the softer and smoother skin beneath. Traditionally green clay-based masks work well for oily, acne prone skin. Clay is able to pull impurities from the skin, absorb excess oil, clean pores, and exfoliate dirt and dead skin cells. If your skin is dehydrated, opt for a creamy, moisturizing mask with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, zinc oxide, seaweed, Viamins H, C, and E, NaPCA(Sodium salt of Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid), papaya enzyme, or pineapple enzyme. The substances can help replenish moisture.
TONE:Toning removes excess oils and soap residue. It also help balance your skin's pH level. Toners are formulated to restore the skin's normal pH level, which helps safeguard the acid mantle [skin's protective barrier.] Toners can also stimulate circulation and tightern pores. Use a cotton ball or pad to apply toner in upward strokes across your face and neck.
MOISTURIZER:Moisturizing after toning helps seal toner nutrients into the skin. It also helps skin stay hydrated. Choose a moisturizer for your skin type, selection botanicals and Vitamins that include green tea, grapeseed, or pycnogenol, and Vitamins A, C, and E for antioxidant protection. Particularly benefical for dry and mature skin types.

STRETCH MARKS:
Stretch Marks are wavy stripes appearing on the abdomen, buttocks, breast, and thighs. They start out reddish in color and gradually turn white. They are caused by rapid weight gain such as that typically associated with pregnancy and appear when the skin becomes overstretched and the fibers in the deep layers tear. Once they appear, they are permanent, but they do become much less noticeable with time. Try the following recipe for preventing stretchmarks: 1/2 cup virgin olive oil 1/4 cup aloe vera gel 6 capsules Vitamin E, cut open 4 capsules Vitamin A, cut open 1. Mix all the ingredients together in a blender. 2. Pour the mixture into a jar and store it in the refrigerator. Once a day, apply the oil externally all over the abdomen, hips and thighs- the places where stretch marks commonly appear. If you do this diligently, everyday, you may be able to prevent stretch marks. Apply cocoa butter and /or elastin cream topically as directed on the product label. These substances are very good for stretch marks.
COLDSORES (FEVER BLISTERS):
Cold sores, or fever blisters, are caused by herpes simples virus I.They first appear three to ten days after exposure and may last up to three weeks. The virus then remains in the body, and repeated outbreaks may be triggered by fever, a cold or other viral infection, exposure to sun and wind, stress, menstruation, or depression of the immune system. These sores afe very contagious. The first sign of a developing cold sore is local tenderness with a small bump. The bump then turns into a blister, and there may be more tenderness in the area. The adjacent lymph nodes may become swollen and tender. In some cases, pus oozes from the blisters, which makes eating difficult. Fortunately, there is always less discomfort with recurrences of cold sores than with the initial outbreak.
HERBS
For Cold sores, use echinacea, goldenseal, pau d' arco, and red clover.
Caution! Do not take goldenseal on a daily basis for more than one week at a time, and do not use it during pregnancy. If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or glaucoma, use it only under a doctor's supervision.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
