Bentonite Clay and Apricot Scrub for Dry Skin

Hello Berries!

Well, as life would have it, my skin went crazy as soon as I posted my skin care post. So I am currently in search of some new products. To combat most of this, I did do a clay mask and facial scrub, which helped a lot. I do need to find new products to get my skin under control, so if you have any recommendations, please leave them below.

**** This is what I do for my skin and even though my seborrheic dermatitis has relapsed, this has really worked for me. I do not have any exact measurements, because I mix until I am happy with my product. This time I made too much, so I have the leftovers in the fridge until next week.

Bentonite Clay Mix

I mix Bentonite clay with a mixture of half apple cider vinegar, half aloe vera juice. I try to move most of the lumps out by mixing with my finger, because it is easier for me.

I apply it to my face and neck, allowing it to dry for about 15-20 minute.

After drying, I rinse my face with warm water and blot dry with a clean towel.

Apricot Face Scrub

After drying my face, I dampen it again and apply my St. Ives Apricot scrub.

I focus mainly on my t-zone where my skin is the most affected.

I rinse my face once again and apply Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer.

Question: Do you ever use facial mask? What kind?

Skincare Routine

Hello Berries!

I have the most confusing skin ever. It’s sensitive, dry, and oily, but not combination type skin. I have seborrheic dermatitis and my skin gets red, inflamed, and flaky. I am constantly dealing with flare ups and an uneven skin tone in my t-zone and hairline. I have learned how to combat this for the most part and here are some things that I do to my skin, to keep it fairly healthy.

**** This is what I do to MY skin and it works for me. I may break some skincare rules, but I am okay with that.

I wash my face daily with Shea Moisture Black Soap. I follow up with coconut oil or homemade shea butter mix.

 Once a week I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I cannot use it more often, because it irritates my skin very badly, but I really like it to remove the flaky skin I get from seborrheic dermatitis. I then follow up with my daily face washing routine.

Once a month I use Bentonite Clay mixed with apple cider vinegar and aloe vera juice. I use this to pull all of the impurities out of my skin and close my pores.

I sometimes use Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer, but I do not really care for it.

I am looking for a good moisturizer, but my shea butter has been working fairly well for now. It does not leave my skin over greasy or dry.

If I am having acne problems, I use Paula’s Choice Clear Acne Kit. It comes with Clear Pore Normalizing Cleanser, Clear Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution, and Clear Daily Skin Clearing Treatment.
