WHY DO WE HAVE OILY SKIN
(Info and face mask recipe)

The two main factors for oily skin are genetics and hormones. You can have genetic predisposition for oily skin, so if your parents have oily skin there is a big possibility that you will have it too. Hormones can also cause oily skin, especially during puberty, menopause, or before menstruation. Androgens are the hormones responsible for this problem.

Oily skin can also be caused by the environment we live in (humidity and hot weather), over-washing, medications, cosmetics, stress, and poor diet (eating foods filled with sugar, carbohydrates and dairy).

This mask will help you treat this problem.

The acidic nature of the strawberry (they are rich in Vitamin C) removes the excess oil from the skin.  The lemon has the same effect, but also reduces the pores and prevents acne and blackheads. Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect to the skin, cleans and moisturizes the skin. The yogurt contains lactic acid; this helps with dissolving the dead skin cells, reduces discoloration, prevents acne, and prevents premature aging of the skin.


THE FACE MASK


Ingredients:
¼ cup fresh strawberries
2 spoons of fresh lemon juice
1 spoon Greek yogurt
1 spoon honey


Mash the ingredients together, don’t put them into blender, and apply them to the skin. Leave it for 8-10 minutes, then wash it off with water.

Do this treatment two times a week.
